Personal Best Times

Now that I've hit so many different tracks up and down the west coast, I've got a bunch of PB times to keep track of. So, in the interest of making my life easier, here's all my times from all the various tracks. Please note that some times were set at very different points in the development of the C5 Corvette, so some times may seem pretty quick, while others seem out of place by comparison. Please note: All track addicts times are with a 10hz Qstarz818xt GPS unit.
