Default Z06 Drift Ride Along

Got an unexpected chance to visit ExoticsRacing in Las Vegas.

Now that looked like some real fun. And I'm glad I don't have to buy the tires!

Ya. One of the guys there said that they go through two sets of rears per day on that Z06. I asked him what brand they run and he told me any thing they can find at the least amount as prices flux. They had Nittos on while i was there.

With all the slipping and sliding that was the slow way around the course. Probably could have knocked a couple seconds off the lap time by not wasting the rubber sliding the car sideways when it should have been accelerating.

Thats the point. It's all to feel the lateral g's as hard and as long as possible. Not ET's.

I'm a little jealous myself.
