Free! Helmets Off to Heroes Nov 11, 2012
 

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....

DriveLab is honored to hold a high performance driving event just for you, our heroes, who have fight so bravely to defend our country.

Some of you have come out to Summit Point Raceway and have gone for rides with the instructors from the various car clubs. It was an honor to have you in our cars, and almost all of you had expressed the wish to drive. On Sunday, November 11th you shall have your wish! This is your opportunity to have the fun of driving on a race track, on the Jefferson Circuit at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia, about an hour and forty five minutes from Washington DC.
Since you have given so much, and all its great instructors want to give something in return, a Day at the Track.

So bring out your cars, specially equipped or not, or just come out for the camaraderie with your peers for a day of great fun, great company and a great experience. This event is free for all military, Wounded Warriors and veterans!

Whether you love driving, or hate driving“, are a beginner or not, “HELMETS OFF TO HEROES” hopes you will come out to enjoy yourselves. No experience necessary.
