Default C3 race car pics at the World Corvette Tribute

I am not good at links. If you search "Behind the scenes at the World Corvette Tribute", you can look at more pics if you like. Thought I would share a few here, just for you guys.
I put some in the C1/C2 section as well. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

C2 and C3 racers have such a stylish history. They just look fast, sitting static.

Great images, ts. Thanks for sharing and have you any more of C3's? I can imagine the music from so many 1st Gen motors.

Great pictures. I never get tired of looking at the Corvette vintage race cars. I bet the "sounds" were pretty exciting too.
Thanks for sharing.

My '69 was there. I don't post much over in C3, so for those who may not have seen mine... I'll be at Carlisle with it, so if anyone stops by say hello!

I saw the car. I think I have pics of it on my regular camera. The pics I post, are from my Android phone. Easier for me to instantly download to photobucket, and post. I have no computer. So this phone does it all for me.

Your car is sweet!

I have met them both a few times now. Terrific people. Bob gave me a few hot laps in a ZR1 during my class there. Took the 2 day ZR1 class. Amazing time!!

This photo of Bob and I, was taken by Pat, on saturday. [IMG][/IMG]
