Minnesota takes 2 of the top three spots. People think that we only know how to play hockey. I think MN is the place to be. Wait a minute, I drove into a 3 foot snow drift on my way to work.

We at Zip are stoked about Leighton's times! 
As some of you may know, Leighton runs a race prepared rear differential that we supply, built by the same people here that build all of our differentials that you can have built for your Corvette.
We feel that if the rear can hold up to Leighton's abuse, they can stand up to anything.
Thanks Leighton, way to represent ZIP and you other sponsors!!

Minnesota is a very interesting place to live that is forsure. Our summers are hot and humid, the springs are rainy. The falls are great then come the long hard cold winters.
Now the plus side of living here. 10,000+ lakes, I drive by 4 lakes in 20 miles to work but don't own a boat
. The winters give us a ton of time to work on racecars and play in the bedroom. That's about it I guess. I almost forgot, us Minnesotains know how to drive!!!!

So much for that Skyline being a contender, unless he is really working on sandbagging. I figured there would be more fight in that car.
Oh Randy Minnesota sucks as long as you have the Vikings! Oh yeah and we have more lakes than you do so what do you think of that!

I lived in Minn when I was a kid, don't remember it...got stuck there coming in from Europe during the blizzard in 99...Man it was nippy, about -25 without wind chill...that's cold enough to kill a guy.
My dad told me the lakes are beautiful but you gotta watch out for the skeeters. Plus the people talk funny. J/K enjoy Minnesota.

Your right, 208, he emailed me before I saw the results from Speed. It was just mis-typed in the e-mail. Still a track record and that is great for the Corvette community.
