Fun day,and those clubs did a good job...46 Vettes and one Camaro ran the autocross..I did not get my 78 ready in time for the race because I had to fix an ignition glich in the 69...
In all my Corvette years,this was the first time I've seen four Corvette events at the same venue in one day...something for everyone...rain early kind of delayed things a bit..(but my 69 wipers worked like a champ)..my iginition switch is fixed...it went out of adjustment causing a short..like to drove me nuts figuring that one out..but a forum member said to check the switch..and he was right...
How is your vette running ?

Those are great pics you put up. Corvettes of San Diego, Vettes R Us and the San Diego Corvette Club thank all that attended the event. It was a very enjoyable day. Our next event will be Corvette Dreamin on May 21st. We have a spot for every and any Corvette.

She did some seat time with me when I was doing Novice runs back in the day, and she gave me some pointers, and was surprised that I was able to keep my FWD Saturn under control when the rear end broke loose.
*sigh* I just wish my Vette were DRIVEABLE. If it were, I'd have come down in it to check out the guys running...Oh well.
