Default Racing at Monterey HISTORICS in Aug

Racing at Laguna Seca at Pre HISTORICS Aug 7&8 and 12-15 at Monterey HISTORICS. CORVETTE is featured marque. I’ve always wanted to race this one and w CORVETTE as featured marque just makes it better. They made me change my livery to VISIT FLORIDA but I love FL so we’re good

WH,

That's great! In the old days they were pretty snotty about what cars they let race. They wanted creme de la creme cars with history. Is your vette a special one with special history? Is it the DP in the hubbells bubbles picture you raced in Florida or a different car?

Congrats have fun and as they said at the driver's meeting,
"your car already has history, the only history you can make for it is bad history".
The 10 car was accepted but too many pandemic parts delays, still not ready, so had to decline.
Have fun and post up your video after the event.
Are you racing with the Masters race group?

it’s the car w the Bubbles but I had to wrap it in IMSA livery so I chose VISIT FLORIDA.

Great video, bring back so many memories of watching them up here in Portland. Miss those days so much!! Bob Sobey was always my favorite growing up.

I took 2nd in class today. Wasn’t me spinning. I have SPIRIT OF DAYTONA # 09. The other Corvette DP is VISIT FLORIDA but I have no idea if he spun.

I spun at 5 Fri during practice cus I hit the yellow elevated bit but no damage to me or car.

I'm still waiting for the GTP Corvette to be finished. Although, these are probably more fun to drive.
