Actually it did help quite a bit since I never ran RA before, at least I wasn't wondering where the track went.

I would like to thank Greg @ Vector Motorsports, Spectator-Racing.com, Mitch @ CMP Fab, Hawk, Hoosier, Richard @ Leading Edge Gary @ Hardbar USA, Raft, Pfadt, of course Chris and Jessica for letting us crash at their house, Scaryfast for letting me borrow his trailer and to Tony and Ed for allowing me to run in ST-1 with my ST-2 car:thumbs: Nice meeting you guys.

Our weekend in a nut shell I drove down 14 hours made the mistake of driving over the top of a mountain towing my car, left 50 and sunny in Michigan for 40s and rain in Atlanta having never been to the track before qualified 5th overall and 1st in class on Sat, ended up 3rd over all and 1st in ST-1, I also ran the first TT session with Katrina (my old street car) and finished 3rd in TTA ( should have gone back out but after racing, TTing and riding with EM in HPDE2 I was just too tired to take the risk in the rain). On Sunday I qualified 2nd overall and got the over all win, I wanted to run conservative but once I got out front I didn't want to give it up. I really believe being a extremely courteous racer all weekend really help me get that win (I had zero issues with traffic & was never challenged for the spot once I got up front).


The day ended with a half dry line so Greg and I put on Scaryfast's old R6s for one shot at the TT title. Greg went out first and ran two hot laps and then came in to give me a shot, I was able to get 1 semi hot lap in before they ended the session 7 minutes early but it was good enough for a second in TTA and a second overall in TT.

Overall a nice weekend, the car is feeling much better do to a lot of hard work but we still have a long ways to go.


Here's the video of Sunday's race

BTW I actually told Scott that I wouldn't challange for corner #1, it was his.

Badass Ken, I also owe you a couple bucks because your track video just made me jizz my pants

Just out of curiousity. What does a purpose built car such as yours go for? Ive been looking at trying to get into a more competitive driving arena in order to "have my fun at the track" Ive really been looking for a nice corvette I can use for track only such as yours

FYI I was faster both days in Katrina a street car, I bought my car used off e-bay for a bargin basement price and it needed a lot of sorting out, to have one built you're looking at six figures + testing and sorting time.

Before you spend money be sure to decide what you want to do with it, what is the end goal. I would recommend a used T1 car for a track only race car, for HPDE or TT a C5 Z06
 
Great to hear guys!
Now I can say I am faster then a race winner at Road Atlanta (in forza at least LOL)

Congrats I know this is far from your last visit to the podium and victory lane
