I'm the electron blue Z, and he is the black C5, we are the head to head in the second to the last video. It was our first time out. He was also in the last video I believe.

My best run was against the white nissan truck, the other 2 were against a white mustang GT, and A Black Subaru.

Sounds like I need to get on her quicker out of the hole.

The 1st is gonna be a blast

Dang. There are some vettes running 15's in that vid and upper 14's. Why would anyone put that in their video. Those are very disappointing times for a vette.

Everyone was running bad that day. It was wet out and just not the right weather for dragracing. But this Saturday will be better, I hope. I think most people were running 3/10ths to 6/10ths higher then usual.

Wow, the difference with the reaction times. It looks like one person was watching the tree and the other was looking for Tick-Tacs under the seat!

The very last race the announcer mentions it's a black Corvette against a silver Z06. I was the black vette. When he mentioned I was like "Z06, what, that's not a Z" and I looked over at it. When I looked over the light turned green. I think those announcers need to learn their cars. It was a C6 but not a Z06. There was a nice blue C6 Z06 for comparison so he should have know what the Z looks like.

Was my fifth run which is usually good just to get three runs in that day so it wasn't a big deal.

yeah, actually Shawn was quite a bit better at timing the lights than I was. Just look at his reaction time in our race, it was like .050 or something like that.

Great vid, but in all honesty they are more exciting to watch when the videographer captures BOTH cars at the finish so you can see the difference. Still a good video and I enjoyed it.
