Ever wanted to compete against our 2004 Chevrolet Corvette project car? Well, now you can at the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge Presented by Grassroots Motorsports.
What is the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge? It’s our annual no-holds-barred track competition. The only rule is that car and driver must pass a NASA safety inspection.
Simply put, the goal of …
I wonder if I can show up and beat myself?
I'd like a do-over on that last post please.
I would very likely be the slowest car there by an order of magnitude.
Maybe next year. My new car is too new to me to even consider being a contender. Until now, I've never even driven a car on track capable of more than 120ish mph.
I'm going to be there in my new project car. But I don't think I'll be anywhere near competitive given some of the firepower other folks are bringing along.

Holly sh-t. Now that's bringing a gun to a gun fight.

Oh I think we'll definitely be pals next year (although you have wide fives, which immediately makes you cooler).

Like any good racer/track day enthusiast, I torque my lugnuts before a session. This being my first foray with this car, I snapped the very first one clean off trying to torque it to 150 ft-lb (lack of research on my part). After missing an entire Friday of Open Track sessions trying to find a local wide 5 hub and trying to see if I could punch out the old stud (negatory), I decided on Saturday to just send it on 4. It was fine. But that was an expensive lesson.
I was kind of wishing I had the uncool hubs.
