The speed limit(ish) it is. I spent all day today tuning my car without getting pulled over so I think I've used up all of my good luck for awhile.

It’s good to start out the day a little slow; the last run started that that way.
But on the way back it looked like this a few times.

Well, my car puked a bunch of oil out the bottom today. I need to check it out and see what is going on. When I changed the oil recently I saw oil in the area of the rear cover. I hope that this doesn't screw things up for the drive...

So how does this work guys? We go out together and drive and drive the tires off 'em? I've done this and other similar routes 30 years ago (I'm sure others here have do) when the traffic was so much less of an issue. I find it very frustrating these days which is why I love the track. That said the idea of doing it with a bunch of other Vette's does have it's appeal. And hey the aspen are turning.

Heads, cam, headers, Vortech supercharged 93 coupe.

If you have ever been to Corvette Track days in Pahrump you may have seen the car. We've been to 3 or 4 of them with the car.
