Okay, while I hope track day folks do NOT do more of these mock rolling starts, this video is pretty fun. Especially just after the two minute mark.

It looks like I was shot out of a cannon through Oak Tree!

WTF, was the video owner using only 6 of the 8 cylinders in that C6? I mean at first, I felt like he was just being a little cautious, until he became a complete welcome mat. Then when you shot by, I realized he was driving like a puss

Nice. - AB

Aaron, you're being a little unfair. I mean there were a few slower vettes I had to pass first!

Maybe I wore out the tape watching the middle part over and over.

Shite Donnie...that Oak Tree section was the automotive equivalent of a Benny Hill skit. The speed difference was comical.

I was thinking the same thing Ryan!

BTW - I like how he commented on all of the Cheby's but didn't even mention that he just got pwned by a lowly Honduh!

ok, finally got to watch it.

Was that really a 2:32 lap....in a vette?

What you're seeing there is the difference between a very experienced racer and some guy in the advanced group that never has been in a race or a rolling start before.....Well may once before

if that Camaro is the one i think it is, distance is advisable. or a more aggressive demeanor to facilitate a pass quickly. otherwise one could ride behind 'er forever. :lol:

notice the braking at South Bend.

Not sure who you think is in the Camaro, but the 'er I think you're talking about was in the black Vette w/green, and passed both the vette taking the video and the Camaro on the back straight. :wink:

In as much as none of you were at the event save for Donnie, Graham, and me. I'd say he did a fair job for running on street tires and stock suspension, and no roll protection.
