Man, that looks nice! Very, Very nice!

Put some insulation on the driver's side or you'll be a crispy critter.

What's your 1st event with NASA?

Thanks guys! I am so excited about the car and cant wait to get out there. The interior paint matches the mag red I exterior color ('98) which I think looks amazing.

RIght now, I have a couple HPDE's schedule so I can get used to the car - CMP next weekend, VIR in June, and the NCM event. Between now and July, I will look to get signed up for the NASA comp schoool and get out there in ST2 sometime this fall.


BTW, does anyone know where you can get Corvette Racing decals?

Looks great, Ryan. Phoenix does great work. Did you put an LS6 in it or stick with the LS1?

No A/C, just the defrost

Kept the LS1 for now...the plan is for a new ls6 crate motor in the winter time...spending wisely and race cars is a hard balance to keep

I was also looking for ones that actually said "corvette racing" like the flags...I think Jody has something similar on his car.

Do you mean like this one, Ryan?



Bob Mayer might know where to get them since it was in the car when I bought it.
