Loaned my Z to my brother in-law while his CTS-V is at Hennessey. I could still bring the wifes G37 sedan though. Hopefully the CTS-V will be ready by Cars and Coffee.

Me too. Hate to bail on TWCC, especially since I've never been, but that's monthly and the Bluebonnet Run is once a year. The chance to drive on TWS pushed it over the top. I got to drive on the track at Indianapolis two years ago and it was awesome.

Either way, there's a good group of Z folks going to both, so you can't go wrong. :tup:

Yeah but from my understanding everyone will be driving at a predetermined pace not even pushing their cars. I'd rather be actually racing, or even better, drifting.

I go to indy for MOTO gp races every year. I get to ride on the track watch the race and on the way home I spent a day or two in Kentucky on the most amazing back roads going to the bourbon distillery n eat bbq. Second week of August if anyone is interested. Taking the Z this year not the bike.

TWS is an interesting road course. Even for a few low-speed paced laps. Lots of ups and downs, blind hills, etc. And of course the big banked straight using part of the original banked oval track. It's just fun all around.

You need to sign up for a track day somewhere. There will be one going on at TWS when we visit on Sunday. You could check into it then.

Drifting was two weekends ago at the Greyhound track south of town, and Race Fuel and Red Meat was at MSR last week on Thursday. Plenty of opportunities to push your car around Houston; the Club just doesn't get into those things on a cruise. Too many drivers of varying abilities, it's unsafe on public roads, and when you add up the value of the cars present, an s-load of money involved.

Been going to the 500 since 1979. Sadly, the majority of the folks on the Board weren't even born then!

The year of the inaugural MOTO GP, they did a demonstration run on 500 race day - I think it was Nicky Hayden. I was standing behind the outside pit wall when he went by on the main straight, and it was quite impressive.

I used to skip HS to go watch practice at Indy. LOL!

And the next RMRF is April 12th: Red Meat and Race Fuel . I should have my brakes put back together by then and be out there. No instructors at this event, but it's pretty laid back open lapping if you've been out to any track events before.

Dreamer -- so.. next Thursday? :) or this Thursday? and Where and when? :)
