No track day, no road trip story to talk about. But my daily drive Monday to Friday is more fulfilling. Being a hospice nurse, I get to visit patients who are in their last days. In comes Covid19, making an already challenging times for the family and the patients even more so. This yellow machine takes me to my destination, to do my job to comfort the sick and their family. I’ve met a few patients who are Corvette owners, that 5 minutes of conversation made them feel alive and normal, even for a brief moment.



Getting ready for work

Two safety devices. Two different stories.

My car is a 2017 Grand Sport Collector's Edition, #485 and it is the perfect track car!

When you purchase a new Corvette, you get a Chevy subsidized driving school at Spring Mountain in Pahrump, Nevada. Having gone to several owner's schools, I decided to step it up and attend the Level 1 and Level 2 schools and that built up my confidence to know how to handle these cars so much so that I finally became a member of a local racetrack(Eagles's Canyon) instead of going to a few open track days per year. A perfect day for me is heading out to the track, having great camaraderie with fellow drivers, and letting all of the cares of the world slip away. Driving and talking cars is one of the few things that makes me forget about the stresses of life - nothing like being on the track, learning from others, and finding a new line to decrease your lap times or passing another car or driver that was once faster. Below is a picture of the car.

Eagle’s canyon is a great track! I used to attend some of their open track days when I lived in Greenville,TX.

Can you please make this tire in a 305/30/19 and 325/30/19 for a 2021 Camaro ZL1 1LE. It would be a great tire for Time Trials.
