Thanks to Paul (NoVA Corvette Club Master Tech) who took a ton of great pictures and shared knowledge on best practices when tracking a Corvette. Excellent event.

Sideways and loving it.

I grew up in the Great White North and had a ton of time on ice and snow............and yes the RUN FLATS are easy to spin. I am hoping to replace them soon with some NON run flats.

Let’s get back on track. Here’s a cool pic that I cropped. 2 67’ L71s in my L76. It’s not shown in this picture because this was early, but they parked a 65 survivor Duntov fuelie right behind mine. It was breathtaking.
