Re: Do you roadrace?

I think I am somewhere north of six times out on the track. I am not sure of the count....

Re: Do you roadrace?

Yup, matter of fact ran off the track at Gingerman road course in my '06 Zee, going too fast into turn 1.

Had fun though!

Re: Do you roadrace?

Although it seems like a distant memory at this point (been a year since my last race), I do believe I qualify for the "too many times to count" vote.

Re: Do you roadrace?

Whenever I can! I Instruct for NASA and compete in the Time Trial group class TTU. I just love it and really do not drive the car off of the track very much anymore. Try to run on the track about once a month.

Re: Do you roadrace?

Denny,
Thanks for the invitation. I have always wanted to get up to Spring Mountain, and hanging with a bunch of Vette guys sounds great, but I am not able to make that weekend. If it frees up I will let you know!

"Instructors Needed for Spring Mountain Driving Event
...
If you have instructor status with any track organization and would like to participate as an instructor, please contact Roc Linkov, NCM Events Manager, at roc@corvettemuseum.com or 800-538-3883 x162 to provide your driver’s log information."

Bob:... above extracted from events page ... if you can't make this one ... OK; however, there will be future events out west and you can get yourself established in their instructor database. A lot of the instructors at VIR were from NASA SE and NASA MA ...
