Default Road Racing!

I'm going for the first time on the 22nd! Going out to "Texas Driving Experience." Has anyone else gone there? Any advice? This thread doesn't really have a point, I'm just kinda excited about being able to (legally) race and figured I should force my excitement on you all.

Road racing threads are in the road racing forum.

Is this HPDE? Some sort of timed event like Time Attack? Or is this some sort of crazy Texas wheel-to-wheel outlaw racing?

so he gets to drive a Z06 on track??? I think i would take that over a Z as well. Only if they allow us to actually run them hard, however. No ***** footin' around in a Z06, that's just bad publicity.

Boy, you guys SURE know what you're talking about. I WILL get to drive my Z. Not riding as a passenger...not driving a Z06 (wouldn't mind that though.)...me...driving my car. "z-u-later," maybe do a little more research next time and you won't appear as ignorant.

You're the idiot who started a thread with vague information. I had to post a link for everyone so they'll know what you're talking about. Like you stated earlier, "This thread doesn't really have a point." I couldn't agree more. Your IQ level is probably lower than your total # of posts.

You posted the link and didn't even read it, so you're the f**ktard that just assumed something. Maybe you're just too idiotic to understand their third title, "Our Track, Your Car." I agree, that's gotta be code for something else. I also didn't think there would be anyone stupid enough to think road racing translates into being a passenger.

You really hit me where it hurts, my number of posts. ouch.

My God what a tough crowd. I was going to post that we finally have our T-2 SCCA car back together and took it to the paint shop to clean up some minor dents, paint the hood, front bumper, rear bumper and a spare fender, but with this crowd, forget it. Anyway we are looking for a saturday test at Summit Point prior to the double national at VIR 11, 12, & 13 April. This will be the start of our season with the second race at Summit Point on 17 - 18 May and then a double national at Nelson Ledges on 23, 24. 25 May.

Thanks to Billhyco for volunteering to crew for us at VIR and of course we look forward to JMark taking pictures and keeping the car looking nice.

Yeah, it wasn't really a tough crowd until "z-u-later" started being a "z-u-hater" haha, I know that was probably the stupidest thing you'll read all week, but whatever.
