Yep, Sean rolled out like a boss. SW posted 202-204 when I saw him run. A couple other fast cars too.

First time out at an event like this- had a great time but wish I was closer- even if it was at the starting line.

Still- I took my girls (4 and7) and they both had a blast. Quote of the day was about the white jag- my 7 yr old said ' why is it racing? It looks normal and slow??' it could have been a 1500 hp car for all we knew- still I thought it was funny.

For the convenience and price I was happy.

Yeah, **** happens. Too much heat. Damage was finally done to the stock C6 driveline. 1st gear is very notchy and 5th barely goes in and now I have overheating issues. All in all, it was a good day. Wished you would have come by and said hi.

Sorry about your tranny Mark but great running. 171 mph! Even better had it been -DA.

Time for an automatic?

Thanks, Larry. No worries. It is summer time so I'll get it fixed up for the fall.

I could honestly never own an automatic car, even though I know they are faster. It is just not for me.
