I did discover that I would not like to live in the mountains. After about 10 days above 5,000 feet elevation, and especially at 10,000 feet in the Vail Pass over the Rockies, I had gotten use to the Z not having a lot of acceleration. When I got back down to a reasonable elevation, and had to acceleration quickly at an on-ramp, it felt like my good old ZR-1 again.

Glad to hear you made it safely home. Thanks for the great photos along the way as my family and I enjoyed them. The NHRA guys also know about the altitude issues when they come to Bandimere speedway. The top speeds up here won't compare to sea level and the stock Z's won't run in the 12's.

I can remember running at the old Bandimere in the early 70's, with John Sr. before they moved/remodeled it, .5 to .7 slower, this is a mile high, try almost 2 mile high going over the passes

Hello from Switzerland,

Glad to hear that you are at home. I hope your cat is on the way of
recovery. Thank you very much again for let us all be part of your
trip. The pictures are great! I think I shall create a photo album so
I can admire them when ever I want.
Best wishes,

Franz

Glad to hear you made it home safe and with no out of state "money orders" from those hungry speed enforcers across the country. Hope all is well on the home front with the felines. Thanks for the great pictures reminding me of how much I enjoy road trips and the power of our ZR-1s.
