Hi Gang,

Here's a small clip from Katech's Track attack. I had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with Andy Pilgrim as he helped me tremendously with Aero and Mechanical Grip on my race car. The knowledge he shared with me regarding setup is priceless. A true gentleman!

Wow, how cool is it to get advice from Andy Pilgrim? Not too shabby.

Being somewhat new to racing I get a lot of help and advice from a vastly more experienced C6 racer/friend of mine. I value the benefit of his experience and expertise (I'll take all the help I can get).

To have Andy Pilgrim drive and critique your car is flat amazing. Good on you!

Short-Throw

It certainly was. Katech bringing out the factory drivers was quite a feat.

I was fortunate to have a couple of guys crewing for me from the shop and they were able to act on Andy's advice immediately making changes at the track-side garage. I also learned the benchmark of the car and wonder if I'll ever get there.

Very cool! So what did he think of your car?

Short-Throw

He loved it which is the ultimate compliment. The fact that it's unrestricted probably had something to do with it.

Very nice Mike......have you beaten his lap time yet? I betcha you do; or at least spend a lot of time trying. The car looks, sounds and runs great. Very nice finished product.
Hope to see you soon. Ron T

Looks good! Did he throw you any gas money?

AU N EGL/NCM cannot afford the kind of money needed to run the Beast. That thing guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow. But... who cares???

Killer vid!!! Practically fell off my chair watching.

Heck, I had 2-55 gallon drums at the track-side garage with his name on it if he needed it.

I've been in plenty of passenger seats both going for joy rides and instructing......that was the fastest I had ever been driven around a track and the least worried!

Those two factors usually aren't negatively correlated.
