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.

FWIW,

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.

Great footage. Thanks for sharing!

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.
