Z Fastest Time Of Day At Jag. Meet

[Carl Beck]

This past weekend a few of us from the Tampa Bay area attended the annual "Roar & Soar" event at the Fantasy Of Flight Museum in Polk City, Florida. If you haven't been to the museum, you owe it to yourself to go. Several WW-II Period War Birds, a Super G- Constellation and older Bi-Planes etc.

There is a car show and the Jaguar Club puts on an auto-cross. They seem to run the same course each year, as they keep records of the previous track record for Fastest Time Of Day. It was held by a very professionally prepared, full race, E-Type at 42.0 seconds.

I say "it was held" because Bill Coffee took his Z this year... Bill cranked out the Fastest Time Of Day both Saturday and Sunday.. 40.019 and 40.992 shattering the old record. Video of an E-Type running the course, followed by Bill's Z.

There will now be two records in the books:

Jaguar 42.0

Others 40.0

Bill rocks, he can drive the wheels of that Z, which is also one of the hottest ones I have seen.

I second Carl's recommendation for Fantasy Of Flight. That place is awesome. This was the first time I saw Bill running the Z and it was quite impressive I must say.

I had a great time at Roar N Soar and highly recommend it.

Thanks for the video Carl. It's great to see Bill's car back on the track again after it's incident in NC. I wish I could have been there but I was up in Atlanta for a Falcons game.
