Default New Vette Doctors package goes airborne at E-Town this weekend....

As most know, I had a bit of bad fortune earlier in the season and grenaded my tranny and rear. After building and installing a new motor over the winter, Carmen and the Vette Doctor Crew flatbedded my baby back from E-Town and brought her back to life.

After a few rain outs and probably a few "chicken outs" I returned to the scene of the event

The car, tranny and rear ran fantastic, I had some issues (apprehension and shifting), but I managed to make it to the 3rd round until an untimely redlite brought my day, at least racing, to a close. On my last run, the following was caught on film by the masterful photographer Chris Young....

There's air under the tire....



CSI confirmation....



Thats all about the power and drive train strength that the Vette Doctors have provided me. Thanks for the continued support and I hope some day to be able to bring home my first win under the Vette Doctors banner

Way to be Ed!

I didn't think that the blow up was needed....I saw the air under the right tire right off the bat.....Vette Doctors sure had your Rx spot on!

very cool!!
However, my CSI pic. shows Josh sitting in the boot of the car -- that's the cause of the front wheels going airborne.
