Default Corvette pics from Mission Raceway

Went to the local track yesterday and was supprised how many Vettes were represented in a number of different race classes.

I talked to the white C5 driver who has raced her car quite regularly the last two years in the Friday Night Drags. For $35 you get up to 10 passes..... I'm thinking I should try this! Her '99 is a stock auto with street slicks and she dialed in at 12.86 and got as far as the second round.













This Mach 1 was the best tow vehicle!



Another tow vehicle!



A few other cars that I really liked.






This Shoebox is awesome! Looked great going down the track - no wheelies just business!



Finally, a video of a couple of alcohol cars doing 1/2 track burnouts!
