Drove my C7 Z06 with my son to a Cars & Coffee at the Shelby American Collection and went through the collection.



Ken Miles 1966 Ford GT40 P/1015



1 of 1 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350S factory prototype supercharged and first to be painted in a color other than Wimbledon White



A "gaggle" of Cobra Roadsters!

===========

Then drove my C7 Z06 with my son to a private collection opened to our Corvette club.
A few of the close to 400 cars/trucks/motorcycles.



John Lennon's 1956 Austin Princess A135 Hearse



Jackie Kennedy's 1957 Jaguar Mark I



1948 Tucker 48

Well.....Tuesday was Motor Sports Ranch - Cresson. Friday had the tire fixed. Today was brake pads getting ready for the BMW event on May 25th



The old brake pads were EBC SR21 (F) and SR11 (R). They don't fit my style. Poor modulation....more like an on/off switch....and a couple laps in I seem to pass through a heat range with them where I get some pretty bad shake. It's enough to blur the HUD. A a lap later, the shake is gone. Nonetheless, I like the feel and performance of Carbotech better so that's what I went back to. A few shots of the front are below. The bridge is already out in the first shot, just showing the pads. I use Titanium insulators to help with heat. I could have run these pads another day....I just don't like them ....

Nice video 96. I miss the road course days. And your video made me miss them that much more. Haven’t been in 5 years, since I sold my 1LE Camaro.
