Default Post pictures of C4 Race Cars
Anyone interested in seeing pics of C4 road racers ???

They don't need to be pictures of a car you own, any neat C4 on track would be interesting and fun to see.

I can start the thread moving w/ pics of my red 1985 C4 Coupe at a recent track day:

Looking good! Cool thread idea. Did you add the CHMSL to your '85?

Nice car and trailer! I like the venting in the back.
What's under the hood, how much power?

We really enjoy AM LeMans and Champ car. Its a great track and a great place to watch races.

Here's my hero, JeffyVette's 396 Open Road Race Vette. :Original paint


OOPS! A BLOW OUT


All fixed and rolling again with new look


And here's a pic of his Gramin showing 206 mph


and here's a link to a short video of what the 396 Vette looks like from road side as he passes at over 200mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrSKw...e=user&search=

Jeff is a member of the Open Road Racing's coveted 200mph club
It takes a lot of car and driving skill to drive an Open Road for 100 miles or more at those speeds!!! Few ever reach this goal.
