lol, so much for his bonus this year.

he best take a week off, as the amount of "ribbing" he's gonna take for that one. But on the other hand, he may see the tire choice on the ZR1 isn't the best option for racing...lol.

and he loves to race/drive his car on the track. So it's not like his first time ever driving fast. Maybe a little over excited and forgot some basics most likely. Or like any other 'great' driver, it was the cars fault. Oh wait, he's head of engineering, better not try that one...lol.

Maybe he should of selected a ZL1 1LE to pace the race. Apparently the ZR1 wasn't up to the task.

Wow what an idiot. It looks like he had is foot on the gas right up until he slammed into the wall!

HDRDTD · 06-04-2018, 01:50 PM

He wasn't the only one that had issues in turn two.
Others did as well.
He's just the unfortunate 'high profile' driver in a 'high profile' car that ended up losing control and kissed the wall in a nice new ZR1.
Ooops…...

I thought the same thing .

I guess some of the drivers from the race are saying turn 2 where the Vette crashed is one of the hardest corners on the track to get right .
