Default Mom at Sonoma Raceway Z06.

I took the Z06 to Sonoma Raceway a couple weeks ago and took a bunch of people around the track and my Mom also. The car is making 553whp now so it's a bit faster than it was with her at Laguna. She couldn't take it, 2 slow laps and she was outta there. I had fresh hoosiers, race pads & fluid, car brakes and handles like a *****! Wasn't a car out there even close. Almost a bit too much hp for the whole setup, especially with stock seats, but a hell of a rush to drive.

Nice driving!! Looks like the bike has helped you learn how to stay in the throttle when the power rolls on, well done.

What is done to the car?? Heads/cam/exhaust?? And what pads/fluid are ya running??

Cool video and nice driving, love the power slides. Still need to do Sonoma. The walls are a little scary .

Loved the enhanced production quality too. Your mom is awesome.

Good Show

Mom Says : "Slow down"

Son Says : "Mom I can't -- I gotta go that fast" - blame it on the car That car has a mind of its own.

Kooks headers, xpipe with cats, Akrapovic muffler, custom ground cam from Synergy and a tune. Motul rbf600, braided lines and cobalt xr2 pads, hoosier r6's. The braking is ridiculous, neck snapping. Can't run them on the street though, the squeal under light braking is ear piercing.

I was into cars before bikes, got my scca license at Sonoma back in 94, then got into bikes because cars are so expensive.

Great vid- loved the prior one with your Mom too! The production quality on this is excellent. Your driving matches that level and your Z06 is wicked- well done. Your Mom...what a sweetheart. You're a lucky man. Cherish her, and please tell her that she's got at least one friend and fan here at the forum.

Sick, I spent a week sleeping on track at Sonoma for a race, it's a sick track for sure, you were on it! Any times? What tires? What's up with the GoPro3 footage from the front view?

My friend was timing me, best I got was a 1:47 with traffic. I have lots of footage of the day. I'm going to post up the whole clip of me and my Mom soon.
