Got a call from the boss, who was at the race, and he said there was a big parade of corvettes at the race. Mostly C5 verts.

you know the economy is bad when they set the biggest race of the 2009 season and lead off the drivers in C5 verts......

Nothing wrong with C5 verts and I saw where the PC was the new Camero with Cole Trickle at the wheel.....

By the middle of the season I expect to a flex fuel Toyota as the PC

I'm taking part in the parade lap for the next NASCAR race in California next week. They put out a call for 43 local vettes to participate in the driver intros.

See thread from the socal forum:

Should be a thrill. Hopefully I can take a few pics.

My brother in-law is part of security at the track. He told me that a Corvette club was there and they invited them to run on the track. Don't know what club or if it's even accurate. I came to this region hoping to read more about it.
