I had a wheel bearing fail last time out at Buttonwillow. As I was digging into the repair I couldn't in good conscience reuse any of the 9 year old stock hubs, bushings, or suspension.

So I took some time off, saved some money, and bought all new suspension components (coilovers, sway bars, race hubs, and bushings). I also sold my ZR1 rims with PS2's and bought a CCW/R6 set up.

I will probably spend the morning on the Pilot Super Sports getting used to the changes in the car and then put the R6's on in the afternoon.

Looking forward to getting back on track! Hopefully I still remember how to drive.

Hopefully going to this or the OTR day or both.

Tires are probably too old for the desired 29.9 but that won't stop me from trying

Good for you Nick ! I am sure you will see a huge difference in your lap times straight away ! When I upgraded my c5 z06 this year, so much easier to drive on the limit ! Cut my Buttonwillow laptime cw13 from 2.04 to 1.51 ( ok - quite a bit to do with learning the track also !)
Will not be at willow springs as do not like the track. Sure to see you at either spring mountain,CVR, buttonwillow or Laguna next year.

Thanks Richard! That is an impressive Buttonwillow time. I am very curious to see how my times improve with the changes to the car.

Did you see that Circuit of The Americas in Austin, TX is on the Speed Ventures schedule next year? That would be quite a drive.

I am a very keen track rat Nick but not quite keen enough to drive to Austin !

Thanks for the warning about "the Dodge", whatever that is. Us SRT guys will also keep on the lookout for this "Dodge" threat. Lucky for you that you can "dodge" the problem by conveniently going to a wedding.

Forget about space or dodge the space, let's put that SRT in the cross hairs.

Yeah, like I don't know that I'm already a target. The tension is in the air. I'll do my best to pass it along.

I really, really, really hate to bring this up, but Motor Trend just reported that Randy Pobst could only do four laps in the new 7-speed C7 Z06 before an oil temp warning came on and he had to coast back into the pits. This occurred on an 85 degree day.

After my year it makes me glad I didn't try to order a new Z06, have to wait for it, and then find out that it would overheat after four laps.

I just got back from a ONE WEEK ban from the Corvette Forum. But they let SRT guys come on here and shoot their mouths off about the new C7Z06.

I may not be driving but that doesn't mean I don't know how to stir the pot

PS: still want a ride

I think they let me on because I still have so many Corvette parts in my garage.

I look forward to giving you a ride. But let's wait until after the rain stops. It's enough of a handful to drive in the dry.
