Lee,

Very cool! I've been going through old races from the early 90's looking for footage on the Dieline team. I've run across some great C4 stuff in the process.

amazing to see what the car could do when you consider the fact that the C5.r had a $10,000 brake kit and the zr-1 had some member donated brembos

I was there at Lime Rock for this race.
It was like watching my son get injured and pulled from a football game.
But the car rose up from the ashes to compete another day !

I'm absolutely positive that the 'ol Captn' JVD himself is blushing from all this attention.
I would give my right nut to have been part of his team during those "Glory Days".
Can you imagine what it was like to "Thrash and Crash" a prototype ZR1 and be competitive with the big guys?
It must have been a heaven on earth.
Of course, I was busy raising two sons and a career, much too busy to go chasing windmills.
Sure would be been cool to have been part of the fun though.

This car would be eligible for historic/vintage racing. I'd love to see her back on track with the cars she terrorized and not mothballed in the NCM. Where's that 'ol Pirate at? :)

This is the Beagle. What's his name is making Margaritas but he sez you can see something very fun on the website. Just look for the button near the bottom that sez

PIRATES WILL PLAY
