Default Cadillac "The Lab" Performance day @ PBIR

I went, with a group of friends and family,..and we all had a blast. So much fun to flog someone elses $74,000 car around PBIR for a few laps,...for free. I gotta say, they put on a really good event, they had breakfast(since I was the early Sat morning crew). It was actually very good. They had several Cadillac CTS-V's on display, incuding several new colors, including a FLAT SILVER,...as well as a special edition BADASS blue. All have different brake caliper colored options. Very stoked to see the American car company coming out with more badass ****. We drove the ATS V6 as well. Very sweet car. I drag raced my cousin twice,...beat that bitch twice. It was great. Only raced about 330 maybe,..maybe even an 8th, I dunno, it was backwards from the end of the race track. Regardless, the car was great also in the slalom. Unbelievable how well it handles. Still, big fan of the CTS-V's. Those of you that own them,...congrats,..very badass car. I've driven probably 100 of them but,..never gets old. One of the best cars ever built.

I also met Andy Pilgrim,..Pro driver for the CTS-VR. Very cool people, probably the coolest, most laid back driver I have met, ever. I am having some issues uploading the pics but, here is the vid I took.


Both vids...the driving starts about 1 minute in.

We all had an absolute blast, even though we all had an instructor with us,..pretty much telling us what to do,...atleast they we're cool.

Highly recommend that you guys that own one, drive them on or at a track.

Thanks,

Nope,..just plan ol, plain jane driving. Nothing special. Like I said,..we had someone in the car telling us what to do....TCS could not be turned off...if so, you'd get the boot. I had fun, thats all that mattered.
