Check the Member Classifieds. If you must really have OME then you might be waiting for a while. If you don't need OME there is a great set on Ebay for $1200 I was considering. A few folks on here have purchased.

Hey everyone!

New to the forum, Chevy, American cars in general... just picked up a 2018 Nightfall Grey ZL1 10-speed.

Probably won't be tracking it as I have a dedicated track car I can afford to break. The ZL1 will be seen at meetups, group drives, and Whole Foods

My suggestions (highest to lowest, assuming by your question you haven't been on any track before):
- go out with a club that has instruction (in-car if possible) so that every car has an experienced person in it. This will drastically reduce chances of mishaps. BMWCCA, PCA and others offer this.
- NASA HPDE has fewer instructors, but still helps you get around and orient on the track. Great second option.
- Open Lapping days - take it easy, meet some folks who have been there and ask them if you can follow them for a few laps (if they're willing to go a bit slower) so you can get a lay of the land. Learn to point folks by so you don't have to "try to stay in front of them", b/c that is when mistakes happen. Chances are you'll have "slower" cars on your bumper at some point during the day - it's courteous/expected to let them pass if they're on your butt in the corners even if you can pull away on the straights.
- watch some videos to get an idea what the line is so you can stay on it. Being predictable is key...

We'll be out there a few more times before Memorial Day weekend - if come out during an open lapping day and you see a Garnett Red camaro come by and we can give you some additional pointers. Good luck!

Disclosure: I instruct for the BMWCCA - we have a driving school on Memorial Day weekend - it's a fantastic way to get your feet wet, and you will have instructor in-car at all time to help coach you and gain speed safely and methodically. Costs a bit of money, but it's a massive bargain compared to professional schools b/c heavily volunteer supported (instructors etc)

I have not been on a track before, thank you for the info. I will look into this.

Sounds good - we may be out there July 5th for open lapping... I'll try to remember to confirm here if we end up going if you want to tag along as passenger (or drive).
Cheers!

I'm probably re-locating from Florida to Centennial/Denver for work. Already have my 2019 2SS on Michelin AS3+ which are decently rated, do I need to have any concerns about winter driving? Might consider buying a beater winter car like a 4Runner...
