Forgot my video camera, < bummer > But my buddy
did manage to catch the action. I instructed in
another Phoeniz Prepared Z06, and I tell you that is
my next track car. Well sorted out and VERY well behaved.

For those of you unfamiliar with open-tracking, I overcooked the
track-out on turn #1 at Gingerman, and kicked the cone into the
center of the racetrack, turning the turn into a auto-cross. < grin >
I was so damned excited to get by the Z06 I forgot where I was.

Hey Cliff,
The C5 Z0-6 was a good car but the C6 Z0-6 is absolutely unbelievable. GM has done an amazing job with this car. Can't beat this combination of 3146lbs, 500hp and 427 small block at an amazing 65K.

Cliff, I know you wanted to talk to me... shoot me an e-mail with what you want to do, and I'll work some stuff up for you.

 

Hi Cliff,
Long time no talk. You are an instructor now also? I was moved up to instructor in Jan. I have only had green and blue students and only one of them is any good at all! At least all my students are Vette drivers. If you remember I traded the L for a 05 Z51 6 speed. All I do at the track is change brake fluid, pads and run scuffs. The Vette is much less expensive to go fast in. In the L I was faster than most and it is special to outrun sportscars in a truck but in the Vette only a two or three of the best instructors are faster than I and I don't have to drive as hard as I did in the L. I am starting to wonder about going this fast without a cage and Hans device? I have a harness bar and harness but I'm starting to think about a track car because of the speeds I'm going these days!!

Oh man Cliff but those pics bring back some memories. I use to driver's school my 1991 Camaro Z281LE. Drove it at both Road Atlanta and at Roebling Road(track near Savanah, GA) back in the early 90s. 6-point roll-cage, Recaro Seat, 5-point harness, window net, no A/C, etc. etc.
