Nice footage.

In the 2nd link, you got me getting by you on the front straight at about 9 min 40 sec (black Z06 following the yellow Z06), and then a lap later catching up to me after I went off in Turn 5!

I was wondering where you went...you were behind me and then a moment later disapeared into thin air!!! The track was RIDICULOUSLY slippery from all the mud and dirt that was on the north course from the previous week's spectator event. I was slippin and sliding all over the place. It took at least 3-4 sessions before the track cleared up and got into any decent shape, then the rain came and turned everything into mud pie. My car looked like I went off roading in the woods than driving on a road course.

It was a good day overall as the rain cleared in the afternoon and we did get something like 7 or 8 sessions. BTW, you were doing pretty good in that black Z.

Slippery isn't the word....I came into the turn at nowhere near a crazy speed and turned the wheel. The car kept going straight, I put more power on trying to bring the rear around and the car kept going straight. I was pretty surprised. So off we went for about 40 yards, I think i even got a little air going over a gravel path.

Once the pressure is off by letting you by Matt, I enjoy staying in your wake to see if I can keep up and to compare lines. Watching that Z go around corners with your setup is pretty cool.
