Default Kool old Vette from yester year!

I used to have all kinds of old racing 8 1/2 by 11 blown up pictures decorating my office. Sadly they just reside in my home office in a desk drawer now. I was digging for something to do with 2018 taxes and came across these old memories.

In the late 80's I started racing my vette at different tracks SCCA and this bad to bone BBC vette was there for this event at Sears Point. It really inspired me to improve my vette. Always wondered what happened to this Vette because I never saw it again in the past 30 years.

We were all fired up to go out on the track and I snapped the picture.
