Default Full 25-Hour Writeup and Pictures

I've got the full story - including a bunch of pictures - up on the website now.

Thanks again to the Pfadt Corvette Domination team for their help without hesitation when we needed it.

Aaron, Jeremy, Danny, Dean, and Norm - it was awesome to meet you guys and I look forward to seeing you on track (and getting the hell outta the way!) again soon!

Through turn 8 around 110mph with collapsed left-rear suspension:

Great write up. Your car sounded quite awesome blasting down the sraightaway between turns 15 and 1. Any idea what your top speed was? We were running a Spec Miata (#2)and hit about 115

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the writeup! The car really does have a unique, cool sound, and it sounds a lot different from inside than outside. Hard to say on speed since I'm a bit unfamiliar with the gear ratios... But, I would guess on a really hot lap in the 145-150 range headed in to turn 1.

Looks like you guys had a great result - 9th in class and 38th overall - congrats!!

I get about 130 in my Z so 150 is reasonable.

Well thanks for the congrats but..... we were leading class by 4 laps when the throttle body shaft broke and then we werw down by 4 laps. We went to 5th in class and then 45 minutes from the checker we got up to second place and the engine blew..... We'll be back next year!!
