Default Vintage Racing a Corvette Challenge Car at COTA

Thought I'd share - this is the last race of the SVRA Sprint series for the 2016 season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAvFbPeor2o&t=776s

I'm running a '88 Corvette Challenge Car. The C5 with flames shooting from the side is Boris Said, one of the Challenge Car drivers in '88 and '89. There were 3 groups on track, and I placed 3rd in my group, which included a 427ci Panoz, and race prepped Viper.

Regards,
Mark

There were 4 in my group; the fourth car being another Challenge Car. In total, there were 28 cars that ran together in this race.

As you can see, I really needed a ZR-1 race car out there!

Mark,
Looks like a lot of fun and particularly enjoyed watching you accelerate out of those turns onto the straight away.

Awesome Vid mark . Great driving on your part to stay clear of those monster speed demon cars ... The sound of squealing tires is magic ...
