Default VIR-The good, the bad and the ugly

Our crew took a beating this trip. 2 C6 Z06's blew up their engines at the exact same place-one C6 Z06 fried its wiring harness, one C5 steering pump crapped out, and I ended up with a broken windshield.I actually think I came out pretty good. Made my best lap to date-a 2:11. So here are some pics.

When we got to the event parking area, the C7s were already there. I got to sit in this one and play with the controls a bit. There were a total of 3 C7s. One torch red, one midnight blue (BEAUTIFUL) and a black one.









I stayed at the Lodge at VIR-so my view was the turns right before the esses.



My car # 69.



Watching the C7 lead parade laps from the Lodge.



Wet C7 !!!



My buddies car and pieces. We couldn't get the hood up to see the total damage. I think the whole engine compartment is toast as it caught fire (as you'll see later.)


Engine parts.



Here is the video of the aftermath of his fire. It happens on the back straight in the braking zone.
