Thanks! My last vette was a 09 Z51 and I think this one is much much better! We will see!

Upon further review, the ruling on the field is overturned... You're still classed in SS You're not going to try though this weekend are you? If so... then after my 3 PRO class runs I want a try! :mrgreen: Probably not as I doubt I will get enough miles on it. It has about 150 so far and the manual...

I guess I am not a master of the rules! :) All I found on it was the second paragraph under the start of Appendix A on page 165 which states: "All unclassified cars will compete in Super Stock (SS) until classified by the SEB, unless covered by a “catch-all” description." What am I missing...

From what I read in the rule book it seems I should still be in SS for a new production unrated car.
Thoughts???

yes , that would have been me!

Picked it up yesterday!
Pics tonight!
I got to wash it, I didn't want the dealer lot boy to add some patina to the exterior!

Just curious as Lenoir City Police did not seem to know about it when I asked.

I don't see any airplane in that picture.

Happy Birthday Chris!

I know I priced a set of slightly oversized (from stock) Hoosiers around $1500 for my 09 Corvette and it was not a Z06.
A set of RS3's was around $1400 (at the time) and a set of RE-11's is about $1200.

Maybe Knoxville is different. But usually 5 over is in a different point/cost class than 13. YMMV.

If you go to court, as long as the interaction was civil, try to talk the officer beforehand and see if he would be willing to reduce the amount you were speeding. Talk about your good driving history. Some officers MAY be agreeable to that as long as he doesn't remember you as a wiener head. :) If ...

Thanks Brian!
We can play it by ear. I'm still hoping it might show (and early enough to put some miles on it before Adesa!)
Hopefully your car's hub is a simple fix!

I'm hoping the Stingray make's it here before this event.
