beddow - how about signing up Red Gump as our track official since he has experience and he will not be driving? That way he can't drink our beer!
Audiblemayham - if you can't find a set, I have an extra set. They are chemically treated Falkens mounted on the the Z's stock wheels (these punch the same numbers as my Cups), I use them for AutoX. We could work something out as far as paying for the wear on them - not much - maybe $100 depending on the wear. As long as you give me back the wheels in the same shape, or pay for the damage. The only problem is - I can only trailer one set of wheels and Levent doesn't have any room in his car.

I live in Albany - Georgia. If you can figure out how to get them there - I can't haul them as I will be already trailering a set of wheels and tires and can't fit two sets on my trailer. One thing to point out - these tires act like low temp R-Compound tires (much like the V710)- so you can't drive them on the street!

Sounds like great idea to me Michael,now if Eric(red gump) comes back on the forum he will realize he's been volunteered 
If he wishes to command that position that would be a great help.Eric let us know if you would be interested in being our lead track official.
I do not know if I posted this website up but this site has some good info for the first timers and me

This list is just a baseline we will modify your level after the first session if necessary.
Level 1= Novice non aggressive 5-6/10
Never driven at speed on a track with other cars,do not want to push their cars hard, concerned with tire chunking, brakes fading, etc. in this case we will have a experienced driver quickly run through a few important things you'll want to know before your out there.

Ask him about his 4th place against 70 corvettes with the Z.

i might just get some brand new 245 40 R Hoosiers for my stock wheels.... they will be worth the money in the long run i am thinking. i wont shave them and will use this track time and maybe my next one to wear them down and get used to driving on some really sticky tires.
thanks again...

Can we maybe have two groups of level 1? That way the track doesn't get that crowded? It would be ideal to only have 5 people on the track at a time.
Man am I excited! Got my car corner wieghted the other day. She is HEAVY - 3616# w/ me in it. Yet, it is 50/50 cross, 50/50 left/right, and 51/49 front/rear - can't really get any more perfect than this.
