Cool, cool. I'll keep an eye out. If you see a CE Z06 and a guy with a stupid grin on his face behind the wheel, it's most likely me. I'll be glad to "do the wave".

Congratulations on the car. I can't wait to park the two Z16's side by side at an event down there soon.
Thanks for the "heads up" and info! I have relatives in Fredericksburg, so maybe I'll see you up there. I love that area, but hate the traffic... Do you go to the Sumerduck track at all?

I haven't been to the "Duck" for years. I'm really just getting into drag racing the Z16. I prefer quarter mile to eighth, the eighth just seems to go by to quickly. A group of us raced at Richmond Dragway last Saturday night, check out the pics in the Southeast Section. I am down your way fairly often, in fact I am one of the organizers of the Go Kart racing we are putting together for Sept. 15 in Portsmouth. If you are free come and join us, this will be our second time racing the karts. We had a blast the first time. Here is a link to the post with the most current information.
