HI Everyone! I started vintage racing a few years ago, and for the 6+ years before that I’ve been knee-deep building a restaurant. I forgot how much fun collecting old Corvettes was. I never really stopped, just didn’t dig in as hard as I have now, there was a small period of time with no Corvettes… and I will never look back! I got six in the stables now, most of them are C1 and C2… But I couldn’t help myself on a couple of historical C4’s.
(2) 60’s 8 days and two worlds apart! One a purpose built race car since 1960, the other packing its original registration from 4-28-60
Grown up hot wheels
1988 Corvette Challenge Car #22
Freshly scored One owner 60! Original paint, motor, keys and owners manual! Had to move #5 down the street to moms hot wheel garage, #22 is next! 496 Stroker Power Windows/ Headrests!!!!
Are either of you Pacific Northwesterners going to the Yakima show next month? They put on a really nice show. I know of one other CF member that will be there. I would like to meet other members and see what you got!
We have Cars N Coffee in the parking lot at my restaurant Jake’s Pickup located inside the Chevron/Hungry Bear Market on Bainbridge Island every Friday morning at 9 AM. Out there this morning with my 66.
Aside from that, we have a car show the last Tuesday or Thursday of every month starting this month through August… When I find out Tuesday or Thursday I will respond to this thread.
yes, I will be racing at Pacific Riceway this summer in number 111 the 1960 Corvette. I think I will also be racing at the Ridge in Shelton June 10-12. That will be my first racing of the season, as I had broken my arm about eight weeks ago… And have a slow start to the season.
if anybody is interested in coming to watch me race, let me know! was love to meet some other forum members at the track, and convince you to go race with me!
You certainly have some nice cars.
I just have my coupe (winter car) and my convertible (summer car) as I can only drive one at a time and no longer have the room or time to maintain mor than that with my 72 El Camino and RZR900 I have my hands full.
Give us some details on #111, looks like a lot of fun.
#111 is in the registry of Corvette Racecars.
She is a 1960 Corvette that was sourced specifically to go club racing. She was originally delivered to Dave MacDonald and Bill Thomas. Dave put it in his mothers backyard and turned it into a club racer for their friend Doug Niccoli. It’s been a race car it’s entire life.
I am giving it a second career at Vintage Racing. 84 year old Larry Webb & I have been developing it for three years now.
She runs on big drum brakes, with sintered metallic shoes! She runs Rochester fuel injection on the correct 283. She is up to snuff to be accepted at Monterey. The goal is to get me on the same level. I’ve only run her at Pacific raceways so far, but my first scheduled race outside of Pacific raceways will be at the ridge in Shelton June 10-12 God willing! She’s a lot of fun, and the first race car I’ve ever built and campaigned. I can feel every square inch of the track through my butt & feet in this amazingly well prepared car! Going in to turn one at around 130+ miles an hour in a solid axle with drum brakes is fun, but going into turn eight, which is kind of a carousel, is one of the best rides on earth!
