Default Got the guts and skills to race a Viper on TV?

Talk is cheap if you can’t bring it behind the wheel. You’ve seen the episodes of The Forum Wars presented by Royal Purple, and you’ve thought, “I could do better than that!” Here’s your chance, as recruiting is set to begin for The Forum Wars Season 2.

Would you like to represent CorvetteForum on the track in your ZR-1, Z06 or modded C6? Are you willing and able to competitively run a ¼ mile drag race, autocross style road course and a 0-100-0 competition against a Viper from Viper Alley? We want you to compete on The Forum Wars Season 2 that will be filmed in Houston, Texas at the Royal Purple Raceway the weekend of Jan. 8, 2011.

Racers and fans of the inaugural season of The Forum Wars will experience better competition as the new season will include:

· ¼ mile NHRA drag strip
· Improved road course design
· 0-100-0 racing
· Cars and drivers nominated and approved by the forums
· Additional track time for the drivers
· More evenly matched vehicles with similar mods and tires

This season’s eight (8) episode series will be promoted on national television, SPEED, and posted and promoted all over the internet. To sweeten the deal, prizes will be awarded to participants from Royal Purple, Magnaflow Exhaust, Eibach Springs, Mothers Polish and more.

If you want to represent your forum on The Forum Wars Season 2, please reply to this post. Or, if you would like to nominate a CorvetteForum member, you can submit his or her name.

We are looking forward to an improved and incredible season with a great day of competition and fun at the track! Don’t wait to nominate! Nominations will close December 20th.

Raftracer & the Nuclear Bannana what's not to like about that combo?

I would nominate SW, he can both drag and road race, with combining these events I would bet he can pretty much outperform anyone including the Forum "hot shoes" mentioned and he owns a modded Z06 and a ZR1

Honestly I think there are quite a few people on here that could do the job, Aaron being high on that list. But the Raftracers experience in high powered corvettes speaks for itself. I have no idea about drag racing he'll have to chime in about that, not to mention the Nuclear Bannana was offered and that is a pretty good combo right there. Unless Tommy Archer is driving that Viper my money would be on the Raftracer
