Snitz, nice video.

Gotta love a MONSTER like your Vette on track with Mazda Miata's. Must have caused a few hairs to stand on end when passing at 140mph.

Congrats Tom on getting some track time in the car....those Miatas must have felt like mice running from a cat

Do you have an in-car camera setup ready to go in yet?

Are you still going to have Bungee jumping off your wing this Spring?
