Should be a good day!

Will you be able to swing the 30 minute sessions? That gives a good 20 minutes of hard drive time, and time to unwind in between. I prefer the 30s when there are only 3 run groups. I hope it's easy to accommodate!

Does the track go hot at 8:30? 9? Run until 5?

At this time, we are still doing the 20 minutes session, we might change it later. The reason for keeping the 20 mins session is that it will be easier to keep track on time.

Yes Track goes hot at 8:30 and end at 4:30pm.

Heck of a deal...7 sessions for $150 and it's on a dry Saturday too! This is worth waking up at 4:30AM for.

is right - happened during (or just before) the first session. I thought I smelled oil while I was bedding in the brakes, and got the meatball flag at the end of the first session. RMS is already fixed - was brittle as a plate. Rob at ZCG, who has serviced more Zs around here than anyone else, said he has never seen a RMS fail before. I guess my car is different since - you know - it is tracked and autox'd to death.

I did see this one picture of me during that session. I am driving the silver SC'd Z on the right in A group, while my friend/owner drove it in the B group.
