I finally had some free time to take the Corvette out - and beat on it.

2 weeks ago - the local 1/4 mile drag strip was open. Zmax is never open for Test and Tune - but they where open one night for the Nascar shops - so I went racing with them.

I got 3 runs in - and managed not to break the car.

My times where:
13.1 @ 111
13.7 @ 115
13.5 @ 121

I didn't launch the car hard off the line - I barely have 1k miles on the clutch. I rolled into the throttle and screwed up the 1-2 shift twice.

My video of the runs:




Last weekend I was able to go autocrossing finally.

I autocrossed with the local CCR-SCCA chapter - and went autocrossing in the big parking lot at Zmax Dragway.

I was in the first run group - and on my first run - it was only 54* outside. On the last turn of my run - I gassed it to hard and ended up kicking the rear end out and I slid right into the timing box.

This ended up cracking my side splitter in 3 spots - but luckily the door and rest of the car where fine. There is a small scratch in the clear coat on the door - that will probably buff out.

My times for the day where:

Run 1: 95.752
Run 2: 90.086
Run 3: 90.022
Run 4: 86.403

I managed to drop time each run - I just wish we had one or 2 more runs and I might have been able to drop more time.
