Exclamation **LMR TX Mile Corvette**

Just finished up our Corvette for the TX Mile. Just need to change her oil, then give her a nice wash and she will get loaded in the trailer. Wish us luck, we are going to see if we can bring home some records for the LS community with this car and Kellys camaro.

Good luck this weekend! Stay safe!

And this is RC's old Vette, but now belongs to Joel (or Joel and Steven) from what I've been told.

Blue is a luckier color so the C6 should do well at the Mile. Good luck guys. See you in Beeville.

But any word to what tire your going to use on this car.

From all the other post y’all said the DR would just come off. So it would be cool to find out what your new plan is for them.

Yes, this is LMR's/Joels new car. We have changed a few things since this car has been out last. Car now has a PRO EFI computer system that will now allow us to tune at over 20lbs of boost. Car still has a 440ci engine with a custom LMR twin turbo kit. Car just maxed out our dyno at 1500rwhp with room to spare!
