Bone stock LT1 ... everything is stock by rule.

Same race, but a different perspective ...

It's a tremendous amount of fun ... you cannot know till you've been behind the wheel competing with 20 other screaming drivers. Amazing!

And a lot cheaper than you might think. I won the regional championship last year with a budget of $5000. I only spent $3000 of it, including towing, food and lodging. That was 24 races over 6 weekends.

Took me second to realize the camera car was the red Camaro in the white LT1's video. Pretty cool man.

A weeks worth of rain ended about 6 hours prior, it was about 40* and there was a north wind blowing about 20mph.

Didn't get turned, just over-drove the conditions. :stars:

And my co-driver was actually behind the wheel.

Listening it sounded like someone got into you, probably the the car going over the curbing? Either way that looks to be a load of fun.

ah ... good ear ... the sub-frame nailed the curbing.

Better than a wheel!
