I have though about how to do it before and it just isn't nice. The hard top requires the top to be down. It may be possible to get the tires in the front seat and luggage/tools in the back, but it is rough.
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.
