Default Veteran Track Drivers

Hi,

I'm looking for the veteran track drivers that have been running the C6 for a few seasons.

I'm a driver that's been campaigning another marque for a few years, and am looking to get back into Corvettes for a track day car that's still (barely) streetable.

For now, horsepower is not a problem. Am looking for what works in the suspension department. I read that these cars also need additional cool air, not only to the engine, but to the transmission and wheels as well. Also, driver safety - belts, seat, etc. What are you guys running?

Can anyone that's experienced (> 10 events) share what's required to have a safe, reliable car for track days?

PS: I've read part of the epic threads about valve drops in some of these cars. Would like to not recreate them here. Thanks.
