    What all is expected to be there? I went to one of the ones put on by Cauley last summer. Any idea if they'll be putting more on this summer?

    Cauley mentioned something when we were there 5/6/06 but they did not have details yet.

    There is nothing expected to be there 5/28/06 just tuning sessions. I think the WHRRI website siad there'd be 4 diff skill level groups.

    Good turnout. I was the only Ferrari. I was in the yellow group (4th group out of 5 with 5 being the least skilled). There were two Porshe one lotus and one corvette in my group in addition to everything else under the sun. The track was full; by the time I was released from the staging area the first guys out were already around. I got 5-15 minute sessions but could have gotten 2 more but I packed up early. There was a Noble in one of the other groups. I was pretty slow, my first time in a car on the race track, I did not want to run off the track and my car was sliding around quite a bit. With the Toyo proxes tires, I think tires need to be worn down a little, I could not find anyone to shave them and I could of probably experimented a little with air pressure (if I knew more of what I was doing).
