Got to be one of the most beautiful runs I've ever done at VIR. Sky was beautiful temperature was wonderful and car ran well. Almost distracting to drive with how nice the sky was. Ran with my Camaro SS 1LE on November 18th.

Last hour of the race. Towards the end I was running out of fuel. Thank God for the scavenge tank in the bottom because the tank was empty when we came in. Good learning experience on how much fuel we used. Also thank God we won another 2nd place trophy even with us running out of fuel.

    I’m very confused about something. I watched a 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE on that exact same course and his top speeds were pretty much exactly what yours were with all that extra power!? How? Do you have mods? Or is it just an aero/drag thing? Edit; I just read your mod list that explains it. Very nice car btw!! I have a 2022 Camaro ZL1 that I would love to get on track!! I’m just paranoid about an accident since my insurance wouldn’t be any good. I’m pretty confident in my driving skills. I’ve been driving something since I was eight years old. I’m just worried about someone else blowing an engine, and oiling the track things like that.

      Certainly, I ran Hawk DTC70's on the front and 60's on the back, if I recall correctly. They're not my favorite pads I wasn't comfortable in compressing the brake zones with them further than what I had. My choice bad is the Raybestos ST47 pad. I will be back in Daytona this coming October with those pads, they've been difficult to acquire but I have them currently on the car with some spares so they should hold out until then. The Hawk's also wear out quite quickly (few days) and the Raybestos last for several events.

    The GT2 is fast, but that driver isn't. He's only there for the oval, not the R-part. Their lines in the infield didn't capitalize on the potential exit speeds they could have had, and the braking power was clearly pretty weak as well. You, on the other hand, were quite consistent and your car sounds great.

      It’s a SS 1LE and at this time it had a heads and cam package from Katech in it, since then though the car dropped a valve and I had to replace the motor. However I kept the American Racing long tube headers with high flow cats on it. Always has had the stock mufflers on it. Wheels here are OE wheels, and tires are the GY SC3. Pads here were Hawks but I prefer the Raybestos ST47 as they’re more consistent and last longer.

      The best place to go to would be www.motorsportsreg.com and look for different events at various tracks. I see in one comment you said you live in the Daytona area. The Audi Club (who I've run with) held this event and typically do one event a year at Daytona. Chin Track Days was supposed to have an event later this month but it got cancelled. SCCA typically does a Track Night in America and it's a good time, I've seen Daytona on their schedule. However I recommend the website I referenced at first, Daytona is not a difficult track to drive but a simple mistake could be costly and having a seasoned instructor in the car with you would be beneficial.
