There are only a few spots left for Saturday and a few more than that on Sunday, so if you want to drive the track, you better register right away. If you just want to come and hang-out. There is plenty of room for that.

We already have 11 Corvettes registered for this event. We have more Corvettes than any other make/model of car. How cool is that. We will be trouncing all the other cars for two days.

There are only 2 spots left for Saturday and four or five left on Sunday. You better hurry if you want to go. Or you can just go and hang-out with the rest of in the garage and go for a ride-along with one of the instructors if you ask.

From the Speed Ventures site, here is who I see registered so far:

1. Mountain Biker - C5 Z06 - Instructing
2. Terry Free - C6 Z06 - Instructing
3. Sean Reis of Orange County Corvette - C5 Z06 or C6 or ?
4. Bob Marsan C5 Z06
5. Craig Dale - C5 Z06
6. Cuda - C5 Z06
7. First Time - C4
8. Joe B - C4
9. MC - C6
10. Moose - C6 Z06
11. Oli Thordarson - C5 Z06
12. Slomo - C5
13. Sweet - C5 Z06
14. American Muscle - instructing for Corvettes
15. jhammons01 - previewing for run in December when his car is ready

[Subdriver]

For those that haven't done a DE, I highly recommend them.

I also encourage those that are interested, but just not quite sure to go watch one. I think that you'll find that they are all well run, allowing each driver to run within their comfort zone, while getting to experience what this car was really designed for in a legal and relatively safe manner.

The list of drivers keeps getting better and better:

1. Mountain Biker - C5 Z06 - Instructing
2. Terry Free - C6 Z06 - Instructing
3. Sean Reis of Orange County Corvette - C5 Z06 or C6 or ?
4. Bob Marsan C5 Z06
5. Craig Dale - C5 Z06
6. Cuda - C5 Z06
7. First Time - C4
8. Joe B - C4
9. MC - C6
10. Moose - C6 Z06
11. Oli Thordarson - C5 Z06
12. SBrown - C6 Z06
13. Slomo - C5
14. Sweet - C5 Z06
15. TicketBait - C6 Zo6
16. American Muscle - instructing for Corvettes
17. jhammons01 - previewing for run in December when his car is ready

With only 80 cars allowed to register, we will have almost 25% of the enrolled field of cars.

Plus Sean tells me that he has gotten calls from about another 15 Corvettes/drivers showing up to hang-out.

[Subdriver]

That's great news Oli. Wish I could make it...

Plus people going to this event will get to see some nutball piledrive the straights in an 800hp Z06, and go off at the first corner when his GM ceramic pads prove as useful as a cup 'o spit in turn one!

[Olitho]

I talked to Aaron of Speed Ventures a little while ago. He is showing 21 Corvettes registered. Woo Hoo! Our group comprises just over 25% of the field of cars on the track!!!

Aaron says there is one spot left on Saturday and 13 spots left on Sunday. I bet those last 13 spots get snatched up by tomorrow night by last minute wafflers waiting to decide whether they can go this weekend, or some parts come in, etc. I know I have two friends, one in an Ariel Atom and the other a Beemer, who are planning to register tonight for Sunday driving.

So if you want to go, you better register now.

In other news Sean from Orange County Corvette says:
Well we had such a good response that we added more garages. We have 16 spaces in all. Let me know if you want a spot.

800 HP cars get priority!!!
