Proving one thing, it was the driver not the car.

The track itself really wasn't too bad, the problem was the shear number of cars trying to run (there were a ton) and the continual car breakdowns spraying oil, coolant or parts on to the track shutting it down for 20 minutes or longer at a time. Very frustrating.

Congrats Hans. I was able to watch you reel in that C6 as I was going back to the pit area driving down the return chute. My first and only real run was up against a C5Z, and although both of us had to back off mid track with spinning tires, he was still pretty impressed with the way I was able to pull away from him in the second half of the run. I explained to him that the ZR-1 power curve is like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going and...


BTW,

great thanks to the members from Sunburst Corvettes. All really nice people and great fun to be with. Really appreciate them welcoming us as part of their group. In fact they also had another Corvette club join up at the track
