      Thanks for posting. At the last Michigan National I believe we had 200 cars on the track. On the straight away I just hit 3rd gear in my 2006 and was doing 130. Had to hit the brakes as Roy Sinor was in front of me in his ZR1 and we ran out of straightaway. I smoked the tires when I hit second gear. Was a bit of fun.

        NCRS members attending the associated events got to tour Milford in 1992, 2008, and 2018. I am missing another one. I know there was four times, but I can't remember the year. I know someone will help me out. Anyway the point was there have been numerous chances, but one has to attend an NCRS National Convention or Regional sponsored by the Michigan Chapter.

          Excellent video. I can only see a small part of all the testing and engineering that goes into all these vehicles. WOW. Lots of high tech going on there. Thanks for making our cars so safe.

            The track added under the direction of Bob Lutz and modeled after the Nuburgring is called the Lutz ring. In another life I'd like to come back as a development engineer at the MPG.
