Track Day
Tomorrow I will be taking my ZL1 to Buttonwillow Raceway for some good ol fashion fun. Its only a little over an hour away and they have an open track day. $200 gets you as many laps as you want from 8-5pm. This will be my first time at a track, I already have my GoPro suctioned to my windshield. I will post video this weekend.

Im super excited, Ive watched a few videos of the course on youtube and looks like so much fun. Cant wait to open her up and see what she is made of, or I should say, see what I am made of . No worrying about cops, pedestrians, on coming traffic, or light poles. Just wide open track

Enjoy the seat time. I think you are going to be in for thrill. Post video's, we can feel it even if we aren't there..... I look forward to getting off the street and onto a road course very much to unleash the Beast. Have fun, and enjoy the day!

Have fun and good luck! Sounds like a blast. I'm going to a road course on July 15th at Englishtown, but unfortunately I won't have the break in miles over with. I'm going to run my 01 SS Camaro SLP. First time ever on a road course, can't wait!

I plan to track my car when I get it. Two things I like to do before I track a new car, have the brake fluid changed to Motul 600.(or some higher temp fluid) And have the alignment checked to see if it's within spec. Anyone know what brake fluid the car comes with?

Gary, Good job! Some new guys suprise themselves how quickly they pic up on late braking and you can boil your fluid!
