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. -Daniel |

Re: Pirate Racing ZR-1 in action
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 !

Re: Pirate Racing ZR-1 in action
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.  'Crabs

Re: Pirate Racing ZR-1 in action
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?
