Default Roar before the 24 - chasing bugs

I was at the Roar before the 24 watching the Corvette team and chatting with them. I noticed a level of concern on the faces of the tuners and in the conversations with the drivers. When I talked to a couple of the team members they said that they were trying to get more speed on tap. Working the wheels and the tuner computer seemed to be a focus of the team.

The team smiles and chats after the laps seemed to be brighter and a bit more cheerful with some laughs and smiles. I must assume that their efforts were successful to at least some degree.

But I guess we will shortly find out when the cars get in their real competitive mode. Good luck to the team. We are very strongly behind you.

Can't wait to see the race.
