McMullen20 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm sure most will agree that it's hard to refrain from letting a supercharge 5.4 "breathe" a little now and again. However, I think everyone will agree the safest place to do this is on a closed course. Track season is upon us and I was wondering if others would be interested in competing within the GT500 forum to see who can put in the most track time expressed in miles. Anything from high speed touring to a 1/4 mile run would count. A good start may be a drivers school (Skip Barber) designed to test limits of both car and driver. This would be completely on the honor system and hopefully foster some terrific stories as people report back on their progress. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only be using the drag strip, so how about splitting the class. One for road courses and one for drag strips? Thanks, Blayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersmech1 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Sign me and SCGT500 up. I've got a vert with no roll bar, so we'll be taking turns in his car. Even though it is slower than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Why don't we explore Elkhart some more. Who would be interested in this? I can make that with some advanced notice. I'm a few hours away in Indy but have family in SW MI that's only 30 minutes away. You can count me in as 1 that is interested in this. Are we talking ellkhart, IN? or is there another one?

McMullen20 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Why don't we explore Elkhart some more. Who would be interested in this? I plan on joining the Northwoods Shelby Club NWShelby. This group hosts a 3 day weekend event at Road America (Elkart Lake, Wisconsin) every year, and gets out to the Milwaukee Mile as well. Road America is very open to getting groups in, however the cost is $11,300/day for car clubs. This cost includes wreckers and various EMS personnel. Normally I'd be all over it...but I did pay an ADM. The Northwoods Shelby group will be there August 17th-19th this year. I'll check on club member costs to get on the track. ...Ya hey der? We're not that far up nort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
