Open Road Racing 2004 - Texas - Lone Star Corvette Club

[Don&Kelly]

Well, it's about time for "Open Road Racing 2004 " to begin.

In about 90 days (give or take a few days) we will be running the 1st race of the year , the Big Bend Open Road Race out of Fort Stockton, Texas. Their website is http://www.bborr.com/ , go look at it & take a look at their bulletin board for lots of very interesting information.

If you are an experienced racer ... no problem ... you've got lots of time (except for room reservations) ... but if your a "rookie" (and we all were "rookies" at some point , I sometimes think I'm still one) ... it's time to begin to understand the details of this sport, and that takes a little time, and a little training ... our LSCC Team will provide both the details & any training that you may want. Heck we'll even share our beer with you.

If you would like to find out more about joining us LSCC @ the Big Bend Race (or any other races), please contact me at dondavis@yourcorvette.com & I'll get you on to the email list that we use to communicate with each other. By the way if you are on the list an would like to be removed, please let me know that too & we will remove you from the list (and bomb your vette- joke, just a little joke :-)).

You know you've been telling yourself "that you ought to get off the couch and try this" or "that sounds like fun" or "I can do that" - well come join us ... everyone is welcome and we're gonna have another great year in 2004.

I found out about this to late last year.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm very interested in attending.

It's a GREAT sport for Corvette owners. I did ORRing in 3 different cars (Z28 Camaro, ZR-1 and LT4 C4s) for several years (1996-2000), and served as a volunteer course worker a couple times, then ran out of gas (figuratively). I've been thinking about getting back out there again in my C5 but haven't had a chance yet.

I agree 100% with what Don&Kelly posted. Newcomers should start NOW in their preparations for such an event. There is a lot to know to be competitive and SAFE in Open Road Racing. It's not like going to drag strip for a few hours. It's more like preparing to enter a "real" endurance road race. The stakes are high if your car is not sufficiently prepared and remember you aren't allowed to practice the course at speed.

Have fun and hope to see a lot of Z06es at some of these future events one of these days!!!

Does anyone have a course diagram?
