Looks like it will be a serious competitor.. Good luck out there.. And remember, we always love watching good in-car footage of some good wheel-to-wheel racing!

After creating it i thought of some more witty ones but w/e...
Oh and very nice C6 racecar btw, one day I hope to have the budget to run a road race car like that, but that'll have to wait until after college....

Taking the Vette and the LS1 powered stock car to Daytona this weekend for the SCCA races.
Have the wrong gear (3.40) for the Vette which will limit top speed through the tri oval, but will be a good test none the less. Really need a 3.0 gear with a 6800 rpm rev limit. Don't have time to secure another 9" chunk like we need.
The stock car should run well, was very quick at Road Atlanta this past weekend at the Mitty (1.31) with first time RA driver.

Daytona SCCA May 7-8, Our LS1 Stock Car won overall in the GT group, the Vette had a successful test, but brought her in after 5 laps with some fuel pick up issues. She handled and drove well.

Installed an "SCCA Only" drop on hood constucted from a HOWE Camaro hood we cut down. Cost about $ 450 including louvers, without paint. Next race is Daytona with CFR SCCA & V8StockCar Aug 6 & 7. We plan to debut our "new"
tube frame Camaro as well. Actually our GTA type stock car re-bodied as a Camaro.
