Ferrari Track Day at Lime Rock, with crash vid

Went to an FCA track day at Lime Rock on Friday, and there was some fantastic hardware there - FXX, Challenge cars, CS, Scuds, etc...

Anyway, here's a couple vids - One of me chasing some Challenge cars that sound awesome, and one vid my friend Jay captured of a Ferrari/Corvette crash.

What's up with the two vettes passing you on the inside, in a braking zone, into a corner? Did you give them a point by? Seems like a pretty dangerous place to pass if it's just a DE event.

The 'crash vid' is my friend Jay, not me. He said the yellow Vette was up his *** pretty good, so he pointed him by; the blue Vette just followed. He stuffed him a little bit, but at least he knew he was there.

The blue Vette got the most damage - He rear-ended the black Vette HARD, and mashed up the front of his car pretty good.

Thanks, man. Yeah, the 2004 C5Z06 is my track car. I only have sway bars, brake pads, and slicks on it. Other than that it is completely stock. (Well, it has racing seats, 6 pt harness, and harness bar, too) - But nothing done to engine/exhaust/trans, or anything like that.

It's still under warranty, so I just beat it senseless at the track, and bring it back to Chevy to do any repairs for ZERO dollars.

That looks like it was a great time minus the crash incident.

Very cool vids. It's crazy how the Ferrari completely drowns out the sound of your LS6!
