GWiz and I are doing THIS in Vegas!!!
Despite the Maserati GT that I have for 3 days, and the C7 for the balance of the trip, we are doing THIS!!!
We're going to each get 5 laps per car in 3 different cars. This is what we have reserved. For me:
GWiz gets:
Mom is getting a ride-along in:
I don't even have to buy those 2 go pros for 800 bucks. Only $140 for all 3 drivers, all cars, 2 camera angles per car. If I can spend $1800 on a bottle of Scotch, I can damn well spend some quality track time with my 22 year old daughter who has epic driving skills. |

Just for a frame of reference:
36 Laps in my Z06 cost me $2,000 in Hoosiers We will be getting a total of 34 laps between the 3 of us, and dual camera angle videos with the data overlays for $2,129. AND, we're booked on the 18th which is my mom's actual birthday!!! |

Not a fan of Scotch, but car fun has all of it beat anyway. Be safe and have a great time!

My first gun is on the near-term radar. And in true Craig fashion, I'm sure I go overboard with lots of guns very quickly. I am an OCD zealot. When I latch onto something, it's all or nothing.....hence why I haven't started flying airplanes.

Assuming I don't die, Scott and I would love to have you join us in Florida after the first of the year. He's renting a house on the water again, as he always does. I just don't know his dates. If the 3 of us made a date out of it, I'd have zero problem finishing the bottle.
Then just got to figure out where/how to get the next one. |

I have some 25 YO Highland Park I could bring - unless it’s gone. I saw a bottle of 40 YO Highland Park in the Duty Free store in the Toronto airport last year. I texted a photo to my wife and said I needed it. She replied “So buy it.” At almost $5k CAD I didn’t bring it home. |

Holy shit! Where in Florida? We got to make this happen. The 3 of us can sit on the water's edge at Scott's place, finish the 25 Mac, and if we time it right, do some autocrossing at my venue in some fast cars!!!

Would love to do that!
A few years ago, my accountant suggested that with all the flying I was doing, that I should get my pilot's license and invest in an airplane club. |

I really like Macallan but have never had any that went for that kind of money. I did find a local restaurant that if you are seated by 6:00 their bar prices are half off. I ordered a Macallan (menu did not say what age) but it was $7.00. As soon as the waitress brought it, I ordered another. She laughed and said she would wait until 5:58 to place the order at the bar.
