Track Days At Pocono
Anyone that missed the track days at Pocono on Monday missed at great day. I ran my 06 Z06 stock against Vipers, Ferraris, Lamborghini and Porsche. All the Vipers had to move over and let me go by, even some of the high end Ferraris moved over. My top speed down the front straight was 160mph and 155mph down the back to the tunnel turn. What a great day.

which group did you run in?
honestly I was not happy. I posted in the Race Section my thoughts. The NEPA guys were great just not the other groups. Too many people think they can drive when they could not.

Tuesday was much better. It thinned out to just under 60 cars and we were running 3 groups. I was running a 2006 yellow c6 in the white group. 148 on the front and 153 bouncing off the rev limiter down the back, what a blast. The biggest problem I saw was the lack of point bye from significantly slower cars. They should have been black flagged. Nothing like coming up on a car doing 80 when your pinned to the floor at 140+

Especially since we just added all that extra weight - I am going the wrong way for 1/4 racing....
