Glad you're (and everyone else) unhurt!

So happy that you are ok. I love reading your posts about the ZR1. If I were in charge of GM I would give you a brand new one for free.

Thank God and Chevrolet the frame did its job, and you did what you could and most importantly, that you are OK.

I really enjoy your insights and PDR posts which drive the trolls and theory experts crazy. Good on you Sean and I hope you can share what makes it a learn-able experience car wise, track wise and other traffic wise once the dust clears and you have more answers than questions.

Kevin

In the end, I've really enjoyed sharing what I've learned about the C7 and figure I will take it to the next level. You can get an idea of what I'm thinking here:

Oh, I see you're already in the planning stages of your next ride. Good luck!

Glad you are ok. Looks like stock safety systems held up well. Were you wearing a Simpson hybrid? I’m starting to worry that I’m getting faster on the track and need to consider upgrading to a track only car with a cage and halo seat.

Sorry to hear, but glad you’re ok. I’m in the process of relocating to Virginia and have a ZR1 on order. Am looking forward to some track time in the area with you.

Good news is, you’ve got all winter to put your plans together for the next car.

Very sorry to hear. Glad you are ok. Will look forward to your details, I thought you ran on Pirelli slicks?

Best Regards,
Dave

When I saw the above post, something inside me said, "Oh no, it couldn't be." Then I saw your response to the question about knowing who it was and said, "Crap!" Glad you're okay. Sorry about the car. I do look forward to what you have in mind for a replacement.
