I do like the idea of setting an agenda at the LGM paddock and doing it that way. You don't need to bring your stuff to the corral. The corral can come to you!

Yep ... A white board with dates, times and topics is all we need!

Just keep your eyes open for a bunch of guys in Corvette T-Shirts and Ball Caps ... with their Corvette Corral Passes On ... and have a few autographed posters to give out ... and we'll be there!

Lou had told me a while back $6,000 and then you had to buy X number of cars. That me be for a car like the C6R in 1:18 like they have and it may be just for a new paint and decal scheme. Would be sweet to go with my others. Come on Lou Woodhouse has a Viper!

Hi GUys,

Yes to the Corvette corral announcements. Is there a Corvette Corral at St Pete? If I look at the schedule, I can make a time and post it up here, then any of you that are going to the race, can make a poster to put in the Corral (If they let you)

Either way, I am all for it. (unless we crash in practice then you can come watch us rebuild the car)

And the Die Cast is on the front burner.

Thanks

Lou G

Here is the ALMS part of the schedule. Looks like the time right after the Autograph session and after qualifying will be the best time. But check this out and let me know for St Pete what time works best and we can do the "walk around" for the Corral and Corvette forum members

Yeah, I bet the problem lies at the rear end, too.

It's not just absolute "down force", but a front to rear "balance".

Yes she is! Aspen will be with us for the rest of the ALMS season and is a pleasure to have around I forgot LG's car was even in the background.

You coming to St Pete Dave?

YES! Can't wait . Do you know when the release date will be? And what company will be making them? And it will be 1/18 right?

Good luck with the season Lou! Really pulling for you guys! Don't let me down! (nice to have a little pressure huh? )

Good luck this year Lou ! I was watching the race but they did not seem to have much coverage of you and your car

If you need help with the Canadian language, I just live 5 mins away. I'll be glad to help I have been in Texas 12 years now, and i'm told I still have my Canadian accent . Old habits are hard to loose eh ? I have a collection of Bob and Doug Mackenzie videos, Trailer Park Boys, and Canadian Bacon that will help you out.

Default No corvette corral at St.Pete this year

I was at the corral last year in St.Pete and when I noticed on the ALMS site there was no corral I emailed Roc at NCM. He said several were cancelled this year but did not say who was responsible for the decision. We had a lot of fun there last year and its a bummer there is no participation this year. Bad economy?
