Exclamation ***Corvette Wins Texas Invitational Event***

Just want to say thanks to everyone that helped put on this event. It was the 3rd time running and it ran smooth as ever. I think there were over 60 cars pushing over the 1000rwhp barrier. This was definitely the biggest gathering of high hp street cars. Everything from the classic Camaro/Corvette/Mustang battles to the new exotic Lamborghini/GTR/Porshce/Vipers. Almost every platform you could think of was there.

I am just glad we got the chance to show the world what a Corvette/LSX platform can do. To be able to beat 1500hp plus AWD cars all weekend long was just an amazing accomplishment. The American Corvette once again is on Top of the Street car world.

I will try and post some videos as I can this week. I really need to catch back up at the shop since we have been working on getting the blue vette ready for this past event.

I know, it was a very tough decision to not show up at the final LSX shootout of the year(especially with the firebird running so well) but I had to go where I thought would be best for my business. Showing the world what we can do with a street car was well worth it.

Congratulations on the win LMR and Joel. You guys have worked hard on the vette over the past year and have it running like a champ. That's not a joke. This is no one pump chump. Corvette Shootout was more then 4 rounds and the same with KOTS. On top of that you guys did work during Grudge Matches. You earned your wins the hard way and deserve it. Steven you are a fish in water when it comes to this style of racing. It's great seeing people that happy out there. Again, congrats for being the new King of the Street.

I was out there and it seemed like you were on top by alot. Lots of 160mph and some 170mph but you guys were destroying them.
