For the first time ever, I ran my Vette on a closed course against the clock. What a blast!

It was sponsored by the local BMW club and open to everyone. Naturally there were many Beemers and Porsches, but also ricers and racers. Even a Mini. And a Pontiac Gran Prix.

We had four Corvettes from our local club; 2 C3's, a C5 and a C6.

The course was set up in the parking lot of the local community college. Lots of orange cones and white lines.

Everybody got 3 runs in the morning and 3 after lunch. I improved my time every run, so I was happy.

Next month the course will be on a go-kart track. If I don't have a conflict, I'll be there.

Now that I know I won't hurt the Vette, I'd like to try it at C3X in October, if we can get enough others interested.

id be afraid to do that, since most everything on the car save the
