Default 2016 One Lap of America

Looks like there are a bunch of corvettes running this year. Who's on here?

This will be our second year, first in a corvette. Placed 16 overall in 2014 in a subaru.

What tires are you guys running? We will probably be on square 275 z2 star specs.

Shaky dog racing will be there with three Corvettes this year. We are bringing two 2015 Z06's and a C6 Z06. I was driving the yellow C5 Corvette that came in fifth place last year.



Crazy frog will be there as well.

What kind of Corvette will you be running? Most all of us on the Michelin super sport

Not 100% sure yet. Either a very lightly modded 98 z51 or a moderately modded 03 z06 (h/c/i, sways, brakes).

What makes you guys choose the MPSS over a stickier tire?

They wear great and are as fast as the "stickier" tires in the long run. They allow younto run more aggressive settings without wearing out by the end of the event.
