Default HPDE @ VIR Today ....(Pics)

Spent the day at VIR today and had a ball. Even got a little "parade" track time. I'm getting real use to this "retirement" gig....

It's obvious just from looking at the pics that the C5's are faster.

Looks like it was a fantastic day with a good adrenalin rush.

All those C6 pics just confirm again for me that the C6 stylists missed the boat "improving" the C5. fail.....almost epic

wow...just watched the video....amazing....you are a serious driver! Thanks SO much for sharing.

Fantastic vid at VIR. Looked like your top speed was 155, correct? What kind of exhaust do you have on that?

I had the chance to watch NCM @ VIR a few years ago. Even if you can't run, it's a great experience just to watch all those Corvettes.

That was the year you could see the new ZR-1 before most saw it in the showroom. Great times.
