C4 Video Links - and a Totaled Porsche Boxster
Just thought I would share some of my videos shot out at High Plains Raceway (2.5 mile track near Byers, CO) in my '91 Z07. Car currently has the following mods: Wilwood GN3 calipers, Poly rear end rebuild, LT4 HotCam, MiniRam manifold, removed catalytics, Magnaflow catback exhaust. I am running NT05's 275's all the way around.
1. A couple of good laps around the full course without any traffic:

2. Me chasing down a Porsche GT3 on the same day:

3. A video of a few laps of the North Course - a shorter configuration of 1.83 miles vs. 2.5 miles.

4. A video piece from the same day running the North Course that is inside my friend Josh's Porsche Boxster S while I am the passenger. This is where he rolls the car coming out of turn 4 on the North Course. Wait for the pictures at the end of the video which show you how much damage was done looking at the outside of the car. See the comments for more details.

The cabin held up OK.
I am glad you guys are not hurt.

This was a new car to him and he had just ridden in my car for about 8 laps which takes the corners about 5 mph faster. He was also coming from a Subaru to a Porsche - pretty huge difference from AWD to RWD on how to handle something like this - I used to track an Audi S4 before I bought the Vette, so I know what that transition is like Fortunately, I had owned more Camaros and Firebirds than I could count, but I think this may have been his first RWD car.
Needless to say, one of my projects for this winter is a rollbar in the Vette - which was already on the books even before the accident due to the fact that my next engine mod will take my max speed on this course up over 135.
Yes, we did land right-side up. We think we rolled 2 times. The woman behind us said we caught about 4 feet of air on the first rotation but couldn't see after that because of all the dirt thrown up, and I was spitting dirt out for the next few hours
