Well John, y'all know that my Cobra is broke and I intended to do that school in it .. but had to take the C6 instead. I'm not really a Vette person .. it's just a work car .. hell there was a guy out there in a rented 6 cyl Mustang! I mean surely somebody coulda showed up in a Shelby GT 500 or KR or something classy.

We had a RX-7, a Maserati something or other, a 4 wheel drive Porsche Cab, A Jag S-Type R for crying out loud, and a half dozen C6's. And our good friend Jody Orsag was there with his gorgeous new Lone Star that was in KCB August issue.

The Vettes pretty much ruled .. one Z06 ate me up regularly. But the run flat tires were hard and greasy. db said to leave the stability control engaged .. so it was pretty much me against the Nanny. It cut my fuel off on just about every lap on the Carosel turn I LIKE to 4 wheel drift, and that's what the Cobra does. Can't do it in the Vette with the system on.

Ok, db says if the system has to save your a$$, then you are not driving correctly .. thank you sir .. no argument .. Anyway, I did not leave the track, came close .. and I understand there was some drama behind me with a yellow C6 that almost went wrong. Drove the paddle shift in manual mode .. 3rd gear most of the time .. some 2nd gear. Looked at the tires later, 300 AA's .. hardly any wear

Reyburn .. set of new Krause Goodyear Stock Car Specials mounted and sitting on the lift where the Cobra will be just as soon as KCM is done with it Waiting on Dr. Rob to get done poking around with her rear end ..

Oh yes, Bwana came out and ran his C6 with the new cockpit cams .. Gary, how did that do? Got any video?

It was good to see my DCC friends come out .. hope I didn't embarass

Sam
