Skunk pictures
Couple pics that a friend took for me yesterday...Enjoy
I am so happy with the car, two of my friends just bought c5's one a 00 FRC and the other a 02 Z06. I was afriad that the Grand Sport would not beable to compete with the newer C5's, however we attended an all Corvette AutoX this weekend where I managed to beet both of them (all on street tires) an win my class by almost two seconds over a national champ on Victor Racers.
I was approched by the man who scored Fastest Time of the Day (Z06 CCWs and Hoosiers) He has been in AutoXing for 10 years and said that I have a real natural talent, and had great car control. As if my head wasn't growing fast enough he told me that if I mounted up hoosiers I would be a National Champion with out a doubt in his mind. He seemed more exicted than I was! :eek:
This came as a shock to me I have been to about 5 autoX's and had never lost but I really didn't know what my compition was (usually only 1-2 cars enter in A-Stock) until this weekend. Maybe I should look into expanding on my "skill" that people have noticed.
Don't count the C4's out yet ! :cheers:

Great pictures :thumbs: Have you lowered the GS or does it just "appear" lower because of the grass in the pictures :confused:
Congratulations with your AutoX win! Sounds like it's time to buy a set of slicks! :yesnod: :)

I have lowered the car useing the Mid America kit, I choped both the upper and lower side bushing on the front spring and used the bolts in the back to give in a small grate when sitting but it levels out when I'm driving :cheers:

Re: Skunk pictures (MongooseLT4)
Wait a sec, you lowered your car by changing the springs and then competed and won a stock class :crazy: I mean it's cool you won :cool: but in my region you can't change spring in AS. I have to run in BSP partly because my springs were changed to softer ones (I'm not trying to compete much... )
Cool pics and victory over your friends :thumbs: , but I'm a little confused :confused:
:cheers:
