Corvette Racing/Pirate Racing DVD AVAILABLE! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

vandornjim · 05-26-2009

Hey Gang,
Iâ€™ve got some fun stuff here for you.
Some of you who attended The Gathering this year know that I was asked to do a seminar on Pirate Racing. Now you know how most seminars are, so I decided to do some video stuff to compliment the narrative. Those who attended the hour long video came up to me and asked for copies etc so I came back here and did the voiceover from the presentation and added a few other extras. This 65 minute video contains edited clips from the Corvette Challenge days including crashes and roll-overs, it them shows never before seen pictures from Rippieâ€™s LeMans adventure in 1995.
It also covers our presentation to Chevrolet which turned into the current c5r-c6r programs. Finally, it tells the story of how Pirate Racing began, the Lime Rock burn-down, and the rebuild. This is a heartwarming story of a group of enthusiasts who began by chatting on the internet and ended up on the podiums of the World Challenge GT Championship.
The Pirates also pioneered the C5 and through their cooperation with GM Powertrain, were able to assist in the introduction of the 2001 Z06 Corvette.
Finally, after a season of encounters by a certain black Porsche, including being hit from behind while in the lead (Vancouver), the Pirates had a chance to get even. At the season finale at Laguna Seca, the Porsche had the pole but the Pirates were right next door. See the exciting end of the season at what one Speedvision spokesman said was the best season in GT history.
This DVD is in NTSC format but I can re-format to PAL for our overseas friends.
Iâ€™m asking only for donations for the DVD. My cost on the disk, case, shipper, and US shipping will be around $6-$7.
(My 100 hours of editing gets donated to the cause). If you care to donate anything additional, it is your choice and much appreciated. (Proceeds benefit a local BG charity-Humane Society.)
Payment is best if made to PayPal as I get complete shipping info, address, etc all in one neat package. If you need other arrangements, just email me direct and weâ€™ll work it out.
My PayPal account is: vandornjim@aol.com
Just click send money of if you prefer, I can send you an invoice.
I hope youâ€™ll enjoy this presentation from the good â€˜ol exciting days of ZR-1 racing. I know I had a heck of a trip down memory lane doing it.

Just a quick thanks to all of you who have already ordered their copy of the new DVD. There's 77 of you already on the list and most of you were quite gracious with your donations. This will also help offset the costs of additional copies being sent to those less fortunate in these economic times.
We will be sending these out asap, in the next day or two actually, so if you're interested, let us know asap.
Again, much thanks you folks are the best!
