I do auto-x type events, but just local stuff. I don’t even have national points. I have been known to also do open track days at AMP now and then.
I don’t use the vette though. Too many safety requirements/restrictions because it’s a convertible. I use my 83 Mustang:
Started out as a base model v6 auto hatchback, only option it had was a sunroof. Heck, it didn’t even have a center console! Lol!
It’s many things, but stock is no longer one of them.
Engine: 1989 block, forged pistons, motorsports cam, roller lifters, edelbrock performer rpm air gap dual plane intake, holley 750 with vacuum secondaries, bbk longtubes, magnaflow full stainless exhaust, and on and on:
Transmission: T5, hurst short throw shifter
Front end: Bilstein struts, 2002 Cobra lower control arms (longer arms, low friction ball joints, etc), modified K-member (didn’t want to go tubular for road racing), camber/caster plates, SN95 Mach 1 springs, sn95 steering rack, solid rack bushings, bump ateer kit, sn95 wheel hubs, 5 lug wheel conversion, pbr cobra brakes.
Rear: 8.8 ford, 3.73 limited slip, 31 spline carrier, 31 spline sn95 axles, rear disc brakes, maximum motorsports (MM) HD lower control arms, sn95 Mach1 rear springs, bilstein rear shocks, MM panhard bar, MM torque arm, full length subframe connectors:
Sn95 “Bullit” rims.
Lots of body mods like the lowers, the hood, the t-tops, etc. the front “fog light” openings are now ducts to direct cooling air to the front brakes. I probably should have left out putting in T-tops:
Since you’re restricted to running with the tops in and the t-top “cassette” doesn’t add any torsional strength tk the chassis (makes it worse actually), but I just couldn’t pass up the “80’s cool” of t-tops. I use it as a weekend cruiser (when it’s together and painted all the same color) as well as playtime at the track, so T-tops were worth it to me.
Goes like stink, 1 G skidpad capable. Corners like a rat in sneakers on a rubber floor... it’s mystified some good drivers before and other, supposedly “more capable” cars.
Thier problem is; they see an ill handling, floaty, slow, low reving, snap oversteer 80’s fox mustang. But there’s not much 80’s mustang in there anymore, it’s all serious kit. So unless someone checks it out in the pits, they never know it’s a serious track car until they are staring at the time slips. It gets lots of confused looks after a run. I wish I could say it’s because of my skill, but, well...you know.....lol!
