At this weekend's DE. LS6 (C5-Z06) powered via a Porsche transaxle.

It's a lot smaller vehicle than I expected from the photos I had seen.

That is Karl Troy's bad boy, he finished 3rd in class & 6th overall in the 2006 Car & Driver Cannonball 1 Lap of America in it. He comes to some of our DEs. Cool guy with super cool toys

I don't know the full details and didn't see it happen, but I was told he locked up all 4 going into a turn, almost Effing up. But we all have bad days from time to time.

I do know he didn't run it much on Saturday and none on Sunday.

These are some well hidden falls we found along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We sumbled across them this past spring and went back a few days ago. They are about a 30-45 minute hike off the parkway into the forest. It was well worth the hike.

The top pool is deep enough to jump into, probably 7-10 feet deep. The middle pool was about 3-5 feet deep and the lower pool was 1-2 feet deep. Something for everyone.

Being at about 5000' elevation it was not too hot out, maybe in the upper 70's but warm enough after the hike to get a little wet. The water was cold.

Upper falls:


Lower falls:
