good to see that we get to make a few "practice laps"

Hopefully it's the same deal for the autocross...

I'm curious as to how the open track will go, the video of the Corvette doing the 2.2mi is 1:56 long. So lets say 2 min. times 40 cars, that won't fit between 8:20 - 8:50. Any ideas?

Generally they send a car.. wait thirty seconds.. send a car.. repeat.

On real "open track" days that time is less, but I imagine they want to give these cars plenty of room.

So there should be three or so cars "on track" at any time. At least durring practice.

Found my radiator has FOUR leaks in the core.. can't be fixed.. I'm having a new one fabbed up.. argh!

My powder paint was delayed a day so that Robbie Gordon could get his damn racecar chassis coated..

Gotta love it!

I thought of that.. it's sitting in the garage right now... Would be sort of labor intensive to replce the core support though. And then my DSE closeout might not fit.

Changing major systems is NOT the way to go 1.5 weeks from SEMA.. lol
