Nice job keeping your head pointed toward the next turn- you look like the STIG!. Your car looks great, I love AW (ordered one myself) and Barber in Leeds, AL is amazing- such a technical and beautiful track. I blew the engine in a Porsche race car there. That was expensive!

At the time of the photos the car was lowered near maximum on stock bolts.

I now have it lowered max. and had a track alignment (per specs in owners manual) done.

It is on the factory tires.

"Did you get any lap times"? None I would want to publish

It was my first event with the car and I was just trying to get familiar with it. Concentrating mostly on the turns and running maybe 80% on the straights and short shifting at 5800.

Not to mention trying to figure out which mode I should be in.


Yea I know that does not sound like fun but it was a BLAST.

Had almost no negative camber on left front and it cornered like it was on rails. I have had it realigned.

So let's just say I was in the 1:40s. That gives me a big window.

Cool pictures. The Vette looks like it belongs on a track.
