I remember riding along with Derek and counting down the brake markers... I swear he uses them as a countdown.

I like how you speak in subtitles while racing....

Good job making it stick!

Wait til he comes back with his own blue Z06 for the July weekend (especially the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge that Friday), it's got something like another 200whp. I'm guessing we may see some 1:55's or better from Danny if the weather is right and the track is sticky
