And now the other part of the story.
Remember that lamp post?
Well it turns out that video drones do not like lamp posts.

All fixable. We shared contact info. Glad no one was hurt as the area was crowded.

Looks like a fun time, minus the drone incident! Wish I could have made it.

I can't see much out of them and I'll need two men and small boy to adjust hem properly

Also missing a #0 set screw on one of them out if the box

Don't know why I bother sometimes...

Would have been a perfect time kevin to ask for a ride in the Lambo. He was probably feeling like such crap that he would've just about done anything you wanted.

Yeah, sucks but circumstances were good (lots of witnesses).
I can imagine the crowd's reaction when it hit your car.

HeadBanger · 06-08-2015, 12:07 PM

Props to the guy for handling the situation well, but he definitely wasn't feeling bad for Kevin lol

Speaking of rides I was competing in OTA at Mosport DDT last weekend and a buddy of mine showed up in a brand new Corvette Z06. We went out on the track and the the grip, acceleration and transmission (auto he did not use the paddles) is O.M.F.G.!!!! I literally lol'd for the entire first lap.

And, he was running in ECONO mode (there are 5 track modes available)!! You know, there IS a God... Because Z06.

Not yet, but my car leaks a bit so I need to get around to this soon.
Raceseng also makes some, but they are pricier at $75 USD.

I hear good things about the TS ones though.

i have had it replaced with raceseng cam plate, and so far no leak from 2 track days. No more burning oil smell either.

Lol. A nice yellow one showed up on Saturday for 1MoreLap's event at Calabogie. It's a toss-up between the C7 Z06 or GT3RS for my lottery car now!
