Hope you change your mind

If the soon to be forthcoming Kickstarter titled "Convert my car to a front-breather with C6Z coolers, C6Z brakes, and knuckle heat shields" takes off I may be able to reconsider

Seriously, we usually snag the front spots closest to the pit wall to the left of the track building (facing the track). But most of the guys that get there early and secure spots are not coming.

Thanks very much

Obviously guys, I never requested to have the Corvette Challenge thread closed

But there are some issues that the Mods are consulting on that may affect some future aspects of the Corvette Challenge postings here on the Corvette Forum.

My C5Z sale was completed today so no defending by me.

Hope that the young man who bought it will join the Corvette Challenge and put it to good use.

Stay cool out there ...

Thanks DH, I will still be around. Just trying something different for a bit of tone.

He has track experience and bought the car for track days. I am sure he will be out and about.

Looking forward to the recaps and video !
