We had a blast. Me, a Mini Cooper, and an 82 vette (and probably 200 others we didn't know). Low 15s, low 16s, and low 17s, respectivley. We're a mile high, so no surprise with my time compared to others. I think with a little practice I could shave .5 sec off, but not much more without working on my car.

Lots of crazy motorheads out there. Some unreal machines; even a jet car was tuning up. He got real attention. Some cars were doing low 9s.
