We also did not want people practicing toe/heel on the track as it can go all wrong quickly so better for people to practice on there own time ... I found with having put 3000 miles on the Z on our trip that I can toe/heel in any shoe ... It takes practice plain and simple . Its all about foot placement in a ZR-1 or a C4 .

Hey Mike—The racing seminar that you and Mark put on was great. I brought my friend and former business school classmate Mike Stimpert up from Atlanta for a couple days of the gathering and he said that he learned agreat deal about how to drive a car from your talk. He is not a car guy and everyone he talked to said, essentially, that he was a brave lad to have come up to hang out with a bunch of fanatic gear heads. But he enjoyed the people and the gathering, especiallythe plant tour and your talk. Also liked watching the go karts and the (rather damp) track time. Had a couple of great dinners, including the one at the Oasis sitting with Ted Feder and a C4 participant whom I think we talked into getting a ZR-1.


I used the Gathering as a jumping off point for a road trip to visit old friends and business school classmates, and just returned yesterday. Went down to Atlanta to Mike’s for a couple days, then my brother flew in from New York for a couple of days in Seabrook Island SC. Then on to Sunset beach to visit another old business school classmate (hadn’t seen him in 40 years!) and his wife, then on to a friend in Lake Wylie SC with a stop for lunch with a friend from the Stingray forums with a Z06 exactly like mine. Then on through Asheville, NC to visit friends, then home. Total miles: about 2,500. On our way to Atlanta we discovered the George Dickel distillery and after an interesting tour bought some mighty fine Barrel Select Tennessee sipping whiskey, only a small portion of which actually made it home with me. Not photo documented like Jim and Lyndi’s trips but fun nonetheless. I look forward to next year.--Bob
