That would be me. Tony was letting everyone drive his car, so I was just cruising around in 4th with my leg bent about to give a point by when my knee some how hit the "door open" button, and away the door went. I wasn't going fast enough to make a difference.
A few laps later I stepped it up, and OMG that thing was a rocket ship. I swapped seats with Russell (the BOSS 302 owner) and he decided to show how it's really done. We coudn't get out of it what we though we could, but later found out we still had the traction control on in "sport" setting. If we could have figured out where that button was, Russell probably could have come close to the track record.
That's what you get when you place Mustang drivers in Chebbies.

Steve, I'm glad I didn't run you over.  I know you're a Ford guy and all, but surely you didn't hate it so much that you felt the need to abandon ship mid-track.
Any idea what kind of lap times Russell was turning in it? I've tracked with a lot of Z06s but never a ZR1, and I'm very curious.

Eric and I talked following the last session that Tony's ZR1 ran. The track record is held by another ZR1 that belongs to a member. Eric was watching from the tower with some concern for the speeds that we were obtaining just prior to the agricultural plowing along the front straight. He felt that car would have broken the record if it returned to run more that weekend.

John, thanks for shattering my fantasy about being able to hang with a ZR1 in my Lister. |

I'M glad you didn't run me over. I wasn't abandoning ship, just pouring a Coke out.
No idea what his times were. I was laughing too hard to look over at the speedo. Again, take that traction control off, I bet he could drop a bunch of time off. Russell is one hell of a driver. So is Roy with the blue Mustang. As I posted before, those two are front runners while I run mid-pack. Don't get to dice it up with them.
Racing wheel to wheel really brings you into focus. Take away all the obsticles (other cars), the track looks 100' wide. Give Russell that car and a full weekend at the track, I say he'd give the member with the record a run for his money. Long live CVAR!!!!!

Note to self: Don't buy a race car that has "button" that opens the driver side door!
