I have never heard of Badboyvettes that they were just talking about. I guess I will have to check it out since they had such a big effect on the paint scheme this weekend.

Some people don't like the "Jake" paint job, but I think those cars look badass no matter what color they are!

That's some really cool stuff. A little expensive, but I like it. I may get a T-shirt too.

We parked in the Corral with a sold out 250 corvettes, 3 c1's, 2 c2's and 2 c3's You know what the rest were Here's a couple of pic's...most of them came out like the latter Looks like I could have used a faster shutter speed. BTW, the C-6R's have a sound all their own!!! Muddy

I watched it. Vettes need some competition! Maybe next year....

I'll be at Sebring, and I'm going to try to make Legun Seca, but it's a hell of a treck from Florida.

Hey, I was there. The Corvettes sound just like the old big block Can Am cars. You can tell the two Corvettes apart because one has a yellow nose, the other has a black nose. The parking lot was full of Vettes, NSX's and Ferraris. The NSX's and Ferraris got to do a parade lap on the course. Four hours is a long long race. I can't imagine 12 hours at Sebring or 24 hours at Lemans. Is this your car Muddy? Very nice LT-1. You are right, not many C3s.
