Evidence the car has been tracked???

Where does the stuff hide that dealers find that is evidence of tracking? I do notice little chunks of rubber stuck to the tread, and black marks on the nose, behind the wheels and on and under the rocker panels. Where elso does it hide and how do you find it and get it out?

Any help appreciated. I may have to take mine to a dealer soon.

Thanks,

Unless you had to have it trucked to the dealer from the track, they'll be hard pressed to argue you had been on the track no matter what it looks like. There is no provision in the warranty or service manual for car cleanliness. Just be sure you wash the numbers off the glass, and take all the timeslips out of the Glove Box.

I can just imagine the conversation with the Service Manager... "sorry, we won't service your problem. The car is dirty. Our standing policy is to assume that all dirty Corvettes are that way because they've been raced on a racetrack."

Puh-leeze.

Only an idiot would think they could get away with that kind of logic.

I've read about plenty of people griping because they forgot to remove time slips.

Make sure you remove the wheelie bars too.

I have had no problems with all my mods. You can even make the case that harness bars and harness are for safety or show (ricer mod).

Don't forget to remove your sponsors name and or decals... if your name is in letters over the drivers door and your crewchief's name is over the top of the passenger door.... another dead givaway.

I am guessing it's a bad idea to give the service manager a pit-pass to come see for himself how your 2nd gear snags?
