I went with Craig in his C5 Z06. We only had 3rd gear. The pressure plate let go at the end of the day. He turned a 3:07 using just 3rd gear. The huge rain storm they had the night before and into the morning stopped. The track dried out after a couple of sessions. Turned out to be a great day. A bunch of Tuner cars showed up mostly EVO's. One was real fast from AMS Motorsports. Turned a 2:57. I think Sunday they went even faster. About 6-7 Corvette's showed up Saturday.

You missed another one.

I did, but I was passing corvettes in my miata on R compounds Great time at the track, except for the porsche guy that laid down a strip of oil on the driving line that started at the drop and ended at patience.

I am pretty sure one of the EVOs got below 2:50 on Sunday. They were all sandbagging Saturday.

If half of what I hear about you is true, not a chance. Were you even there Oli? I would have expected Emilio to have said something if you were. If I missed you there, thats a bummer, I have been meaning to meet you. I was seriously considering offering my services when you were headed to Miller and needed a crew.

Yeah, I was only their in spirit and ambition. My car is down right now getting prepped for the run-offs. I would like to meet you, too.
