This car is a front running Touring Challenge for Corvettes car and will make a good car to stay in the Touring Challenge for Corvettes, SCCA ITE or BP classes along with NASA wheel to wheel and time trial classes. It would also make a very safe, reliable and cheap dedicated track car for HPDE.

I really really like this car. One reason I like it so much is because Danny built it. I'l list it on my blog this morning.

Richard, Thanks for listing it and the nice editorial.

A few people have asked for pics of the rear frame. So I loaded the pics on photobucket and here is the link http://s375.photobucket.com/albums/o...cing/Corvette/

Mat,

I'm surprised you have Wilwood calipers. Danny is really big on stock Corvette brakes. He loves stopping faster with his stock calipers than the guys with the big Brembo and Alcon packages.

Two things I've learned from Danny:

Stock Calipers work really well if you know what you're doing

It's all about torque - horsepower is just for bragging rights

The stock calipers do work well when set up correctly and I ran for many years on them. The TCC allowed the upgrade and for me it was a cost deal. The pads are thicker and last much longer, they are also available in more compounds and are cheaper even for the same compound. Near the end of the J55 set up pads were costing over $200 and lasting one event. The pads on the wilwoods were $120 and lasted a few weekends.
Once I started to run them I also realized they were better in the heat and for the duration of the race than the thinner stock pads.

I listed a C4 Morrison clone today. The seller doesn't tell us much about the car but i would love to know who has the molds for the Morrison body panels.

Richard,
I know who owns the Morrison molds and 2 or maybe all 3 of the Morrison Snakeskinner cars. PM me for the information, I am not sure he would want this info out to the public.

Brett Richmond

The owner would not want his information out in the public I would think, now the wing on the clone is from the mold of the original race car. The owner of the Morrison cars help out this guy because his car didn't have the wing to go with the rest of the bodywork.

I have relisted the car on Ebay for $15000 and will include the spares. E-mail me MACRacing24 at Yahoo dot com if you are interested.

It's been all drag racers lately. I finally found a track day C4 that's really cheap. The owner doesn't tell use much about the car but for $6,500 how much do you need to know? It runs and it's got a 6-speed. You can always take the Greenwood c*ap off the car. Oh - you like it? Sorry about that.

Its amaizing to see how low the price has dropped on race cars / track cars in general.

rfn026

I'm watching nice race cars go on eBay four or five times. The owners just keep listing them and never get any bids. It's a bad market. I think the problem is how much money it costs to run a car these days.

A group of us were comparing expenses at Sebring a few weeks back. A track day is going to cost you a thousand dollars a day when you start adding it all up. A track day!

Run five or six times a year and you may be hitting the food budget. At the very least you're cutting into the family vacation fund.

I track my racing expense very closely and the corvette cost around $1000 a day to be at the track. The D-car is a little cheeper at 700 to 800 per day. So its an expense not a lot of people want right now.

Combine that with a pure race car or pure track car and you have the expense of a trailer and tow rig to add to the cost of the car. The trend for a few years has been away from W2W racing to HPDE and things like NASA TT and I would say dual purpose vehicles and being able to drive to the track is pushing things that way.

rfn026

I agree that the future seems to be in dual purpose cars. A friend of mine runs a 996 Porsche. He drives to the track in air conditioned comfort and has his day of fun. You can do the same thing in a C5 or C6.

The first modification you make is the start of a long slippery slope. The final blow is when you put a dam*n cage in a really nice street car. Now you no longer have a street car. You need a truck and trailer. The budget is shot to h*ll and your wife starts to call it "that car".

I know exactly the "that car" title. I started in a stock C4 and now have two race cars in the garage. My wife's street car sat out all winter because of it. Not that I want two race cars but thats the reality of it now.

I wonder also if the pendulum will swing back to single use cars over time, not just full on race cars but, track only and race cars. For two reasons, like you said we never seem to be happy with the cars performance and start modifying and soon enough its not street legal or safe on the street. The other reason is overall safety. I see very fast cars on the track and open passing with no safety beyond stock. So will we see rules in the future to add safety to the cars or slow the faster cars down. Either way making more track only cars.
