Default RideTech Corvettes Share Success This Past Weekend




This past weekend found the RideTech Road Show at the Bloomington Gold Corvette event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. With thousands of Corvettes of literally every shape and color, it can be a little bit of a challenge to stand out; but not on the autocross! Jason and Tom took the white C7 and the black C5 and gave more than 50 lucky participants rides on the challenging course. This was the second year since this show has come to the Speedway, and with the multiple other facets happening at this event, it was certainly the place to be for everything Corvette!!





After having a blast at the Bloomington show, Tom and Amanda took the black and silver cars to their local SCCA event. They came in 1st and 2nd on street tires, and 3rd & 5th fastest overall!! Congratulations on a great event!! See times below...

Absolutely! The C3 has actually had a super busy schedule this year. Due to just finishing power tour though, we decided to give it's driver the weekend off

If you are hoping to catch the 48 Hour Corvette in action this summer, see here for it's 2016 schedule.

I have ridetech single adjustable for my c4 and just couldn't get them to work well. Went back to bilstein, much better now. Maybe I need to send them in for revalving, I think compression damping is to soft.

Were you running a CoilOver setup or as a stand alone shock with the Traverse Leafs? Do you know what the stroke length was front and rear?
