Subject: Re: CORVETTE RACING AT LONG BEACH: Pole for Taylor, No. 3 C8.R by bogus on 2022/4/11 20:08:02 The C8.R was FAST. I mean FAST. All weekend they were flat hooked up! A rare and unusual pit stop mistake - a lug nut went sub-orbital when they left the pit box... said lug nut then bashed the radiator of the car behind, damaging it. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the Vette did have to serve a drive thru penalty. The upside? No chance of a BoP change before Monterey next month! The weather on race day was lovely, mid-70s... on Friday? Convection oven! It was nearly 100F!!!! The tent was ok, but stiflingly hot. No breeze, but at least shade. My knee did limit my roaming. The grassy areas are very uneven, so I just hung out in the corral. The corral was very nicely attended. It was a full house, about 90 Vettes, I would guess. maybe 100. I didn't count the parking spaces. The corral is located in the marina, behind the start finish line. In short, the BEST parking in the entire track space. Period. End of discussion. |
