Default Vette cam race video

Here's a video from inside my Vette during our annual mid winter Corvette meeting at Lake Taupo, New Zealand......

I've spent the last year getting my Vette prepped for this event....rebuilt engine, cooling system, brakes and suspension...and I wasn't disappointed

All generations of Corvettes attended and raced in this event, and we were even blessed with the presence of a race prepped 69 big block!!!!

Enjoy the video......

Hey Standup,
Did you really need the map in the pocket to get around the course
Looks like you had fun. In Aus we have the leadfoot trophy between the clubs in Vic, NSW and ACT. each year it is held at a different track and hosted by one of the clubs involved. This year it is at Winton.
Coming over?

near Benalla Victoria. a round of the V8 supercars is held there.
It's held around the Melbourne cup weekend in November. I will check the date for you.
I take it you drink the cheap rum.
I only drink the good bourbons.
