Default TStar 'da MAN!

TStar was at BeaveRun today to take part in a Flat Out Day - driving on a closed road course with an instructor.
Lemme' tell you - he was cookin'!
Biggest problem he had? Perma-grin!
He has experienced what the car was made for - he'll be back for more, for sure!
Great job, buddy - your beautiful car was making you look great (well, except when that red Ferrari blew by you! ).

Hey he only flew by me on the straights!!! I was sniffing his pipes on the twisties... Of course he wasn't that experienced.

It was a pleasure meeting you Brian and I'm soooooo glad you didn't Black Flag me! Especailly when I passed the Jag at the end of the front straight!

When Eric was driving me around on my Third session, I didn't have permagrin... that was TERROR! Man can he drive! I had NO idea my Vette could go that fast in turns...

I need Coilovers and either harnesses or race seats!!!!!

I can't wait to get back to Beaver Run! Great facility and staff for sure!!!!!!

Anytime you want to get away Brian, just head East, you've got an open invitation!!!

Hey how did my car sound anyway???? I've never heard it...

You should have cut class and stood out there with me on the stand to hear it while your instructor drifted through turn 2!

No... no pics this time, sorry guys. I went by myself and was a bit too busy to take any myself!

If I would have had a brain I could've asked MyOwn69 to take my camera and snap a few, although he was running the Flags...

It wasn't only turn 2! I'm pretty sure we were on two wheels on 4 and 5 and we were seriously drifting 10!!!!!
