Default Royal Purple video. Friday night racing.

Is anybody else on here in the vid. My car is freeze framed at the start and again in about 8-9 seconds into the vid. No doubt it's my car as the rear wheels are the 17" GTO wheels that I use when racing.

Thanks to my buddy on one of the G8 boards Steve GT who told me about it. I remember the night they were filming it, it was announced several times, but I really didn't pay attention.

Another good reason to wash, wax, and clean up the car before going out, you never know when a camera is around.

Bill, it almost looks like my car, but I've never run Jim. I thought it has those ugly c6 split wheels that I run in the video. It is very hard to tell though not enough time in the video.

The black vette that you can see clearly is Christians car. I sent it to him.

I think the few times we raced, we were always the first race or two of the night.

Hey Jim
Congrats on being in the video! Man, I have'nt talked to you in a while. Good to see you modded the GXP a lil bit. Looks like good times in your sig. I really need to get over that way on a Friday night soon if we get some more good cool nights. Would love to see you make a few runs. Way to go

I still have the Z06, but have not been down the track since you and I both ran when you still had the 09 Vette. I might be outa practice

Hey, welcome back ole buddy. Haven't heard from you in ages.

You remember all I went through with my GTO, so here's my GXP story.
