Curious to see...who else is driving on the track on Thursday? I will be driving my Maserati up from Boston early Thursday morning - Jon
Jon, I am driving Thursday morning also. Let me know if you want caravan. Looking at the schedule we should be there by 9:00 am. Gene
A semi-large contingent from the NY Tri-state region will be there (a few that'll actually be racing)... I'll be there in my white F-chat shirt, want to meet at Will H's silver modified 512tr race car at 11?

I'll be there on Friday in the Bose tent. Bose is a sponsor of the 360 challenge and we will be there giving in-car demonstrations of the Bose sound system in the new Quattroporte. You are all welcome to stop by- the tent also makes a convenient, shady meeting place if you are looking for a rally point for the day. I'll have my helmet with me. Is there a kind soul with an empty passenger seat who would be willing to give me a spin around the track in one of the touring sessions?
A bunch of us from "Team Pilota" will be at the track from Thursday through Saturday... BigHead Dennis Liu, John Tirrell, Pete Lombardo, Joe Capasso, and Bob Hatch. I participated last year in my silver 308QV -- kept up pretty well with the rest of the "Sport" group consistently running 1:06 to 1:08 lap times (and no I wasn't the problem 308 in the group) -- and the event was fantastic! Because only a couple of drivers registered for the "Dealer Touring" group, everyone registered for the Sport group (except maybe the 333SPs) was allowed to run in both the Sport and Touring as long as we toned it down during the Touring sessions... that resulted in a mondo amount of track time for all of us. Hopefully we'll do the same thing again this year. This year I'll be driving my 355 Challenge Car (Barchetta Red, Yellow Trim, #23) which I purchased last winter. William, there definitely is a full track day on Thursday with four 20-minute sessions for each group. If they let us run in both groups again, we're looking at over 2-1/2 hours of track time. I remember your silver TR well last year... you were cooking with gas out there on the track! Look forward to a great weekend at the track! Charlie Vest
I will be driving out on saturday morning, early. Friday is a possibility if I can get the day off..... Bill
