Hi, my name is Brad and I live in TN. I've got a cyber-gray, 2012 1LT Coupe. It's lightly modified with a Pfadt Racing suspension kit (shocks and sway-bars), a 390 final gear, SLP exhaust, upgraded pads, and a couple of appearance upgrades. I bought the car not realizing that it didn't have a dry-sump oiling system. My bad. I still love it though, but it's not made for the road-course.

I've had a few other Corvettes over the years, two of which were Phoenix-built SCCA club-racing cars. I started doing HPDEs in 1998 and then club- racing in 2001. I've held an SCCA National Racing license most of the time since then. I sold my last race car 4 or 5 months ago (Phoenix built, Hutter Racing engine, old STO/new T1 class car) and quit racing. I may get back into racing at some point, or at least do HPDEs, but that will be with my next Corvette. I've got a few old friends on the forum and I'm hoping that I'll be able to contact them via it. Thanks for reading...
