Corvettes at Capitol
We had a great time at Vettes at Capitol yesterday. Ranger ran an 11.29 I think and someone in a red Z06 beat the one lone Viper RT10 that showed up. My son helped me detail the Z so well that we actually left with some hardware. Next year I'm going to skip the show and try the track. 
The weather was great and there were so many awesome cars there. I met several new friends including one who was a recent bronze star winner. First pic is of my son and I leaving for the show and the second is of our car shot from the bleachers.

Joe, sorry you didn't make it up. What an incredible day weather wise. I finished just out of the medals - 4th place. They gave out eight places though so I feel pretty good about it. So any hints on what you're doing to the Z?

Steve,
I must have walked right by your car about 4 times on sunday, and twice while you and your son were sitting behind it. I am so sorry I did not say hi
Anyways it looked great, I loved the fat tires out back, thats what I kept checking into LOL. Anyways sorry I missed you and I hope to meet you soon!
The DA for racing and new bests was terrible. On street tires the best I could do yesterday was a 12.62@112 with a 1.96 60" . My timeslips say track temp was 98 degrees! Maybe Ranger can chime in here with the DA at around 2 p.m. that day.
