Default First competitive event with the new build

Well kind of, bit of a gun to a knife fight just ran a lapbattle TT with NASA on Millers east track, the Z still doesn't have a full cage cause our guy can't get to it until the first of august, so I'm trying to get as much track time as possible shaking down the new drive train and suspension. I just used some scrubs that had 3 days from me on them and got fastest time of the day by almost 5 sec. Really happy so far, it was a really hot day and water temps stayed around 210* oil temps stayed low, with some pretty good lap times. The Pfadt double adjustable coilovers have felt awesome and the balance of the car seems perfect. Can't wait to get the rest of the cage in and get back to racing W2W

I'm glad it works, but the car looks like it has a cleft palate

It certainly looks different, but sounds like it is working!

Hard to keep a big motor cool when its high 90's here at this altitude and getting a lot of air though it seems to work. Most non corvette drivers like the look, most corvette owners not so much I've always like messing around with glass and carbon so it was fun to do. Still have a lot to do, but it's been good to get it out find some of the bugs and get some lap times

Great Work! Sounds like the car isn't having any problems staying ahead of the other Lap Battlers out there.

Thanks, the car feels good, its pretty much a rolling Pfadt catalog with a 434 dry sumped ls2 so it should
