Well, first event has been completed. Successfully at that! With just over a 100 miles before getting there, we only had a few little issues, mostly self induced
Nothing bad, no damage and never went off track. Literally the gas pedal fell apart...I was sure I tightened all that stuff, so maybe a little loctite is in order. Anyway other than that, we had an amazing weekend with friends at the Midwest Musclecar Challenge.
We dual registered it so it was literally running back to back road course sessions. Took it like a champ, bud did get a little warm one session as I may have been pushing it a little hard
At the end of the day at Punam Park, I was 7th in the intermediate group with a 1:24.4 lap hitting 120mph at the end of the front straight. Oh, and that is exactly 3 secs/lap faster than I was last year in the Chevelle with the same motor. Must be the 500 lbs less weight...
On to pics: John with Forgeline took some pics of the car, I snapped this while he was taking his.
Great guy, Scott Knick was there with his cool flared 65. Looks like they were seperated at birth
This is Jill on the grid for her very first time on a roadcourse behind the wheel. She had a great time and a very good instructor!
Her instructor, Mr. Corvette Danny Popp
Guys at Ridetech snapped this on the autox on Saturday
And to top the weekend off, we both came back with some hardware!! Yeah, Jill was a sponsor pic for Royal Purple and I got the (another) Ridetech Renegade award...very humbled by that. Got one with the Chevelle and now one with the Vette. Very huge thanks to Bret and the gang at Ridetech, super group of people.

So we put a very large "1" in the Win column this weekend. Great weekend, great event, great people to hang out with...still buzzin
