I didn't have the camera when I was watching him but the Camaro looked really cool jumping around trying to grab traction. I told Joey last night that it looked like an old 60's 4 speed car hammering the gears when he was coming out of the hole. Pretty cool. He did really well and I think it's cool you let him do it.

Yea, he was fighting it hard. lol! I didn't try to tell KP anything. All I asked him to do was be safe and bring the car back in one piece. He didn't have a clue how to heat the tires up & didn't try. One of the guys told him to drive around the water box & he did do that. He couldn't blow the motor up, so the only things that would break were the tranny/driveshaft/rear.

I want him to have some fun with it now because there's no way of knowing if he'll ever be able to afford to do it later on & no way of knowing how much longer I'll be able to do it.

I messed up because when we got to the track I lowered the pressure in the drags to 24 lbs and didn't check it again. Before we left I checked them and with the heat they were back up to 30 lbs. He would probably had a little more bite with a little less air.

When Sean does it again in the fall we'll give it another go. Maybe by then I'll have a clutch in the Z06 that can handle a few stiff runs too.

The main thing is that everyone made it home and the broken stuff either has or can be fixed.

I didn't get too many pics and haven't looked to see what I did get yet. I'll be posting some when I get time.
