Running with the Vettes

[Gary Horneck]

I had amazing weekend running a NCCC Corvette Autocross. High speed fun. Total of 27 runs in two days. My 325e was running/handling perfectly. My times were equal to the lower third of the Vette's overall times. Not bad for a slightly modded eta motor.

Very nice. That seems like a very fast course. Good run.

Car sounds very healthy for an ETA!

That's one heck of an autoX course. What do you have done to your car? Sounded like you have r-comps.

I did a Corvette Club autocross recently. Their courses are very straight compared to most other groups :) Makes for some fun!

Looks like a very fun autox course. Couple pretty high speed areas

[warmseth]

You seemed to take that hairpin a LOT faster than most of those corvettes. Looks like a ball. Conrgrats.

love corvette club autocrosses; they're always a bit higher speed. I've never seen one that open before.
