Here are a few pictures of my weekend at Le Mans. GM sponsors a Corvette Corral for owners and it was a blast. We were in the drivers parade on Friday, took 3 laps on the track Saturday morning before the race, and had a private viewing area right next to the track for the race. I love my C6Z, but man I can't wait to get a C7Z here in Europe.
Arriving at the Corvette Corral.
She cleans up nice after a 700 mile trip.
Heading to the Drivers parade.
Giving Johnny O'Connell some racing tips Actually I have the Pfadt JOC suspension, so we were talking about that.
Fuel rail cover autograph complete.
Ready for the parade.
Fine I will do a rolling burnout. Its for the kids really.
Ready for the track time. They didn't let us off the chain, but 120 mph was better than nothing.
C7R - What an awesome car and unique sound. There were tons of F and P cars and about half of the F cars were "retired" half way through the race. We only had 2 cars and pulled a #2 and #4 position even with the BS number lighting that put us a lap behind. It was funny to see all of the P&F fans with their shirts touting the number of wins. Brute force, if it is not working, your not using enough. With that many cars in field your bound to land one on the podium.
That's awesome, Adam!
I attended last years race, this year I couldn't make it unfortunately. I'll try to be there next year and join the parade.
Congrats on your beautiful Vette and thank you for sharing the pics!!!
Seeing those tiny air inlet restrictors makes me think that someone like Smokey Yunick could invent a way to get a bit more air into the intake by another route that scrutineering would never catch. Just sayin'.

Adam, awesome, thanks for the photos. What a thrill it had to be to drive on the track the actual day of the race. Your Z06 looks great.
Very cool.
Cheers,
Thanks for posting those pics.........I want to see everything in person my self !!! Your pictures of the air restrictors show how sophisticated even that engine management portion. is.
I highly recommend the race. If anyone is interested in attending next year (as part of the Corvette corral) PM me and I can get you in touch with the organizer to be notified once planning starts next year. You can attend with or without your vette, but your vette gets you a discount and the more vettes the better The Corvette fan base is growing in Europe for sure and even those that are not fans, know to respect it.
