Managed to get a couple of sessions in the Z/28 on a 118dB day at Donington back in July. Glorious day!

Pat Tucker on Instagram: "Killing it in the stands at The Fast Car Festival #tfcf2017 #camaroporn #bringthenoise #doningtonparkcircuit #trackaddict #z28 #wakingthedead #ls7 #chevroletperformance #redline_motorsports #musclecar šŸŽ¶ šŸ’Ŗ" - havenā€™t been noise tested yet but Iā€™m taking a guess at >104dB!!



Getting more used to the car all the time, despite the size/weight it really is a truly great driverā€™s car. In fact Monkey-Harris just bought one a few days ago!

Pirelli Trofeos on now (vids are with some crap US Nitto tyre), so looking forward to Curborough on the 18th Sept and Rockingham on the 24th Sept. Maybe see a few of you there?



cheers,

Pat

Thanks for posting Pat I enjoyed that. I love Donny too, Iā€™ve been there a LOT this year. The yank monster looks to go well and sounds awesome!

Hope to see you out later this year.

Looks great. Who was hosting the noisy day? The bookatrack days are always at the start and end of the season.

It was sessioned as part of the ā€˜Fast Car Festivalā€™.



Normally I would steer clear of Tracktime at car shows as the clientele is a littleā€¦erā€¦ chavvy. Accidents and red flags aplently!

Fast Car Festival had Advanced, Intermediate and Novice sessions though, so I booked all the advanced ones, and given that we were sharing the track with an Aston Martin Vulcan and a McLaren P1 everyone was well behaved! It was also cheap at only Ā£30 a session. Iā€™ll probably do it again next year as itā€™s much better value than a normal noisy day on a weekend in July :slight_smile:



Raced the Camaro at Brighton Speed Trials on Saturday. Great event, too much wheelspin for good times but I enjoyed the challenge.

ā€¦ I have been keen on American cars but I remember the sound and the pace of that machine from Anglesey, magic. Two great videos.
