Thanks.

That Mustang was a handful! It was a blast watching it sliding all over the track and trying to keep up.

That is one hell of a beautiful Daytona you've got--you should be very proud, and you drive it very well. As I made my way around the track today it never escaped me for a minute that my generic Corvette was circulating amongst a whole bunch of much-loved, very special cars. I know the feeling, as I track my Lister sometimes and the fear of hurting it is always in the back of my mind. If the worst happened and I destroyed my 'Vette, I could find a half-dozen replacements on the Internet in short order; the same is not true for a replica which invariably has a good deal of the owner's DNA in it.

As for my driving, I have the benefit of 30 years of suspension/brake technology, along with R-compound tires, all of which were needed today. I was impressed with how well everyone handled themselves, especially considering you guys were in a bunch of short-wheelbase, high-horsepower, street-tire-equipped cars on an unfamiliar, very technical track. That should be a recipe for disaster but there were very few incidents of any kind, a testament to the folks involved. I hope this track day becomes a TCC installment and that a lot more partake next year; like a good bottle of wine (or bourbon), track days are best when shared with friends.

Cheers to all and I hope you folks have a great weekend.

Bob,

It was great seeing you at the track event. Hey Vettes are cool too plus the Mustang's needed something to play with. How about another Cobra in future....take care and don't be a stanger on the site.....
