I'll be there with the '69 racecar. Debating running the vintage race vs HPDX. I don't have many spares and I'm trying to sell the car on a fresh restoration. Tough call...lol. I'll see everyone there!

I'm trying as we speak to get this '69 in order. She's been sitting for a while and doesn't stop too damn well at all...lol. Bleeding out the system, gonna get some pads/tires real quick and I'll be running HPDX at 70-80% since this car hasn't been driven in a while.

Here she is

Well, I'm doing a little shakedown tomorrow morning at Beaverun....gonna see how it goes. We sorted out all kinds of issues tonight, but I still have a bit of steering and braking issues. Hopefully we got them sorted tonight...we'll see. You have the appropriate Hoosiers for the vintage categories?

We will be there Thursday-Sunday, bringing three Corvettes! 1957, 1967 and 1969 to race in the Vintage Class. It is shaping up to be a very nice event. We would bring our newest Corvette, Jerry Hansen 1980 TA Car, but don't have enough trailers or time to get it up there.
