So in this sea of crazy people buying cars at in some cases 3x more than what they were worth. This guy comes walking up to my wife and I. Turns out to be Keith Valone All these people EVERYWHERE and he finds me to come and talk cars.
From what he told me the motor in the Z that he's taking to the Nationals is bad assed. He says he shifts it smoothly and effortlessly at 7800 rpms
Keith, good seeing you out there along with a few other Corvette buddies.

Just came from the track NO I did not race One of the racers DINO , had this cool participant decal made for me so I installed it when I got home. A few of our guy's have them Mine however is the only QUICKSilver one. Thanks brother
