Looks like more of a track day as there were other makes out there. Really didn't see any racing.

That said kudos to Adams for supporting any type of event that involves a road course!

The NASA "Challenge" events are timed hot laps during an open session at one of their track days. Not WTW, but more like a "time attack" for a single marque.

Yes kudo's for Adams....

So what kind of lap times are they running? Personally I dig those cars, but have a feeling the laps times are not all that impressive considering they make tons of power. Just as a guage, I am pretty sure I still hold the american iron lap record at cal speedway from several years ago. It was a 1:49 and that was with a '92 mustang making about 320rwhp with bolt on modifications in terms of suspension, etc. so it was nothing exotic. Not to mention the spec tire was 275 toyo.

Odd blanket statement to make in a Corvette forum.

Google John Heinrichy, and CTS-V at Nurbergring. Not many cars are faster, besides the Corvette.

Yeah, next time on the track I'll make sure to point the Heinrichy driven CTS-V by..
