It was like 78-80 when I was there the end of April. Felt great actually.

The C8 seemed quicker through the AutoX but it's really mostly driver Tammie was in a CT4BW and simply walked off from our groups lone CT5 during lapping.

@Throat Yogurt that explains a lot...

I think we've also got @Megamike55 and @Mike Martz, unless their plans have changed.

Yes I'm flying out today in a few hours from Miami. Temps are in the 90's during the day, so might be a little toasty.

Looking forward to meeting the group and driving hard!

Wow.... I don't think I've ever held so much hate towards anything as much as I just did against the Vegas airport and rental car clusterfuck. 2 1/2 hours from landing to finally getting in our rental Car. At the track now and already it looks like it's going to be a fantastic 2 days.

Try Boston Logan sometime when there is an accident in the tunnel. I had no issues with LAS, get off plane, get firearm, take bus to rental car facility.

What agency? I chose National where usually you just pick your car and go - hopefully it’s the same in Vegas.

Delay leaving Miami (of course) but I’ll be landing in about 2 hours, so hopefully be there by 8:00pm.

Brutal. Mine took about a half hour (Budget).

I'm doing the Allegiant Stadium tour in a little bit then heading out to Pahrump.

Golden Hour CT4s

jonnywaffles11 · May 20, 2023

Had a great time with @Matt27 and @Megamike55. Echoing what everyone said, awesome instructors, awesome cars. And like I've said the past 2 days, I paid for the whole car, I intend to use the whole car. Even used the gravel that I didn't pay for!

In the video you will watch me getting intimate with parts of the course that not everyone got to experience!

That’s fantastic, you will now be immortalized in the training class where they show your video to all the new students.

He hasn't seen the footage yet, but I'll blame the sand on his behalf.

Oh my, I wonder if the drone was also running.

The only problem I had with #41 were the slower cars in front. On day two I joined a group of 5BW most with auto. One would pull away in the straight and I would catch him in the "esses". The other person was very experienced and runs at Walkins Glenn in a track prep CT4V. Him and the instructor smoked me in their CT5 BW.

jonnywaffles11 have you run NJMP?, I will be there on May 29th.

I had #34a (CT4, A10) overheat on me twice this weekend. Other than that, everything was awesome.
