casaleenie,

I did have more fun at DVSFIII, but the Z06 Fest was still fun. They are performance car nuts lot like us. Some leave their cars alone, but most Z06 owners can't stand to leave their cars stock, so it's rare to see a Z06 that hasn't been tweaked one way or another. A day at the drag strip showed most cars run in the low 13's to high 12's. One with extensive engine mods and slicks ran 11.65 @ 120 mph. Not bad in anyone's book.

Talk about burnouts, the motel parking lot was coated solid with fresh rubber by the end of the week.

Al, how's this for irresponsible? A his-and-her couple returning to their motel from auto-Xing pulled over in front of a van at about 120 mph when three lanes blended to two. The van was full of Kentucky Highway patrol officers! After being followed to their motel and blocked in by these patrolmen until three patrol cars arrived, a fellow Z06 owner, who also happened to be a patrol officer, stepped in and did a lot of talking to keep this couple from being hauled off to the slammer and their cars from being confiscated. They were cited for reckless driving instead.
