Good morning, Gris. Pretty day here to start, will head up to 80 for the rest of the week. They're supposed to get my office moved (again) this week, but at this point I think it's all a scam. Nothing has been touched. More peaceful here anyway.

CORVETTE RACING AT PETIT LE MANS: Titles and Podiums! GTD PRO championships and podiums plus Akin Award for AWA in IMSA finale BRASELTON, Ga. (October 11, 2025) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports capped an incredible day at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta with a pair of podium finishes to go along with a GTD PRO championship sweep at the 10-hour Petit Le Mans on Saturday. Tommy Milner, Nicky Catsburg and Nico Varrone placed second in class with their No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, just ahead of the GTD PRO Drivers Championship pairing of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims plus Daniel Juncadella in the No. 3 Corvette. It marked the first double-podium for the Pratt Miller Corvette squad since 2008. The result didn’t just secure the class Drivers Championship but also the Manufacturers Championship for Chevrolet and the Teams’ title for the No. 3 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports group. The No. 4 Corvette raced back into contention following an early-race bad break when Catsburg had to stop for a splash of fuel when the pits were closed under a full-course yellow. He stopped a couple of laps later still under yellow and handed off to Milner, who stopped again a lap later behind the safety car for a top-off and what the team hoped would be a fuel advantage later in the race. It came to fruition after Milner’s stint as Varrone cycled through to the lead during a long green-flag run past the halfway point. More caution-free laps helped the No. 4 Corvette’s cause as Catsburg drove the final two hours to the finish. On the No. 3 Corvette side, the focus was to finish ahead of the No. 81 Ferrari – the closest competitor for the class championship. Garcia began eighth but couldn’t gain much ground on the No. 81 given nearly 30 minutes of full-course yellow in the race. Garcia drove the first three hours and handed over to Sims with the Corvette in the top-five but still behind the Ferrari. That changed just after the four-hour mark when the No. 3 Corvette team got Sims in and out of the pitlane quicker than their championship rivals. The two cars ran close together for the next two-and-a-half hours before the Corvette moved ahead for good with three hours to go. In GTD, AWA celebrated winning both the season-long Bob Akin Award and taking the race’s Akin trophy with the No. 13 Corvette Z06 GT3.R as the highest-finishing GTD car with a Bronze-rated driver. Orey Fidani, who teamed with Matt Bell and Lars Kern, won his second straight Akin championship and a return trip to next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The trio finished ninth in class after starting 19th to cap a season that began with a class victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona. DXDT Racing’s trio of Charlie Eastwood, Alec Udell and Salih Yoluc likewise raced through the field to finish seventh in GTD. Their No. 36 Corvette began 17th but Yoluc drove a triple-stint at the front – same as Fidani – to open up the strategy options. Udell and Eastwood split the mid-race driving before Eastwood went to the end and wrapped up the team’s first season in IMSA. CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R POST-RACE DRIVER QUOTES ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This was really tight. I would have liked a more relaxed fight with not around 10 points between us! It was a very tight race. We turned things around between qualifying and now. I knew the car was there since Lap One. We just needed to stay focused and keep getting places. We didn't have the pace to pass people on track, but we did a fantastic job... saving fuel, doing everything right, gaining positions and taking every opportunity where we could. So six championships! It's a group effort. That doesn't happen without Corvette Racing and all the teammates I've had over the past 16 years." ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "It's incredibly intense here at Petit Le Mans every single time I do it. But it's so thrilling. The track is just amazing... such a nice sequence of corners and so many cars means that all the traffic keeps you on your toes. Our Corvette was working well all day and all season. We've had a phenomenal year. Pratt Miller has executed a fantastic championship. We optimized pretty much everything we could every single time. Full credit to the whole team. Amazing to do it with Antonio and Dani. We had a good year last year finishing third in the championship. To go to first place this year is absolutely phenomenal." DANIEL JUNCADELLA, NO. 3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This is mega. I've only been a small part of this season. But it's nice to play a role in the last race. It's a big race for everybody. Finishing on the podium and helping these guys clinch a championship was the big goal. It's been great to be a part of that." TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "It's a great day for Corvette Racing, Pratt Miller and Chevy. It went about as well as it could have for us. I'm super happy for Antonio and Alex, and Dani as well helping with that. Those guys were basically perfect all year long. That's what it takes in this championship. Congrats to those guys. It's a whole team effort, though. You look at it and all the 4 car guys celebrate it just as much as the 3 car guys. It's a great morale booster for everyone. For us, the race today was good. P2 was about as good as it was going to get for us. The BMW had a little too much pace on us. But overall a really great day." NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "We achieved everything we wanted to achieve. It would have been great to finally have a Petit win but the BMW was one size too big for us today. I had some really cool and clean fights with Dan Harper. I'm very pleased with the job that the team did. We had a cool season. We won everything we wanted as a team. So I'm looking forward to next year already." NICO VARRONE, NO. 4 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "This was a great weekend for everyone. I was really looking forward to coming here and racing again with Corvette. This is like a family for me. Finishing with both cars on the podium is great. We had a great race for P2 and had great pace. Not enough to fight with the BMW, but we executed well and maximized our potential. A big thank you to all the team and all the crew. Our Corvette was really flying. Tommy and Nicky did a great job as always in setting up the car. It was super-fast in the race. Overall this is a great day for Corvette, Chevy and the team. Sure we wanted to win the race but today it wasn't possible so we're happy to finish second. Hopefully next year we can finish in a better spot." MATT BELL, NO. 13 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "Fantastic end of the season for AWA. I’m really proud to be heading back to France. That was our goal coming into this year and this race. It was a shame for the No. 70 that they were taken out of contention the way they were; they’ve been great competitors all season and we have huge respect for each other, and we wanted to go toe to toe all the way to the end. But of course we wanted to go back to France, so I’m super happy about achieving that. It was a really good race and we had really good pace. It was a nice way to finish with the top-10 and now I guess I need to learn a bit of French!” OREY FIDANI, NO. 13 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “I couldn’t be happier or more proud of the way we performed this season. We knew from the get-go that we wanted to go back to Le Mans, and we knew we would have to work incredibly hard to achieve it, but that’s exactly what we set out to do. We all have an immense amount of respect for everyone at Inception Racing, and we had a great time going up against them this season. I’m thrilled that we’re going back to France, and now with some extra knowledge and experience on our side, we’ll be ready to put up a good fight with Chevy.” LARS KERN, NO. 13 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "Winning the Bob Akin Award is a great way to end the season. We worked for this all year. Though it’s not the way we wanted to win it. We always said we wanted to win it on track. I feel really sorry for the No. 70 car and the whole Inception Racing group. "We went all-in in the race and had a great time. We needed a full-course yellow within the last five hours, but there wasn't any, which was a testament to the clean racing. It was good racing, but in the end, we were just always running behind the gap. I am really happy for Orey and the team. We are going back to Le Mans, which was the target of the season. We’ll finish on the podium of this race next year! Ryan Smith Judy Kouba Dominick ![]()

Good morning. We are nearing the end of rainy season here in the tropics. Got my new Windows 11 computer up and running but I have to load all my old favorites and make some personal adjustments like screen saver application. PITA. Had to pull the plug to start it up this morning. Seems faster than my old Windows 10 computer but it's 10 years newer so I expect it should be faster. This new computer is more than I need but better to have too much than too little. At least, that's what she said.

I’m just now getting in some .i keep getting the “invalid submission/exceeded session time” message otherwise and it won’t post. Hope everyone had a good day. Was beautiful out today, ran some errands and were out back with a fire and drinks, moon and stars are beautiful.moon meets the seven sisters tonight

Hey guys, I'm guessing the site has been down today as there's no chat started until now 10:20pm? Tried a couple times yesterday but kept getting error messages.
Today is Leos' birthday. We went to the high school football game this evening, well, that's what they were calling it. We left at half time with the local boys behind 58-0. I'd seen enough. Didn't do a lot today, went out and pedaled Knights of Columbus Tootsie Rolls. An annual fundraiser for handicapped citizens. Tomorrow is our home Cross Country meet. I volunteered to help out, so will be out there by 8:15am... should be done by noon.

Next time you need something like that, let me know. I can have Arron look up the part for you and see if there are options, lower pricing and so on.

these are good days to drive a Vette here also... I have just went to get the last small hose that goes from the PS reserve to the PS pump. it is a small rubber hose with a 45 degree angle in it and 2 clamps. Probably 4 or 5" long.... got it from GM and went to pick it up and they said $49.99... I said that cannot be... look at this part....that maybe $20 to 25 dollars worth... but I will do something else....I had no idea..... So I finally beat them down to $37 bucks which was barely tolerable.... the whole thing has gone nuts...they are taking all the fun out of it.
sunshine and breezy.... better go put on that rubber hose that thinks its made out of gold..... put on some parts Guru's

Good morning Gris, yes, slow for me also. Wouldn't let me in, even with login, then I backed out and came back and then I didn't need to log in. Then I posted and got "site unavailable, come back soon" , then invalid submission etc. Keep getting security issues and site unsafe warnings. Beautiful day here today, 80 for the high but it was actually jacket weather when I left the house earlier. Got some store branding stuff to work on for us here today, for her here in Tint and and get a game plan together for me when I get moved into new office across street. I'm redoing her outside windows here, and possibly inside for her. I have some plans up my sleeve for over at my new shop as well if owner will stay out of my business lol . He needs to stay in work bay, run printer and worry about that. I'll handle the image stuff lol Would've been a good day to drive the vette but it's of course, out of gas and dusty. Maybe if I get out tomorrow I'll take the top off and cruise.

Weather perfect here also.... I'm soaking it up because you know..... I have been cleaning up and starting to clean out... so much stuff we have accumulated over the years... rooms full of stuff.... its important stuff though, stuff from my family and her family.... the kids might want some of it.... I don't really know what to do with it..... Like my Dad's old WWII uniform.... how can I throw that away.... I guess we have to leave those things to the next gen they will not have the emotional attachment that we do....
time to clean out Guru's

Hey guys, I got the vanities finished up as bob, the builder, (sounds like that could be a good childrens show name) finished painting at the sherriffs dept, then went over there and spent the rest of the day installing the last of the cabinets there. I'll go back tomorrow and do the Library ladder system hardware.

I love that Change the World song.
The tint shop will remain here, we were leasing three suites. One was a garage stall only, previously used as wrap bay. The middle was office front with tint back, there as a "pass through room" near the middle, then my suite over here which was a lobby, three offices, kichen/bath and one more open room in the back. We had half the building. The coffee guy next to us has done well and expanded and franchised now and he bought the entire building earlier this year. He will make his half his corporate offices and merch location. Tint will stay here another couple years then not sure where they will go as I think Larry wants to end up with the whole building. He tried to get the owner, John to go in halfs on a new shop next door so he could have all this, prob half a mil worth and he wouldn't do it. Which was dumb, he could have tripled his money in no time here. He ended up leasing two high bay shops across the street, kinda in a weird, hard to find spot, then gutted,tore out a wall for install bay, made me an office, etc. He also was leasing one unit on the opposite end of it, and there's a body guy working out of the other two in the middle. John eventually wants all five, till he's 62 then he will sell out to his partner, Ron who also has a body shop around the corner from here. I may go back to school and get out of it alltogether. Sick of it and ready for something new.

The more things change the more they remain the same till the solar system gets sucked into the big black hole, it explodes, and we start all over again. If you could would you like to live 1000 years?

Good morning,
still raining here, might off and on all day, rained quite a bit yesterday and last night. We needed it, but it would be more helpful spread out over the summer instead of a 3 month drought. Guys still haven't moved my office stuff across the street, so I'm still over here in the old building with the tint crew. Kinda thinking I'd just as soon stay here, it's more peaceful and less drama, sans the occasional day, like this morning when there's folks in the lobby on my side with a screaming ass kid. 3.2 hours of sleep all together last night is already making for me an irritable self. Make it a great day yall

Hey guys, Left early to take GGD back. We will not get her again until November 3. Will be tough for us.
Got home and hauled the last of the cabinets up to the sheriffs office. Hopefully tomorrow I will get those installed. I then picked up Father Peter and we went over to the church. the next town over, to do some tear out of some paneling so so repair work can be done.

I don't know what kind of fuel was put in it last. But I thing getting it out is the best way. Then put in some fresh top tier 91 and try to get it started. appreciate the info...

Good morning, raining and cool here, have the doors open for some fresh air, will get some housework done and that will be it for me. Nothing done here this weekend, we were both still tired from vaca and the drive home plus work I think and we just really sat around all weekend. We did get out some Saturday to hit a couple junk stores and what not and that was it. Rain might give way to a nap for me later after Arron comes home for lunch and goes back to work.
For the C5 draining, figure out which end you want the old fuel to come from, up from the rails or out back below. Also, does the fuel contain Ethanol? That makes a difference. If you don't mind driving it, inspect best you can and determine if there's no contamination, then top off and go. If you are unsure, either connect at fuel rail, then let fuel pumps do the work for you. Again, if there is contamination you may need to tend to filters and injectors.

Howdy there.....kinda cloudy kinda sunny.... warm though... got a lot done on the C5.... starting to look like a real engine bay.... got one more hose coming and get the PS pulley back on and then..... then what?
So here is my dilemma, there is a half tank of fuel that has been there for 7 years..... my idea is put fresh in on top and some Sea Foam and try and get it running. It probably needs drained but how would that work on these dual tank cars? I am open for suggestions..... be open to suggestions Guru's

Morning guys... Was up early yesterday and off to the 'city', as Rosie, #2 and Leo were running/walking in the local Cancer centers 5k. 900 runners/joggers/walkers. Leo finished 4th, #2 finished 375-Jogging/walking and Rosie finished 415, walking all the way. I got a new camera lens on Tuesday, so I took it with me to try it out at the 5K...Love it.
Take GGD back tomorrow, will miss her.

Yeah I like that song also.... got some parts in from Chevy ...good old AC Delco... belts and bolts and a radiator hose.... it's stupid money for those things these days.... half of what I paid would have been to much... I always like AC Delco parts though..... probably still made in China though....
Harvest in full swing as I see some corn starting to come out.... late season Southern Rust moved in late again this year and shut the plant down early. That will take some off the top end of the yields. Keep moving Guru's
