Back From LeMans

Were. baaacck.....Ok this experience was one of those life ones that you will never forget.....we did so much there that that our average evening was ending at around 3 or 4 in the morning.

HIGHLIGHTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. WENT TO LEMANS, WATCHED LIVE FROM DAYTONA, ARNAGE AND MULSANNNE STRAIGHT AND FINALLY WATCHED FROM THE GRANDTSTANDS...BUT BEHIND THE WINNERS PODIUM

2. DID THE "PILOT DE PARADE 24 HURS" THE CAR PARADE AROUND THE CITY OF LEMANS

3. MET DAVID HILL, SPOKE ABOUT T1 SUSPENSION, BRAKES, RACING, C6 AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE NEW GENERATION AND Z06'S IN EUROPE, THE 04 Z06 AND WHAT IS DONE TO INCREASE HANDLING, NEW DAMPERS IN THE 04 Z

4. MET THE RACE CAR DRIVERS, ANDY PILGRIM SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS, SIGNED BEAUTY COVERS ON CAR, MANY PICS, WATCH ANDY PILGRIM.COM IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS FOR SOME NEW SUPSENSION PIECES.


5. DID A "CORVETTE" ONLY LAP AROUND THE RACE TRACK, GOT TO OPEN IT UP AND SHOW OFF TO THE ESTIMATED 250,000 PEOPLE THERE WHAT THE Z06 IS ABOUT, DID A LITTLE BURNOUT IN FRONT OF THE GRANDSTANDS...PASSED OTHER VETTES ON THE RACE TRACK IN FRONT OF THE MANY RACE FANS.

6. GOT 1ST PLACE TROPHY BY THE GM RACING SPONSORED :SHOW AND SHINE CONTEST, WITH SPECIAL GUEST "DAVID HILL".

MANY OTHER THINGS AS WELL...BUT THIS IS THE MOST THRILLING AND MOMENTOUS MOMENT IN MY LIFE...THIS RANKS UP THERE WITH GETTING MARRIED OR HAVING A BABY ETC, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE SOUNDS AND THE PEOPLE THERE, I CAN STILL HERE THE SOUND OF THE C5R'S PASSING BY ON THE RACE TRACK, THOSE FERRARIS'S WERE FASTER THOUGH, BUT WE WILL GET THEM NEXT YEAR.

PIC AND VIDEOS WILL FOLLOW SOON, WILL POST THEM AS SOOAN AS WE GTE THEM LOADED AND EDITTED ON OUR WEB SITE.
