[Olitho]

How did Corvette Days at Spring Mountain go this weekend?

Ed, Bobby, Paul...? Do you guys have any reports?

Good to hear from you Oli!

What started to look like a drifting exercize the night before(rain) turned out to be perfect conditions(68-75 degrees).
Because of Mom's day, the turnout was only 31(8 in advanced) tons of track time.

I had the Toyo's this time and get this, I ran best of 1:47.020 and consistant 1:48's on a full session 11 lap trial...very pleased!

You really need to come out...the people are top notch and food is xlnt!

My Bud was pretty bummed with his times so seeing I wasn't going to break into the 1:46's put on the streets and made consistant 1:51's(talk about pushing)...one thing however, I found some lagging do to my intake coupler poping off throughtout...this may have stopped my quest for the 1:46 I was looking for!

Let me know what track next!

Hasta for now---Ed

This table probably will not format right, but Rupert, the track designer has two of the records. One is 1:45 in an older Lola and the other is a 148.7 in a Z06 with race tires.

So Ed, be proud. You smoked us at Buttonwillow last month and now you kicked ash at Spring Mountain.


I need to work on my driving. I don't intend to let you run unfettered at the top of the timing board.

Mothers day kept me away, too, otherwise I would have been there to push you into 1:46! Right after my 1:45 of course!!!
