I went to MIS today and here are two pictures. There were a total of 240 corvettes that were there. We could only go 40mph on the track. There were cops at every turn. I thought I was going to roll off the banking going between 30 and 40mph.
That's me with my car.

Pretty cool Buckeye. Looks great. Whats the emblem behing the gill on the fender?I'm assuming this is for the Indy race today. We did the Coca-Cola 600 parade lap and it was cool especially since it was the first time I've ever done anything like that.

Yep this was the Firestone 400. I have never been to a race before. I didn't know it was so loud. My hands were covering my ears every time the cars came by the grand stand. The badging is the Z51 that I got from Michael at complete dreams.

Your car looks amazing. I love the DSOM on the sun. Looks like you had a really good time.
P.S. The fashion police is looking for you.

I got the painted rims with the car. A few months later I swapped them for some chrome ones. I also have the six piece painted engine covers from vetteshop.cc.
