A lot of cool cars and some really nice guys were out there on Sunday.
We should have gone on Sunday. We left at around 1:30 on Saturday because it looked like it was going to pour.

Is this yours?

My buddy and I were in red and black Zs.

Great event to attend and participate. Took my Grand National out there because a friend who originally purchased a pass, his car wasn't ready. Only got one run in up to lil passed 1/4. Ran a nice Z06 and stayed in front of him for quite a bit, 1/4 mark. Turbo drain started leaking, didn't feel like ruining the event for myself and everyone else if it were to bust during a run. I hit around 124mph, maybe would have picked up 15+mph if I stayed in it. See you in October.

Same as the dragstrip. They had the names reversed so I got the good times and my Friend's name was on my epic fails
