Their Camaro did very well.. cool car.

But, in fairness to the Corvette.. it had an issue with driver ergonomics. Namely Mary Pozzi could barely fit in it (no adjustable seats) and the pedal placement was "off".

This kept her from showing the true potential of the car.

Then again, it's a run what ya brung event and everyone was under the same rules.

And yea, the Camaro did great considering it had never been tested and had that massive chunk of iron under the hood.

i have come up with the planed changes for this year.

we are having a custom Cast Iron fuel tank made to off set the weight of the motor and give the car a 50/50 balance.

I've actually thought about bias. I'm definitely not worried about removing weight behind teh centerline of the car.
