Default Opportunity for 2009 ZR1 Owner Accessible to Maryland

Any 2009 ZR1 owners out there eager to figure out the car at the drag strip?

If so, and you are within driving distance to Maryland, I’m offering to spend a day at Maryland International Raceway with you. I’m happy to coach and mentor; I don’t necessarily need to do any driving myself. I would bring my test/logging gear and pro-video/audio equipment to document the performance of the car and driver.

If that sounds appealing, drop me a PM with a phone number. I’m available during the next 30 days and have a cordial working relationship with MIR management after doing ten rentals filming there.

Let me know.

Ranger

Ranger, nice to see your back!! After some of the posts in this section over the last few weeks, it would be very nice to see what a bone stock ZR1 can really do. You certainly are the person to help us get a bone stock "best" performance.

Great to see Ranger back! This is the one guy I would have drive my ZR1 if I had one. I think he still has the fastest time yet on a stock ZO6.

Ranger's a stand-up guy (as if I needed to say this!) and should find a car easily. If I lived around there AND owned a ZR1, I'd volunteer in a heartbeat.

Ranger,
What is your best guess as to what times these cars can do bone stock with stock tires?
