Nice pictures.
I was wondering, do you always tie the car down through your rims? I have never done that before I always catch the control arms.

It's a blast isn't it ?
No red lights, not cops, no idiots talking on cell phones while reading, putting on makeup, and eating. (yes, I've seen all 3 by one person simultaneously).
The Z is truly an amazing car and everyone who owns one needs to get out and try this at least once.

Welcome to the world of tracking your car!!!! The door is opening to more fun then you can have and it is legal.

Makes street racing look like child's play, does it??? . And from you description you had a much better experience.

Try Auto crossing a few more times, the experience gives you great car control.

Then take the next step in the journey, High Speed Driver's Education or DE's. You will find 95mph to be slow. With one of the tracks here in my area hitting 145 mph at the end of the straight before making your turn is common for a Z06.

It is always great when someone here on this forum takes the first step to learning what the Z06 can do. I like to see people enthused about taking it to the track rather then waxing it for Hooters.

Hey dvandentop- I know some of the guys and cars in those pictures. The silver and purple C5 is Mr. Setness-I ran with him in Arnold NE for the SORC race. Great guy. Maybe I will see you at MAM this summer.
