Default Video from Grissom

Here is a video I took from a run at Grissom AFB in Peru, IN. This event was hosted by the Fort Wayne Corvette Club and The Corvette Club of Indiana.

Thanks for the vid. Was curious about surface and typical course set up there.

Dad and I will be going down on Friday to set up the course. We may stay in the motorhome overnight so we don't have the 1hr drive from our house in the morning. Whichever way i will be there Saturday (and Sunday).

The only thing I do know right now about how the course will be set up is at the far end, it won't be one big long sweeping arch. It will have at least a couple of turns in there. Dad never has liked those sweepers. It wears out the tires too much. We never know what the course is going to be like before we start setting it up. We just go out there and start "kicking cones"

I'm planning on being there this weekend. (Make it a fun course, it's a thousand mile round trip for me.)

I broke the left motor mount on my fourth run at last month's event, so it ended up being a short weekend for me.
