Default Pictures of Corvettes from the Trans-Am at Watkins Glen last weekend

I usually spend my time in the C1/C2, C3 and Autocrossing & Roadracing Forums, but I thought these might be of interest to some of the C6 members.

I crew for a driver who vintage races a 65 Corvette. We were at Watkins Glen last weekend for a Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) race. As part of the weekend's racing activities, the SCCA Trans-Am was there also.

The following Corvettes were competing in the Trans-Am race. The white number 55 belongs to Kerry Hitt, a Forum member and the owner of Advanced Composites, a maker of custom and racing Corvette body panels. The white number 57 is driven by Dave Pintaric, who is also a Forum member.

Dave Pintaric had the pole, and led until he was sidelined by a transmission problem. The race was won by Doug Peterson, in the yellow #87 Corvette.

great pictures, and thanks for sharing !

Watkins Glen is just an amazing track...
I did a three-day HPDE there with my old P-928S back in 1997 ("the three days of Watkins Glen PCA Zone 1 event).
It was the best track experience of my life, for sure.
