We lucked out with beautiful sunny weather, temps ~50F.

When Andrew drove up to the track and parked his Plum Crazy Challenger, all eyes were on it!

We had a great session with about 75 students -- most were HPDE/HSAX interested, a few went to the afternoon classes on W2W and track-day support (corner working, safety, timing/scoring, etc.).

We had a full 1-hour of track time split up with three 8-lap sessions.

The lead pace cars held the speeds to ~50mph, then progressed up to ~60mph. I have to say, this was the first time I'd ever driven a car with a BB stroker (~496 cid?) and its awesome! Easy to kick the rear end out if desired.

Andrew's car was the MOST popular car in the pit area!!! A guy with a newer ~2005 (gen 3 or 4?) blue Viper GTS came over and was amazed by the Challenger's beauty and set-up... hands-down... Andrew's Challenger was more popular than the Viper! And, all the GM/Ford and import drivers were in envy!

I'll get some pics posted...

Driving his Challenger was impressive and we both plan to be on track together later this season.... June 6-7 for a club points HPDE/HSAX and W2W event at BHF (then again on Aug 1-2 also at BHF).

Typical Chicago-area weather... on Monday we had 3-6" of snow fall upon us!
