And this was the best part. There were a couple of us from the Shelby American group that got the class at this session son after everyone finished lunch at the birthday party, Bob pulled out his ZR1... And gave us hot laps. All I can say is WOW!!! We were going around the track and I asked him about something he was doing and his comment was something like "they're conservative". Then we rounded a corner that most of the students were doing at 110-120, and he was carrying on a conversation at 145. I do believe a lot of it had to do with the ZR1. Our cars were constantly squealing the tires at the point of "a happy tire is a squealing tire" on the verge of breaking lose. Also lots of body roll and nose dive when you hit the brakes. The ZR1 never squealed and when he hit the brakes it was simply solid.

Anyway, these are shots from Bob driving just before I went on my lap.
