I think we lost a silver Z/28 at RA this last weekend. Hit the wall at the kink then went across track and hit the opposite wall.
Car appeared totaled.
I hope the driver is ok.

The rear got loose coming out of the kink.
Almost got it back but slid into Armco rail,
then glanced of to the other side of the track and hit the jersey barrier.
The first hit was at over 100mph but I had six point harness and a hans unit.
I walked away with minor rib bruises.
Took the track an hour and a half to replace Armco barriers
I feel so bad loosing my Camaro but that's why you buy track insurance.

The passenger area looks amazingly intact, not even the windshield is broken. Sorry for your loss, and glad you're ok!

Good grief! Glad you’re able to walk away! Car did its job. Rest and heal.

Zapper, the main thing is that you walked away with only some minor bruising. The Z28 can be replaced. Good thing you had all the safety gear in place, and yes the insurance too.

Zslash28 · 07-11-2018, 02:35 AM

ZapperZ, im glad you walked away, testimate to having the right gear and a tank for a car. The Z can be replaced, and I hope you do get into another.

Sorry for the loss of the car, but as other said the important part is a smack like that and you walked away.

Smokin19 · 07-11-2018, 06:28 AM

WOW!! Glad to hear you walked away from this. Just goes to show how well the 5th gen is built.

Best wishes with the ribs, hope they heal up well. Glad you had track insurance, smart man. Damn shame about the car. What's on the horizon you think? ZL1 1LE?

ZapperZ · 07-11-2018, 08:42 AM

Thank you everyone for the kind words.
Yes the next one will be a Gen6 ZL1 1LE.
My ATS-V is the same platform as Gen6 Camaro and is such a blast to drive.

Nice, best wishes with the track insurance payout. Interested in how the process goes, if possible, please let us know (no numbers, just fairness, and ease of process).
