Is there a Vette in your Garage?

[ShortBus]

I did something fun this weekend that might interest some of you, my wife and I took our Chevy Cobalt out to an SCCA autocross event. It cost us $35 to race it six times. There was everything from go-carts to IRL cars. The Super Stock class was full of Porsche's and Vettes, and even a few exotics were out for a turn or two. The way I understand it, you can usually find a race any Sunday in your local metropolitan areas. Either with the SCCA or a more local affiliated group. This Link is a video of my wife's final run of the day. They do this stuff rain or shine!

The race next weekend is at Texas Motor Speedway. See the SCCA web site for rules.

If I had to pick the one thing I miss about living in Texas it is the racing. I really miss it.

That looks like a fun project! Equipe Rapide is the local group we were hanging out with Sunday. I numbered up the Hummer for some pictures early in the day. I got a few laughs out of it

I have a 99 Fixed roof coupe FRC (hardtop)..grandpa to the z06. Z51, 6speed, 3.42. These are sort or rare as most are coupes and convertibles. FRC's are lighter and stiffer due to the fixed roof. I do SCCA autcross, but roadracing is the real deal!

I try to go to road Atlanta at least 6 times a year. its much more epensve than Auto-x. Its about $300.00/day, but you get 4 30 minute sessions in traffic, on a real road course. I hit speeds of about 135 or so. You sign your life away and no insurance will cover you out there!

Auto X is fun and cheap and I hit them as fillers between track days. They are low risk as its mostly done in parking lots and if you spin out, you hit a cone, no another car or a wall!

here is me (black) behind a new Z06 (yellow)....
