Are there still the Caravans making the trip to the track (as was planned for the previous event)?

The previous event was with the Northern Virginia Corvette Club, they were arranging the caravan. There is no organized/official caravan for this event. It's not a Corvette event, just a normal open test and tune at the track.

So far I only know two ZR-1's going to race, plus you. If you want to meet up in Leesburg on the way to the track, though, let me know. It'll be pretty informal in terms of time and whatnot, but I'm sure 2-3 of us will drive up at the same time. Though Mike might be towing his car, in which case he might not want to caravan.

But if you don't mind following a Caddy up there, cruising in the left lane at 10 under with the blinker on, you are welcome to come along.

Me too... pick a time and place in Leesburg and I'll be there.

Mike rounded up a few people. You all might remember Mike with the silver C5Z06 race car that ran with us in April '10? He'll be there, and his neighbor Ron with the red A6 C6, now he has a C5Z street car.

Mike and Mike will likely trailer their cars, so I am waiting to hear back on if it is feasible for them to meet up or not. Then I'll let you all know. Otherwise, worst case, we'll just meet at my house and then meet them on the way or at the track.

Just a reminder, it's not the Corvette thing, so no 8am. TnT is 11-4. $30 to race, $10 to watch.

Weather forecast is looking good, should be a great time. And since it is later, hopefully the track temp will be higher from the sun. Still, I wouldn't expect a ton of prep.

Ok, so let's meet here:

Exeter shopping center in Leesburg, and roll out for the dragstrip at 10:30am. It would be easy to get out on US-15 from there, it's on Battlefield Pkwy right where it hits US-15.

If you are using in-car nav, punch in the 7-11 there:
700 Fieldstone Drive NE
Leesburg, VA

The day started off with a plethora of other cars and a dearth of traction. But as the day went on, that started to reverse. By about 3pm traction was getting good, Z's were running faster, and there weren't many people still there.

So it definitely turned into a great day, though it wasn't clear at the start that it would be.

Here's some pictures:
