If anyone's in central NH Saturday - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Wish I had video...

Launch hard through slight kick right, stay matted through not-quite-slalom left.

Pulling hard to big brakes, wide-in for clamshell right.

Nail it and wriggle over the bumps to skim the cone wall, modulate.
Hard right then hard throttle unwinding through the box to big brakes.

Pivot left, entering just wide enough to threaten it with rear wheel.

Hard throttle drifting rear to the right (saving the pivot cone) thread between two clamshells tracking just a little outside the gap between their outside cone walls, lift and launch, a tight exit aligns the uphill slalom into a straight with manic wiggles.

Threaten outside cone wall to wide arc 180 right, wait for it, exit WOT downhill, take distance out big brake then nail directly through left kick, modulate, watch that pinched exit cone and nail throttle as soon as car is almost settled. 26.140 seconds, good for 9th on the day. Bwahooo!

The Course (2nd line from yesterday too)

I just have too much fun in that little parking lot. Had a great day, my wife didn't do quite as well but not badly at all considering how differently this car works than her L98/Z51. Of course, after her first run she was firmly hating the car, then she got closer to my time and inclined, "Maybe I hate it a little less". By the end of the day she was admitting "horsepower doesn't s*ck!".

I have to clean that car up sometime, and even though I intentionally waited to put in the stiffer springs (bumpy site!) the proof is there I need more spring rate!

Cheers,
- Jeff
