Default HPDE fun Speed Ventures

Had another great time at the track. It was real hot,but I managed to do a 1:44.7. My personal best, A tenth quicker than my previous time. The hot weather definitely robbed some HP too. My plan next is to throw on some Sport Cup tires. Some pics and a video of yesterdays outing..

wow, car looks great. I'm addicted to the track and would LOVE to get up to Seca for a few days. How did you lower your car, and how does it handle on the track? Alos, what rear wing are you running, and do you actually feel the rear held down any better than the stock wing?

Thank you Sav. I lowered the car an inch and quarter. Lowered it by the lowering bolts.PFADT inverted, adjustable shocks. I had a semi aggressive alignment done to the car. Running -1.8 camber fronts, and -1.0 on the rears. The car handles , feels real good. The rear wing is from Katech, front splitter APR..

nice, great info! Are you running hoosiers? how's the outside tire wear with that camber adjusted? I corded a set of brand new hoosiers after 2 track days on stock set up.

Lee, you should post your video on the Corvette Challenge Laguna Seca Download thread. There will be many others posting theirs as well.

Please check in on the SoCal section for all Corvette Challenge events and other track days that I put together during the year. Also you can check the Competition Section on Speed Ventures.

Hope you can make more Corvette Challenge events. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions
