    Yes it is a nice drive up there then a casual day where even a garage queen will get no damage and not have to even park close to anyone who could ding a door. Auto-X speed are low but the tight course is a thrill. I could trailer out the pretty 550 and stick a full size bar-be-que and many comforts of home in my pick-up truck bed. My Ram boxes are ice chests!

    I have to find out but my guess would be yes because speeds are low. A wreck at an auto-x can happen but they are as rare as a "man bite dog" story.
    Website makes no mention of spyders so I did email the organizer. Other pics on the site show verts however.

    promoter says: " 7/11/15 is open to all cars, but we will have 2 groups of only corvettes. You will still get 15+ runs."

    More then enough for me, I need nap time


    Were thinking of painting like this but being so close to the airport we may get unexpected visitors.

    BTW I am looking for a missile, large size. We can plant in the front yard so it looks like it landed there and did not go off if you ever see any in your travels

    Wing tanks are a nice missile option. Usually see them at Xmas time with Santa.

    When's that streets of willow $99 for the day extreme event I saw advertised?

    ES runs something like it all the time. Best is to do it via Alfa club when they have a mixed event. Alfa controls the drivers much better if anyone is less sure of their own skills or worried about contact or car damage.

    The reason for suggesting auto-x is for no damage to nice streetcars. Not many like me are willing to race ferraris or even put nice cars on track in HPDE.
