First time at a road course in a Z/28???

You're going to have a BLAST.

Add me to the NCM Track list please.
Paid my $$ and ready to enjoy some hot laps.


I have run one session at NCM during Camarofest6 in the intermediate class and was very comfortable running in front pack.
Ok with the same intermediate run group this time if available.
PM me with any questions.

You can add me to the list. I will be in Novice 1 since this will be my first time on a track that isn't straight and a 1/4 mile in length.

Will there be anyway for passengers to join along if you are in the novice groups? I know it specifies advanced only but I am curious

They can ride in the parade laps. Otherwise you would have to let them hitch a ride in one of the instructors cars.

I enjoyed meeting you and your dad at the last NCM track event but this time leave that pesky throttle controller at home, I remember it giving you a lot issues last time out on track. The intermediate run group sure was a good run last time and I can't wait for July to get here.

That's correct. We do this for safety...besides, for the first half of the day, the instructor will likely be in that seat.

It did go into limp mode on me once and that was one time too many So I trashed that thing. Well I sold it for $50 lol. Have since installed LT and did a tune so no worries now. )). And yes that run group was fun. I ran my little ponies as hard as they would go trying to stay up with the ZL1s and woahed it back down when my seat bunched up under me. Lol. It sure was fun and actually the wet track was enjoyable on the MPSS I was running that day.

Are you running same intermediate run group or are you moving up to advanced?

I would like to stay in intermediate but I think they want to move us guys up to advance to have more room for folks who may not have as much seat time. I've got coated ARH LT's in the garage waiting to go on in the near future.

You'll do fine in the advance run group if it comes to that....you've got skill's for sure and you know how to handle your car on track.

There should be plenty of room in the Intermediate group. We've created TWO beginner groups to account for all the newbies who will either a) be learning, or b) be improving.

The advanced group will be filled with the instructors and the crazies who have track-weapon setups or tons and tons of time under their belts.....

But if it comes to it, we will move folks up/down/around to get the most enjoyable, and safest fit for everyone.
