I'll let you know if I move out there. At the end of February I may get the boot from my current situation. Maine is an option because I'd be closer to my father whom I haven't seen in 5+ years. He and I could work on his Studebaker Avanti and my Corvette together.

That is a cool shot of the SS Camaro behind you. It looks like it the last lap and you are hanging it all out for the lead.

I don't know about being in the lead, but i was definitely hanging it all out. Right on the edge of a spin.

Cool pics Turtle. I think I see the nose of my friend's blue Z06 in one of them. I think he told me that he had FTD of the "closed wheel" cars.
I'm mad that COM lost its date at The Glen this year. Well, not so much lost as they raised the price to the point where it's not economically feasible ($5k increase in track costs). Oh well, now I'm going to have to come back east and run an NHIS event. My dad offered to trailer the Spec Miata up to Mt Tremblant if I'd meet him up there. I just might.
Thanks for representing the C3 for me since I moved. It's been a few years since I last ran my car with COM. Some people ask why the heck you're running a 30 year old POS and other give you a pat on the back for having the guts to do it. Either way, it is fun.

I love Lime Rock, I camp there (RV) with my familt on July 4th weekend we were also there this year for the Burham 200. I've been contemplating building up a C3 to run in the Classic GT class, it'll be a track car only if I do.

I am currently working on a 383 stroker. My long-term goals include an overly built suspension (5-link rear, composite springs front & rear, race shocks, all the goodies) and a smallblock 427 based on an LS_ block.

Way to go Turtle
The Z0-6's only had 405 hp and with mods maybe 440 hp. All you need to beat them down the straights is more power. Vipers out on the track generally only have low 500 hp.
