Mastering the art of rev-matching would seem to be a worthwhile goal.

Not really too hard to learn. If the instructors showed you how to do it the "best" way and not the traditional way you'll learn it pretty fast. Using half of your foot on the brake and the other on the gas is a lot better to control brake modulation and revs than having to shift your heal to the right to hit the gas.

I'm still debating on whether or not left foot braking is something I want to learn anytime soon or not.

Forget about it for now, you only use it during trail braking anyways and unless you're a master at controling weight transfer you're asking for trouble.

Keith as usual great pics and videos of the event.

[The Factor]

That was pretty kool Keith sorry to hear your little war with the trash cans , See if you were in the 1/4 mile that wouldnt of happen..j/k..seriuosly though I think im more of a straight line kinda guy in a car, but put me on a crotch rocket in the twistys and thats were im most comfortable. Glad you had fun and nice driving i'll have to go sometime and watch when its on the weekend.

Patrick, how did the runflats feel on the track?

I think they did good, but I don't have anything to compare to. My Instructor said the car handled very predicable.

I hear the z51 package has stickier tires. I bet they are better, but wear down fast.

There was a C5 that was cranking! He had way more experience than I do.
