Default Proud C4

I competed in the Annual Corvette Magic race at Sacramento Raceway yesterday. It was a long day, but I ended up winning the Bracket 1 category and also ended up winning the whole event taking the "King of the Hill" trophy. There were over 75 cars running and it was good to see a C4 compete with Corvettes of all years and ending up the big winner.

Thanks all. dizwiz, Even though the car looks relatively stock, it has been on a trailer for almost 15 years. It has a race motor in it; no smog, open headers, 4.35 gears, etc, etc. It is deadly consistant and a lot of fun. The first round yesterday, my opponent was dialed at 9.50. I managed to cut a .000 light and had a feeling it was going to be my day.

You make it sound easy. Im sure it takes a lot of effort to get it done on the track, the way you do.
