Petit Le Mans Testing Photos
Hi Guys,
As some of you know, we spent the last month or so rebuilding the GT2 Corvette for this race.
We tested it last weekend, mostly in the rain.
Here are some pictures of the
"Hot Shot Corvette GT2" that John Dagys took.
Thanks for all the support guys.

Great pics Lou and good to see you back on the track.
BTW: Got the GT2 coilovers on on Saturday. Need to get it aligned - BADLY - but the ride feels great and NO WHEELHOP!!!
Kevin
EDITED: Lou, thanks for taking the time to speak with me on the phone this morning and giving me some tips on setting up the coilovers.

Not many shops that can back up their claims with their own race car. Looks awesome.
