Better knock me off that list of attendees, 86 is still in the shop, and even if it gets out my weekends may not be free soon. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case I can still swing by to watch the fun. Have a good time guys!

Absoluetely. Also, you only need 500 miles to break the car in. I have seen others race their cars before 500 miles, but I believe in erring on the side of caution.

This such a fun autoX that every Vette owner should attend. It KILLS me that I can't make it this time around. I LOVE going faster in my 67 than doje goes in his C5. I mean, I WOULD love it if it were true!

By the way, the National Weather Service shows "partly cloudy" for both Saturday & Sunday....

I would like to put out a VERY BIG THANKS to everyone who attended SCC's events this weekend.
The Saturday Test & Tune got off to a late start, but everyone ended up getting 45+ minutes of fundamentals practice followed by 7 runs on the Auto-X course.
The Sunday Auto-X had a smaller than normal crowd due to the threat of rain that the weather guessers put out for the last week. We still had a great time - especially learning that in the "Suicide Slalom" faster can be slower.
For those that stayed home because of the weather, WE DID NOT GET A SINGLE DROP OF RAIN.
Thanks again everyone - I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Next event: 2-Day Auto-X on May 27 & 28.
