Hey- Wanted to post up with some links from the Lindsay Cadillac Summit Point Track day this past Friday. A buddy of mine (Ross with the GP GTX) owns a CTS-V, and due to a last-minute cancellation, they were nice enough to allow me in with my Goat.
We were on the Shenandoah circuit (with the banked Nurenburgring-copy Karussel turn :evil: )- Started off raining, learned more about the car than any other time I've ever driven it. After lunch, it dried out, and the track got FAST. I really got to see what the stock GTO can do- Then I promptly fried the brakes (brake fade at 110MPH = :eek: ), and turned the stock Potenzas to slippery mush. I did a little "off-roading" once on the back straight, but that's the only "off-track" I got. There were a few other incidents, but no one was hurt. Can't say the same for two CTS-Vs :cry: ...

Tried my best to represent!
Trevor- Any of the shots of me and/or Ross come out okay? Post 'em up!
