This Corvette was at MIR (Memphis International Raceway) last Sunday. NASA HPDE Road Course weekend. I talked to his friend who is driving the Lotus in the vid. Lotus is 350 whp at 1980 lbs. Corvette is 800 hp. The sound of that thing was indescribable. Ran my first HPDE events Sunday. I'm hooked. Long straight before Turn 1 I'm going 107 and the instructor is saying "stay in it. stay in it." Brain is saying " Brake, BRAKE) Damn. What fun.

I get the feeling he had more car and money than good sense. Going through the "m" one handed. Had a really fine camper/bus watchacallit, tho.

That was the 2nd thing I noticed. The first thing I noticed was some really sloppy driving, as I consider myself somewhat of an authority on really sloppy driving.

Geese and helicopters don't mix well.

Actually, the geese mix surprisingly well.

More like "blend," actually.

I'm always amazed by the robustness of the rotor blades on Sky9. Those puny little A320s get all like "OMG, both engines out!" but our bird doesn't care.

Better than being at Barber a few years ago and seeing a brand new ZR1 with the targa roof removed so the driver could fit a helmet....which stuck up higher than the roof line.
