Spring Mountain + Zr1 = "Badassery"
Didn't even get to push the Zr1 yet and I just feel how nice she is.
Tomorrow is a lot more track time supposed and the 3rd day is all day track.
Real nice facility they have here and plans for a new 3 mile track and they broke ground for a 22 unit hotel with garage below.
Great staff here.
I will load up more pics after I get a bite to eat and take more pics and some vids tomorrow as well.

I don't think too many people will be pushing the Zr1 either. I know I will be on it for sure. Go Pro Camera being loaded up tomorrow and for the 3rd day as proof.

The Winery restaurant is the best in my opinion. Don't miss it!

Went pretty awesome. I look forward to tomorrow.
We were taken on a ride in a car called the radical. This car can corner like crazy. 90 mph turns put us at about 2 to 3 Gs. That ride was 100 percent adrenaline rush.
The guys standing behind the car are the ones for the zr1 class (4 of us, but 1 less tomorrow for the optional 3rd day) and the other guys are the instructors. Everyone of them are cool. The guy in white shirt and shorts is Tony Cousineau. http://www.pokerpages.com/players/pr...-cousineau.htm
Pretty cool guy along with the rest of the guys.
The 3 day corvette class.

Gonna use a different cam tomorrow to record. I brought 3 with me just in case something would go bad and it did. Had a vid while doing a ride with the instructor...was really looking forward to reviewing. Also had vid while taken a ride in the Radical, but problems with the cam so I can't transfer until I get home.

The vid is cool, but doesn't really give you what the ride is about. It's an experience and a half.
Here a few more pics. Gonna upload a vid a little later...maybe two. Most of them had the camera mounted in the car. That was a mistake. The one that came out ok was when I mounted it on the outside, but my freaking batteries ran out about 8 minutes into the 30 minutes session.
Lapped a few cars including the two guys in the other 2 zr1s on the track. Not bragging, but that was fun. Didn't pay attention to the mph in the straightway, b/c I am looking for the best line before the turn comes up. However I was told I passed on of the guys in the zr1 while they were at 121 mph. Who knows...a blast no matter what.
