Hell I enjoyed the build so much I was thinking of buying the cove grills from the 48 hour vette for my wall as my first garage art. But I missed the end of the auction.
We will be at the Texas Goodguys event this weekend MArch 20-22, and again the next weekend March 28-29 for the Optima Ultimate Street Car event. We can take passengers at Goodguys but not at Optima, so if you want to ride come to the Goodguys event. If you want to see the car run on the road course, come to the Optima event. Better yet...come to both!
Right now we are trashing to make some minor revisions [that ALL new cars seem to need]...more aggressive brake pads, seat position adjustment, replace a bad power window motor, heat sheilding, finish up the fire suppression system, a thorough wheel alignment, finish the center console.
Along with getting the Corvette ready to go, we are trying to finish up my own 69 Mustang to compete at Goodguys and Optima. Just because we didn't have enough to do

Did you put a Lingenfelter LS in it after the old engine grenaded at Road America?

No, Lingenfelter built us an aluminum 427W engine with a Dailey dry sump. It made 575hp and 550Tq. I'm looking forward to debuting it this weekend at Texas!

Good day at the NCM track in Bowling Green. Heres a quicky...the 48 Hour Corvette got dangerously close to my C7 Z07 in autocross lap times. More agressive brake pads, a seat adjustment, and a couple tuning changes will put this car right there. Doug Flynn at Holley and Brian Mason at KY scca are absolute rockstars. Smittys driving doesn't suck either. Heres a pic we took on the road course.
We didn't run timed road course laps at NCM because of construction going on with the track...only some spirited lead / follow sprints for video and such.
My semi educated butt dyno tells me that the yellow car will be no slouch. We'll know more after the Texas Optima event this weekend!
