RideTech 48 Hour Corvette On The Podium In Kissimmee
It was a beautiful weekend in Florida for the 2nd Annual Goodguys' Rod & Custom Florida Nationals. Chris Smith and the 48 Hour Corvette were ready and willing to take to the concrete battlefield that most of the competitors later compared to a go cart slick track. "The Pro Class competition was stiff, they left the hole fast and hit the concrete hard," reported Chris about Friday morning. With Chris coming from the gravel peppered track at Raleigh, the Corvette had a good loose traction setup right out of the trailer which kept him on the leader board throughout the weekend.

By Sunday morning, Chris had worked his way into third place, a mere 2 tenths of a second of Kyle Tucker's first place run. Second was held by Tyler Powell and his C2 Corvette also on RideTech TQ CoilOvers. The competition between the three cars had been so close all weekend that the GoodGuys' staff called for a Sunday morning Shoot Out between Kyle, Tyler, & Chris. The scene was set and the three were summoned to staging. Tyler Powell had the magic setup for this run and advanced to the first place position knocking Kyle down to second with Chris holding his third place spot to finish out the weekend. When asked about the weekend's event Chris replied: "The RideTech 48 Corvette is teaching me as fast as I can learn. We continue every weekend to make steps in the right direction. I keep thinking this car can't possibly get any faster and then bam another tenth is shaved. The suspension, tires, and brakes are starting to make some real music on this car!" (EVENT RESULTS)
