Paul, I'm thinking the reduced HP and additional 600 pounds had something to do with the MPH difference.
I knew my car would be a considerable amount slower. We will be working on that for next year.
HMMM, Now that I think about it. I do have a red ZR-1. Maybe next year we can bring two or three. I am sure the wife would have drove the ruby.

Scott, I forgot the mount for the second go pro camera in the ruby.
GoPro was suppose to be at the event and I could not find them.

Robert,
I know very little about the Callaway other than they existed. I interpret what you are saying as the model you have, Aerobody, with the design changes, body, etc. weighs 600#'s more than a normal stock ZR-1 of the same vintage. Is that correct or is the 600#'s a big Gorilla or two, Like Workman once he was out of a ride, who chose to ride along?

Lance I just looked up the kit it is 200#, Plus 150# of Dynamat and Dynapad that I added last summer (which Pete was correct when he said "It looks to me like you are adding weight to your car", and an overweight driver comes to more like 450#.
There were no riders allowed.

You're not going to hear any overweight driver comments from me! People in glass houses and all that! I was kidding as Paul's day got cut a tad short.

The Big Bend Open and Sand Hills races you need a navigator to give you road configurations coming up because you are driving to match an average speed you've registered as a class to compete in, 130, 140, etc. At those speeds on unfamiliar roads someone studying map and calling out approaches, "right turn 65 degrees half mile...." would be invaluable. Different things.

Still, I like your video and you did very well it seems to me.

I would like to do the Silver City run some year.
