Rally to Summit Point Nov 11, 2012 FREE
 

All,
I plan to attend this again this year. I was there last year and had a freak'n blast! Last year I had the Pontiac Solstice, but this year, I've got the Z. We did the wet track, lots of course time and other activities. If you want to do a run up from Fredericksburg, VA, lets meet up and run the course. I took my daily driver and other than upgrading my brakes, I was just fine. Got to ride around in a 500+ HP Ferreri race car and learned a lot! :tup: Then we went out and had some good chow and cigars....

Last year, I stayed at a hotel not far from there. It was a heck of a lot of fun and more track time than my Solstice could handle. Met some really great people and learned a lot about my how my old car handled. Looking to getting the stock Z out on the skid pad. :tup:

Skid pad was fun. I spent my time learning recovery and the feeling of initial oversteer, and countering it as quickly as possible. If I get on it again, I want to try to maintain a slide.

This might be interesting..

Come on out. Its a no pressure track time. Low key, but lots to do. The only thing I didin't like was all the marks on the car from the Damn cones I couldn't seem to avoid in the braking events...LMAO...guess thats what a Clay bar is for? You should sign up and go out. :tup:

So you Have to sign up to attend, it can't be a show up the day-of sort of thing?


Cost?

Do we have a list of the planned events yet? Or is it gonna be sort of open driving?

I just registered. All I did was email him/her. Took 5 minutes.

Cost will be evening but the track fees, likely...brakes, hotel, food...all that stuff.

Sent from my Galaxy S3

If it's a one day thing, do you need a hotel??

This looks like fun, but I'm not eligible for it. FYI the Jefferson circuit is the same one I did my first hyperdrive in and the same one I drove the Gallardo around. It's small, but you can still have a lot of fun on it. Have fun guys :tup:

Free track time is free track time. I dont care how small the track is lol.
