C5 here is the company that you can get the trackdaze insurance from.

I guess trackdaze isn't offering it through their registration process anymore.
OK cool man thanks for the information, I am going to push to make this.

suspension should be set up by then, and this is just before I go back for round 2 or surgery which will put me out till September most likely

Well good luck on the surgery. I hope you can make the track day.

What suspension setup will you be going with?

Thanks, I just received some LG gt2 adjustable coilovers, I am going to run them with Pfadt light rate adjustable sways, and a Z06 spec alignment and either pilot super sports or RE-11's.

Nice! That sounds like a sick setup! I ran the pilot super sports at my last event and i must say they have phenomenal grip. I would looove to see your vette stretch it's legs at VIR. Summit Point would make you mad as it's not as big of a track.

This event motivated me to finally purchase new suspension...now just need to decide if I should upgrade my brakes or purchase better wheels/tires.

Stock Brake, wheel and tires. Its an HR and have heard for my application I should just do SS Brake lines, better pads and fluids.

Kyle that's great. Here is a look at the Full course at VIR. Look at the straight before turn 14. That's where you're going to be on the brakes the hardest. You will definitely get some speed in that straight. You should get to at least 130+ on that straight. Maybe more.






Here is Summit Point's 2 mile full course map. Between turns 10 and 1 I got up to 130 there, and my Z is an 03 with just a plenum spacer and exhaust.

Mutation it is very serious. All gear heads should drive it once in their life. Along with Road Atlanta, and Sebring.

I have Tokico blues that I have sitting in the garage that I never installed. My F will get coil overs. So are you in Kyle? We will be driving down in a caravan.
