Default 2 Laps from Corvette Track days at Spring Mountain!!

I haven't posted a fresh video lately, so here's a short one from my weekend at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, IT WAS A BLAST!!!

I attended their Corvette track days event, and stayed on the premises. The whole crew and site are amazing!!!

As many of us that have been at this for a while can attest to, things do always go just right when you heavily modify your car, then go drive it hard...

I simply want to say, this was NOT, I repeat NOT one of those type of track days!! Some recent work, and 18 years of constant tweaking, came together very nicely this weekend, I really had a blast, and was just able to go out and drive the car!!

I shot a bunch of video, and will have some up soon...

OK, here's a short video, taking it just a bit easy on the turns, few drops of rain on the track...

Lame - why would Spring Mountain block it? Do they own any video you take?

Thanks for taking the time and video. It's nice to use their cars but better when we can run our own.

You're very welcome, it does take a bit of time and effort to put together and edit the vids, but I really do enjoy sharing them with folks who enjoy seeing them!!

Yes, I was very happy with the way the car ran, not always the case. I would like to beat on one of their cars one day...

I did the new C7 owners two-day program sponsored and subsidized by Corvette last April. My first Corvette. What a blast. Your video looks really great. It will be a wile before I can drive that well.
