ah, the joys of convertible ownership..It would not be a problem w/a coupe

oh yeah! This event is being held at my home track and I race my vert there! (See signature pic)

Hope to see you there....it's a great event!

Not really into drag racing, I might do it a little, but to me, Vettes are more for road racing, HPDE's, and autocross!

Nothing against drag racing, though, whatever suits you!

Sounds like fun.

I race occasionally, but that's a bit too far.

Enjoy!!!!!

I prefer the lap after lap of road racing over the quick 1/4 mile.
