C6 Blows Up at Island
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFOhVVPhzhU
Title just says "Island". The tower does look familiar though.
Burning car at the trees last Thursday?

He might be mad when he finds out his car isn't covered on a race track. LOL

Cleanup in aisle 1! 
Yeah, if you look at most insurance policies they don't cover you while racing at the track. Some companies will send people down to video tape racing as well and they'll drop you if they find you racing.

It says "Brand new corvette blew up @ Island Dragway " right on the youtube description.
Don't know about the Z06 part, UT might be hallucinating....

the only white Z06 is george bensen's. white isn't one of the offered colors last i heard, george repainted his after a really bad accident.
last i heard george's car was not back together yet. he is doing a full 25.2c(? cert down to 7.50) on teh car and i think it is still at TTP being put back together since the cage jsut got certified.

Was sent to me by a co-worker who said he had a friend there.  I just took the title he sent to me in internal email.
Whatever it was, I hope no one got hurt.
I wonder what marshmellows would taste like in that kind of fire?

In the video I thought the car was silver which could make it a Z06
