Thanks for posting, I am completely envious. I was supposed to run the practice on Friday, went out to my car and couldn't get it to shift into reverse, turns out the clutch slave had broken a seal. That course looks perfect for a corvette as opposed to some miata friendly course.

Very cool, nice run too.

There's no perspective for speed until the sound of kissing the rev limiter. I love it.

Thanks guys. I usually run Hoosiers A6 tires, but this time for practice, I decided to try Kumho Ecsta V700 tires. Not the Victoracers. They worked very good. If I didn't know better, I thought I was on the Hoosiers. The balance was the same and the car seemed just as quick through the corners. I was 3rd fast, about the same time back from the usual top time guys.
