Default My car is famous.....

Well, not really... :toetap:

I got my car in this month's "Vette" Magazine .... I submitted a picture back in December from Fayetteville Motorsports Park in NC. Won a $250 gift certificate from Zip products and got a bunch of Corvette t-shirts for me and the wife, a calender and some C6 corvette glasses. $250 does not go far in a vette catalogue with the notorious vette tax.....lol!

That day my best run was an 11.07 at 127.62 w/ a 1.7 60' time. My best mph so far has been 128. Heading out to the track this Sunday and hopefully will have my 10 second slip....

If any of you guys are interested, all you have to do is send a picture of your vette (preferably in a racing environment) along with your best e.t., autocross lap time, or raod-race laptime to:

VETTE Magazine
9036 Brittany Way
Tampa, FL 33619

Or via the Web to:
vette@sourceinterlink.com

I can't get a good picture from the magazine, but this is the picture I submitted:

Nice. $250 pays for track fees, gas, etc for several days of racing, so long as there is something in that catalog you wanted and would have spent the money on.

Congrats!!! I'll have to get a copy.

I've been contacted about putting my "Gentleman's Cruiser" in a couple of mags. I've already filled out the spec sheet for them..We'll see what happens.
