We are taking the 3 day level one Z06 course and JC has said he will post a blow by blow feature that I will write (with pics) when I return. Now on to heel/toe blipping and VISUALIZING these blessed turns....... Whatta Life! Their tires, Their brakes, Their clutch, in MY model Z06 I drive....

Are you doing the "drive your own" or using their vehicles?

I want to bring my Z there soon!

We are using their cars this time. We specifically signed up for a Z06 course although they have Camaro's mixed in and a special skid car that is an Impala. I didn't know they had any schools where you drive your own except a rent the track option. I will find out and report all of the options when we come back. Look at www.bragg-smith.com

I attended the Level One program in March and it convinced me to switch my Coupe for a Z06. I now plan to do a LOT more track weekends. Have fun!

Day one is over. Lots of gold in the lessons. I have lots to tell on the performance of the Z06 in these conditions and there is a 2002 model here being tested. I will dig for nuggets on it too and report what I find in the article. Good day, great pics, and 350 miles of track time in the next two days to come........

Bragg-Smith is a blast. I took level one ina Camaro SS last year. Then a GM Exec took my wife Grace for a few laps in a QS Z06. She got out and said, "You have to get one of these!" What a women. I am going back in Nov for a special blend of level one and level two. I can't wait. Going to an HPDE event with NASA at Lime Rock in Conn and the Bragg-Smith events are the highlights of my year. Please keep the reports coming and have a great time! You have me all excited about it again! Nov seems so far away!

I was at BG at the end of March with a bunch of guys from Corvetteforum. A first class operation, run by first class guys. Rupert Bragg-Smith is one funny character. One of our fellow students, Al Hall, was nice enough to send his pictures to all of us on CD.

So, Frank, how do we get some of them up? Can I send them to you?

 

[fcalmes]

Lazy,

Send them to me and I will make sure they are posted. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif

OK we are back and have an exclusive Z06vette.com, 8 page feature written with LOTS of good insights, blow by blow accounts, tips, racing truths, and informed speculation on where the Z, anniversary edition, and C6 are going in the future. I am on a weekend junket to Bend, OR and when I get back home I will get the pics in the article and send it to the forum early next week. We are already looking for a date for level 2. It was GREAT!!!
