I believe there are still a few events left this year, even going until mid-October.

I always say there is a fine line between hard runnin' and abuse. I have over 700+ miles of track time on my '14 1LE. The car just turned 20,000 miles on my way to the track yesterday. It has not missed a beat, and I am running it pretty hard, but not as hard as Adam, lol. Well, maybe one problem, I had trouble downshifting it into third gear a few times Matt, good to see you again, I do not think I've seen any V6 Gen 5 Camaros at the track, that just goes to show awesome your car is. Nice and light too!

I attended the PittRace PDE today. It was only the North course, but I ended up enjoying that much more than I thought I would. You get twice as many laps per session which gives you more chances to get a good lap time.
I ran at least one 1:08 lap and several 1:09s. Matt was out on the track with me today. Holy crap that guy is fast. If he had SS badges on his car, nobody would know the difference. I certainly have more respect for the V6s after seeing what he's able to do with his. |

I really do enjoy the North Track. I'm a rhythm driver, I need it to lay down good laps. I usually run my best times late in the day, after I get into the "groove". The fast laps of the North Track makes it easy to get into a nice pace, IMHO. I watched Matt's video of the event also, yeah. he's knocking down great times. I need to follow him so I can learn something!
I mentioned Adam in the AGM Gen 5 1LE, he had run a 1:58.0 in session 3.

In case anyone is interested, here's a link to my PDR video from yesterday. If you notice me slow down for seemingly no reason a couple times, it was due to yellow flags.

Thanks guys! It was a good day with nice weather and not a lot of drivers. Even went for ride in a SRT-10 Ram, which was effin hilarious and FAST.
Had fun trying to keep up with Travis, (didn't work out so well lol). Still like the south track a bit better I think.

Thank you very much for the car compliment. Now if only I could find it a better driver! Your car was very nice too, I like the silver with black wheels scheme. And how about that black 5th gen Z28? I did ask someone about the sign up when I first got there but they directed me the right way. I thought they were actual employees though so maybe that wasn't me but my fiance was with me so maybe it was. That was actually a birthday gift to me though my birthday is in July. I used active rev match so downshifting was not issue for me. God help me if I didn't have it. That whole experience really woke me up. I by no means thought I was some type of pro driver but I did expect to do a little better than I did.

With road racing, there are many opportunities to not get it right. Having an instructor goes a long way. I've never had one for the South Track, and want to get one next year. Having a lap timer like Harry's or Tack Addict can be valuable, you can compare your sessions and help ID where you need to improve. I like Harry's lap timer because is gives a wealth of data, while my buddy Marco (CarGuy11 on youtube) like Track Addict for his C7 Z51. What were your tire pressures, cold and hot? I will also say, that if a driver is not comfortable/relaxed, it is difficult to be fast. Any anxiety limits proper driving, because your senses are muted/distracted to the feedback of the car.

Anyone coming to the Chin Motorsports event this weekend?
I'll be there both days. It'd be awesome if some of you guys could make it. |

Damn, can't get in. Novice is booked. Could run solo but I've done that a few times already. Really wanted the instruction.
