Four Vipers
I got to play at the track last Monday... I rarely see Vipers there, and low and behold I stage up behind 4 of them in the advanced group session. Here's a long but fun video... enjoy!

P.S. A Black C6 Z06 makes a brief appearance about 2/3's the way through the video.

What a great run!!! You reeled those cars in one after another. I enjoyed seeing each 'conquest' relegated to your rear veiw mirror. I've never raced or tracked a car, but your driving looked really smooth to me. Well done.

Ya finally got the wave-by from the blue Viper! Cool video and great driving. Looks like a yellow vette has hanging with you for awhile... saw him in your rear-view every time you took a turn.

That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
Having never done anything close to that in any car I've owned, I'm totally pumped & hope to have a chance at the track sometime in the future. I must say I'm pretty impressed with how the Z handles and how it reeled all those cars in. It looked like most were simply "in the way"... No insult intended towards the other drivers of course, they're at least out there having a go at it! Damn, didn't realize the Z was such a competitor... Shows I have a lot to learn!!!
Great vid, really enjoyed it
