After last test drive, it's so fun, so my friend trying to look for more events such as Cadillac 2006 Drive Summit, and my friend find more test drive events, and I immediately signed up this to make sure we can have more fun, and Revit up
6/6/2006 Sunday 2:30 P.M. Sunny
I waited for my friend who arrived from the San Diego, we drove to the El Toro military Base in Southern California Irvine, which there are about 200 visitor car, and since we arrive earlier so we can test out more vehicles , we have some time before our turn of racing competition. This supposely is the third time Chevy did events like this. I have to pay forty five dollars to register and do the racing thing, but it's worth it if I go early and test out the vehicles. The thing is each time you test drive one vehicle is about 30 seconds, and you will mostly test out the acceleration, emergency stop, and other on road environments. After each time, drive have to get back in line to wait for one more turn.
We arrived around 10:00 A.M. and since we know we are staying all day, so my friend immediately went drive and I start taking some pictures.
The Information center where people pick their tickets for extra activity like Go cart racing & ride along with Professional.
Here is where Competition drive going to be at. Since there are tons of people applied, the runs are scheduled, and we are at 4:00 and 5:00 P.M.
The long line for the test drive, which I was so glad that I didn't sign up in the morning, because we signed up in the afternoon, and not too much people in the afternoon.
Here is the show cars
The garage is used to replace tires, refuel gas, and other stuff, once a while there are a lot cars in there due to all the test drives
Here is the location of "ride with pro" which cost me $10 dollars, but it's pretty cool to see how pro does it in the passenger seat.
Lot people are waiting

Here is me getting scanned in ready for time trial, and I did really shitty
After I did my racing stuff, I tried few more time to test drive Vet
Looking at the weather, which is getting worse

Nasty cloud, since it's about 6 in the afternoon, so we left for dinner.
It's very great event, I will not comment on the car performance since I am not a professional driver and judge of the car. As a event wise, this is very satisfied and exciting event. Please go to Revit up if you need more info.
