Sounds like Pocono. The road course is shit. The Oval is supreme...and banked...and very very rough getting on and off of it.

Closest I have been was kicking up cones at a woman's only autocross school...


Although I love to go with my husband and his friends. Hopefully I will be out on the track by the fall.

My husband at Button Willow...where we will be on the 31st.




So far my least favorite track to take pictures at.

Nice Mrs. Colleen, looks like you're moving pretty good in that pic. Bet that car is fun to drive!

Here's one from my first track day...I was still fighting the natural urge to stay ON the bike.
I've been hooked ever since!

Edit: Good Stuff CEO, just watched the vids. Looks like you rode some twisties before hitting up the track, huh? It shows.
Look at my pic below, I was scared shitless on my first tday. And I'm sure it showed. HAHA

It was SO much fun! And yeah, that car can move!
My instructor had a C5 Z06 so she knew how Corvette work in those sorts of courses. She taught me that if you mash the peddle before the car is completely straight while coming out of a corner it WILL loose the back end...finding out for sure was the fun part! I did not completely spin out but I was squirling around a bit.

Yeah, I bet, those things have some power!! Thats why I stick with my little 4 cilinger honda!! I'd be mashing that way to often just to get squirling!!

My favorite turn at JGP, 13!!!



Riding a friends Motard:



Quite possibly my best riding friend, and definitely the man responsible for making me a track-slut Jimmy, and me. (Look VERY closely at the front of Jimmy's Bike)



Last one, I have to upload this one for some reason, I don't think I have it hosted anywhere. It's the best track shot of me by far, T5 at Barber. (Check the clearance on the case cover/shifter)
