Default Yellow Peril! (Corvette cries uncle...)

From the recent Audi Club DE at Autobahn Country Club:



Fun was had by all - a great facility, good people, three days of fast, dry track....

Is that a Z06 giving a pass to a Cayman?

This was my first time at ACC, so I got the souvenir pix. All credit for good pix go to the shooters at Sideline Sports Photography - very good people.

Missed you there, VR - really a fun track. Third day was full course, very nice.

YES, CAYMANS GET POINT BY'S FROM Z06'S! As so often said, it is the driver, not the car. That's why, after we got around the Corvette, I pointed by the Carrera....

The ALL YELLOW series, followed by some other shots I liked.....

...I heard that ACC had sound restrictons. Rather than risk dragging a track car up to Chicago, only to be thrown off the track, I took the street car. GT3 comes out to play when I get back to TWS. Sorry to hear about your last race, BTW - glad that you are OK, and hope the Spec996 (they go to 11...) is back in action soon!

Thanks Jim. The Spec996 will be back, and v2.0 will go to 12.

Actually, both the Corvette and the A8 were slow, but played well with others. Nice to see that they (1) were interested in learning how to drive, and (2) were courteous while doing it. Never had to wait for point by, things kept moving very well!
