I haven't raced the '68 since April.. I'm waiting for cooler temps to get the best possible ET... It's way too hot right now... It's around 90 degrees right now with high humidity.. I expect to race the '68 again in November to see what the car will run.. Anything under 11.80's would be disappointing...

At the Corvette Challenge I race my C5 Vert... which isn't that fast.. because it's 100% stock... Well - I would need a rollbar if I would mod the C5.. and I don't want to put a rollbar into it...

not as far as you did.... :D :D

It's around 220 miles from Miami to the track.. However - I always drive to Miami to Clearwater on Friday night...(280 miles). Then I drive from Clearwater to Bradenton (60 miles), then back to Clearwater (another 60 miles).. and on the next day back from Clearwater to Miami Beach...
It's actually more than 600 miles..
