I know, this is dirt cheap for driver instruction. It is usually $300 to 500

That and the chance to get on the track.

I saw this and am going to be pulling my '99 Z28 out of storage earlier than planned, just so I can make the event.

I am also posting on a couple local boards to stir up more interest. Would be nice if I could put together a small convoy of vehicles from Austin.

I would love to attend this, it is an awesome price for sure. Although, I am on the same boat as blown99. My car is apart at the moment, and I am not sure if it will be done before then.

Is this still a go?

I went to the MSR link above and didn't see it scheduled.

I'll call tomorrow. Just thought I'd ask.
