Fastest IRS Record
I think to this day we hold the title of the fastest IRS vette. If I am wrong please let me know, I would love to hear about other fast IRS vettes.
Here is a video of mine....http://speedwaycorvettes.com/IRSfastestC4.html 8.40 @ 173 back in the summer of 2002.

!PS. Is that car still together? I heard it was broken up. I hope I am wrong. If it is still running how about bringing it down to the Vette Doctors Pro 8 for some competition?

I assume you're keeping it a six speed?

We are hoping to run an 8 supercharged but I doubt if we will get close to Paul Major's C5 run.

It is now an AutoMatic using the Yank TH400 setup Paul and the Vette Doctors perfected.
Allan,
Tell Doug and Chris to stop wasting time on the blue car and for god sake finish the Green Car! You have been waiting way too long for that thing!

Very Cool I stand corrected I guess I will have to stand for the C5 record. I heard about this car a while back but no one was able to give me a link to it very impressive. I hope we get to see that car at some up comming events.
