Default [PICS!] Katech Track Attack 2008. Thanks to Pratt&MIller, Pfadt, Corsa & Jim Hall

For those that don't frequent the C6 Z06 section here are a few pics from the Katech Track Attack Weekend. Hopefully many here can make next years event.

Ron Fellows and Andy Pilgrim were on hand for champ rides and instruction. Andy drove the Beast and provided invaluable suspension setup help to me.


Jason drove the 1008HP Katech Car on the track as well.






























There are 100s of pictures in the original thread and more coming along with video.

It is indeed! Very cool to drive! Just sitting in it feels like 100MPH+

Everett was quite kind letting everyone check it out.

There'll be a lot more of those pics loaded in the original thread soon.

very nice. Love that car. Be cool to throw a worked LS7 in there although the car is sick fast already being what 1000 lbs less than a corvette

I also like that the owner didnt mind you being around it. I see some exotic guys that get mad if you are 10feet by their car

The car being lighter does help attain nice speed but what is more impressive is the cornering and braking...just wait for the "1 Markers!"

Everett opened the rear lid to show everyone the engine and couldn't have been more accommodating. Great guy and complete car nut.

And Stano – next year you really need to make it out for this event! A more formal transport setup from the left coast would be great, probably we could get a bunch of cars from out this way.
