I was trying to, but the Silverado Pace Truck rode my a$$ like a donkey. I couldn't let too much of a gap form before I was forced to floor it. It'd be nice if they let us space out a bit.

I was in the last group too, somewhere in the middle. I didn't get over 75

Hey everyone! Great pics and videos as well! I want to personally thank everyone that came out to Classic, the 9/11 Flight Memorial, and TMS for a great event!! I am sorry I didnt get to make it out to the track, but I had to help make the "Ownership Dream" come true to another great customer. I hope to be out at the next one, with my 2012 'Vert! We here at Classic are very honored to be associated w/ such a great group of enthusiasts and Camaro ambassadors! It was great to be able to host and donate to such a great and memorable event!

I Hit 121 in the front stretch near the start/finish line however I cant seem to get the video from my iphone to my desktop so I can upload it to youtube.

It keeps saying File is to large and if I shorten it then its not even worth watching imo.

I need to get me a Gopro video Camera and suction cup it to the roof and do it again next spring.

A friend of mine told me before I went to Go low on the apron then come out of the apron in the straight aways at WOT but come out at an angle and it will slingshot you FWD sad thing is the guy in front of me hit his brakes halfway through the straight away and I had to slow down as well.

I just finished a short video of the police escort.
I only seen 2 motorcycle cops - yet we had a third very resourceful
Camaro helping out.
He did a very fine job too!
Check it out....

Funny, I seem to remember it being a lot louder!

I did find it a bit weird that out of all the Camaros there, I only saw one other Silver Ice Camaro (an SS).

Oh it was louder, I suspect the camera microphone was swamped.

This was the first time I'd used the camera for more than just really short clips. I think I need to learn more about the sound levels before the next time.

The SYN Camaro was our in-house DJ, Jonathan. LEOjw on our boards.

Once we got to that last intersection, I was on the phone with him asking if we had the police coming up to block it so I could keep the line moving. Obviously, we did not but after we talked, he decided he would block for us.

Next year we're shooting for an escort all the way.
