Default Track Day at Lime Rock

Finally got my Z on the road course. This is what these cars are made for. On the track in competitive driving mode the car was awsome. The F1's worked great. Got 125mph down the main straight which is quite short. Lighting up the tires coming over the uphill at 85mph was a rush. My last track day was with my Audi TT which was a lot easier to drive but the Z06 is much more thrilling and brutal.
No clutch problems (thanks Ranger) and no over heating.
Pulled down a Ferrari 3.6 on the main straight ,guess he thought he could outrun a Z06.
If you get a chance do a track day to see what kind of nerve you have.
Did mine with the SCDA www.scda1.com
