There was a dead red S4 FC in Kentwood today in the median of the road across from Kentwood High School. The drivers side door area was all beat up had some nice 5 spoke wheels and a wood shift ****. It had a vanity plate but I can't remember it (like 5 letters and 2 numbers). If anyone knows whose car this is let me know I would be willing to help them get it working.

I finally installed the new BMC in my FC yesterday. My brakes are still a little mushy and weak, but they're better than they were the last time I drove it. I was going to try bleeding them again today, and drive it around the block a little more to get everything moving around, but we got about 3" of snow overnight and it's still coming down .

Any of you guys in South East Michigan that have an FC willing to take me for a ride? Maybe let me get behind the steering wheel for a bit, not necessary though? I am looking to buy an FC but want to get some in car time before I pull the trigger.

Thanks
Zack

Show up at the auto-x listed in the MI auto-x thread, and you'll prob get the chance to ride along in an FC or 2, depending on who's there.

Really? I asked on a different forum if I can ride passenger at an open track day, and it was a strict NO.

Autocross allows passengers, but I think most "track days" do not allow them.

Most track days do not allow beginners or novice to have passengers. But intermediate or advanced "usually" allow passengers. It al depends on the group you chose to run with at it it their track day = their rules.

(I have been an instructor with many groups in the Midwest (Grattan, Mid-O, Waterford, Gingerman, Beaverun,......) in the last 13+ years and have a NASA comp license)

The Corvette club is hosting an Auto-x in the Detroit area at their usual venue, the Cadillac assembly plant near Hamtramck (Poletown) on April 17th. I'm definitely planning to be at this one!:
http://myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmE...event_id=12303

Apparently its the same day as the waterford opener, but due to the lack of funds & roll bar in the 'vert, track days are not in my immediate future.

You can definitely ride along on an auto-x, and as DropSpeed said, most tracks allow you to ride along on a track day if you're in the car with an intermediate or advanced driver. Generally you need to bring your own SA rated helmet to the track day though, and sometimes a HANS device, whereas auto-x has loaner helmets if you need to borrow one.

Low mile cars are cool. I had two GSL-SEs purchased with under 30k miles. Very fun and a joy to drive a tight car!

And yep, I work right at 6 and Haggerty. I'm in the office building behind Fleming's steakhouse. Cut thru the Scraft parking lot on a regular basis!
