Default A&A Corvette Autocross videos. 7/22/2012.

If the car is just going to sit in my garage, I might as well take it out. You see, I posted it for sale, but I guess to many drivers need A/C. This track had it all. It was fast, slow, wide, skinny and no time to text your friends. I'm glad I took it out.
1st. overall out of 80 cars.

Here is Saturday's pracitce with the stock C5 Z06 with street tires. Different track and club. Co-driver riding with me. Sounded like we had a lot of fun.

Maybe I should just raise the rev-limiter to 7500 rpm. Then no more bouncing off of it.

Damn, those PCA setups are fast!
If your car is for sale, what's next?
Something with a passenger seat, please.

I believe I saw you testing out a Cayman S on race tires while I was working the slalom section on Saturday practice.
If that was you, I think that should be your next car cause you absolutely ripped through that entire section from entering the left turn, slalom, u turn, the kink, and past the diamond.
Corvettes all seemed fast through that section, but that Cayman S seemed to charge just as angrily!

As you know I have Hodges 2004 Z06 to drive. That was me in the Cayman S. Super fun car to drive. I do have an opportunity to drive that Porsche also on a limited basis.
