Awesome! Were there any non-Z51 cars that were driven at your event?

Hi, becky
All I can say is wow. |
Thank you for sharing this with us, Becky!
|
Thanks for sharing Becky! I went to Spring Mountain and raced the C6's a couple years ago and it was the best part of my life so far! I can't wait to do it again with C7's!
From my phone calls with SM, they won't get C7's for public use until March, which seems so long away! http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o...ps6e900596.jpg |
Congratulations Becky!!! I got to spend a few hours in a C7 at the Precision Drive in South Florida. The four hours here were but a mere taste compared to what you received. I am glad you were selected to go. Spring Mountain is definitely a bucket list item for me.

Awesome!
