Now you're talkin!

I found it harder to steer on the straight away vs. the curves. In the turns I was able to literally let go of the steering wheel and the car tracked around the curves. The straight's had grooves and lumpy asphalt....

Looking forward to seeing you and the Vette doing laps!

The only thing scarier is doing the bank at 50 mph for a rolling start - your eyes tell you the car should be tumbling down sideways!

His response is exactly what you went there for—awesome and well done, sir. Thanks for sharing this…makes me miss my dad and it makes me happy to see others celebrating time with theirs properly
