The slacks are a 'give away' to that question - he's definitely a racer! LOL

Definitely a racer! Dead giveaway is the applicator being used over the hatch/rear quarter seam line. EVERY waxer knows that gets material down in the joint where it can make a mess.

Great shot!

Have a good one,
Mike

Definitely a racer. Note the numbers on the car that he will never remove.

Although the vote is still out as to whether or not Pat is a Waxer or a Racer (perhaps 'Speed Waxer') I think he fancies himself Mr. Heffner.

Check out the link and see for yourself:

Right, and I read your profile. Cornercravers is a group of local Maryland, Virginia, DC, Pennsylvania etc HPDEer's that just note which events we are participating in.

Thanks Don. We probably shouldn't have show these as I am trying to get more people participating in the competition side of Corvettes. Showing these might sway people the other way.

Cool. Is there a Cornercravers website or location where you guys meet? I thought you wrote 'Corver carver' aka road course addict. I have approx. 6 more HPDE events this year at VIR.

Pat - you are correct! These photos are typical of waxer type events where you can participate in these ancillary activities. I don't recall them at the drag races or the autocross? The things that make you go Hmmm!!!!

We need to refocus on the question.

Is the the person in this photo a Waxer or a Racer?
