Press Release: CORVETTE RACING AT LIME ROCK: Tough Luck on Tight Track Garcia, Taylor move into second in points after fourth-place finish in GT-only fight LAKEVILLE, Conn. (July 22, 2023) – Luck and track position went against Corvette Racing on Saturday at Lime Rock Park as Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor drove to a fourth-place finish in the FCP Euro Northeast Grand Prix presented by Liqui Moly. The day wasn’t a complete loss, though, as the No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette finished high enough to move into second place in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GT Daytona (GTD) PRO points standings with four events to go. Saturday’s race was the first of two GT-only races on the schedule this year, and the packed hillsides of fans watched a fantastic show around the 1.474-mile, seven-turn bullring as the top four cars were separated by just 1.138 seconds at the end. The first 90 minutes or so were full of differing pit strategy among the GTD PRO entries. Garcia maintained his third-place position from the start and led when he made his first stop at half-hour mark, rejoining third but second among the cars on a three-stop strategy. A full-course yellow only minutes later jumbled up the strategy again with Garcia and the No. 14 Lexus stopping for fuel and left-side tires while the race-winning Aston Martin stayed out. Even with fresher tires, the difficulty for Garcia in third and the second-place Lexus to get around the Aston Martin was evident during a long green-flag run in the middle of the race. That meant a period of fuel-save to try and gain track position on the final pit stop. Garcia brought the Corvette to the pitlane for the last time with 72 minutes left from third place. The swap to Taylor looked routine until the Corvette stalled leaving the pitbox, and Taylor lost nearly 10 seconds as the car wouldn’t go back into gear. That cycled the Corvette back to fourth for the final run to the finish. A full-course yellow with a little more than an hour bunched up the field, but Taylor was unable to make in-roads on the tight and twisty Lime Rock circuit during the final 47 minutes. Corvette Racing’s next event is the IMSA SportsCar Weekend at Road America on August 4-6. ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R - FINISHED FOURTH IN GTD PRO: “A very frustrating race. It felt like it was impossible to pass anybody on track, and it was all about track position. It’s a shame we didn’t have a better starting position in qualifying, but that was kind of a key thing this year. We never had the ultimate pace to be upfront in qualifying, especially. I thought being P3 would’ve been enough just to have race pace, but everybody kind of had pretty much the same thing. Here, it seemed impossible to pass with what we had. On top of that, we had to play the strategy, and I think we probably had the Lexus covered because I was saving quite a bit of fuel behind them. I think it was the right call to pit behind them, but then the car had an issue (on the driver change). I don’t really know what happened there, but we lost six, seven, or eight seconds and we lost position even to the Porsche. So just frustrating. As we knew, Jordan (Taylor) did 70 laps behind them, and there’s nothing you can do. We didn’t seem to have anything extra to pass them. We need to look back and see what we can do different.” JORDAN TAYLOR, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R - FINISHED FOURTH IN GTD PRO: “It was a pretty frustrating day. We didn’t have the fastest car, but with the way the strategy was looking, it looked like we were going to be able to jump a bunch of guys on that last stop and then something went wrong on the stop itself. I couldn’t get it back in gear, and we were sitting there for an extra 10 seconds. Once you lose all that track position, it’s impossible to pass around here. Even if we had a stronger car, you’re just sitting behind guys. We were just waiting for someone to make a mistake or something like that to cruise by. But that wasn’t the case. Everyone kind of drove around in a line, and that was it.” Ryan Smith Judy Kouba Dominick

Good morning yall. In the office on my off day, I'd rather be home asleep. Supposed to storm like all getout at noon again today. Beyond sick of it. I'm all good with a rain, but blowing, hail and crap we're sick to death of here. Tee, there's some here I'd like to tell to go to hell too, but need to be nice to the customer. Except, one the tint guys and myself all ended up on the phone with, tint manager said if he called again he was gonna tell him off. Entitled mindset is the root of the problem most of the time. Hoping for a calm day today. Can't check email, Yahoo is down, can't troll FB apparently that's not working either. This forum working fine, plus one other that I'm in seems to be working allright. Weird.

Good Morning CGs!
No storms here Gris but we had some menacing clouds. Took RR#2 in the pool yesterday and gave myself a little sunburn. Nothing terrible, cream seems to be helping out. Tried to get the center mount exhaust tip put on the Camaro yesterday, no go. Their pipe bender was down at that location and they couldn't do it. I'll try a different shop next week. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hey guys, Happy belated Birthday, Tommy.
Busy day today, drove an hour to my sister's place to install new handrails on her porch. Leo and I almost got finished before we had to head home. Not a problem, as we have to go back to build the lean-to roof over the porch next week. Letty, you put up with more than I would, but then again, I'm retired and tell people to go to hell. Matt sounds like you need to do that more often.

Matt I have some real doozies. Have one in an email battle with me over a price to "install" a banner, guessing none of his 25 employees can stand on a stool and loop a grommet over a nail about head high. We don't do that, but said we would for a fee since he asked. Then he tried to cut 2/3 off our fee. We don't work for free. I told him I'd take off 10% but that's our hourly shop labor rate and we don't do that anyway Allegedly he's mailing me a check since his store is here and he's in Houston at a corporate office.

Good Afternoon CGs!
Just me and rugrat #2 today. He wanted to go swimming and I thought it would be quick so we jumped in....an hour and a half later it was time to get out. My neck has a little sunburn, guess I should have used sunblock. Oh well. Tommy, happy belated birthday! VB, I don't think I could deal with your clients. Always late unless they're always early, always complaining, wanting everything done asap. I'd tell them to pound sand. Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy birthday Tommy!
Overcast here today but its' not raining at least. Had a last minute client show up at 10 till 5 yesterday with an Expedition to be wrapped, have that ready to print already. They have several vehicles, waiting on approval for two others, they're dragging their feet then send this one over. Oh well, whichever they want first I don't care, just git 'er dun. Need to get nails done after work but I hate sitting there for that, but these are about had it. Need to also find a vaca spot for august 5 if Arron will make up his mind where he wants to be, I'll handle the logistics of the rest of it, as usual. (Logistics: the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies. - 'complex operation' being the operative phrase in this situation)

Always something. 95/96 high today with feels like 110 for the next week. Did I ever mention ........ never mind.

good morning, what's left of it. Rainy looking out side today but none yet. Did seem cooler this morning. Storms were horrible yesterday, high winds, hail , the whole nine yards. Lots without power, one tree on our street uprooted. We've had so much rain it's a wonder they all weren't. We got a solid inch in the short amount of time the storm was here.
And, my redneck skeeter screen remained in place. Not where I can screen in a patio right now, and not gonna try in this humidity, so came up with an alternative. $20 Had the track up already from having plastic up this past winter. Took plastic down then bought the mesh for summer . I also ordered a magnetic doorway that I’ll add in with quick hand stitch but it hasn’t come in yet. I have not weighted this at bottom , there’s a good 1.5 feet extra but I can easily if I need to . To hold at top I folded mesh over a couple times then poked cording in there so my clips would hold better but the cording really isn’t necessary. Note: those mesh things that fit over umbrellas would work too plus they have water tubes on bottom to add weight. I chose not to get them done I was trying to go the cheaper route and I needed 95” minimum height, most of those things are onlu 7-7.5' tall. Between 65' of screen at 10' tall, and the magnetic opening, I'm out about $50.

Good Morning CGs!
Corvette is still down. One of the two high speed cooling fans decided to go out. Of course it's an aftermarket spal fan on a Dewitt's set up. I need to pull it out and see if I can get just the fan. Have some errands to do today and then class tonight. Hope everyone has a great day!

CORVETTE RACING AT LIME ROCK: Going for Two |

CORVETTE RACING AT LIME ROCK: Going for Two No. 3 C8.R team will try to go back-to-back after class win in Canada DETROIT (July 18, 2023) – Long tracks and short tracks… Corvette Racing has won at them both. It’s the latter that’s next on the team’s calendar as the longest-running sports car racing program in North America heads to Lime Rock Park for Saturday’s FCP Euro Northeast Grand Prix presented by Liqui Moly. The No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R of Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor will look for back-to-back victories this weekend, having won the last time out at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park two weeks ago. As was the case then – and at most stops on the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship schedule – Corvette Racing owns a stellar record at Lime Rock. With six victories at the 1.474-mile, seven-turn road course in northwestern Connecticut, no team in IMSA history has won more times at Lime Rock than Corvette Racing. In fact, no team in the paddock has half the number of victories at the circuit. A seventh Lime Rock triumph would go a long way toward helping Garcia, Taylor, the No. 3 C8.R team and Chevrolet get back in prime position to fight for the GT Daytona (GTD) PRO championship. There are five rounds to go counting this weekend with the Corvette squad third in the Drivers, Manufacturers and Teams standings and within striking distance of first place. The Garcia/Taylor pairing has stood on the top step at Lime Rock before, taking victory in the GT-only race in 2021. This is the first of two races this season to feature only GTD PRO and GTD cars, the second coming at Virginia International Raceway in August. Of note, six of Corvette Racing’s 126 victories worldwide have been overall wins, including the 2021 Lime Rock win for the No. 3 Corvette. The FCP Euro Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park is scheduled for 12:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 22. The race will air live on USA and stream live on Peacock inside the United States and IMSA.com outside the U.S. IMSA Radio will air all on-track sessions beginning with Friday morning’s practice at IMSA.com with the race call also on XM 207 and SiriusXM Online 992. ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “It’s always good to go right back to racing after a win. Everyone I think gets to the track feeling better about things, so I hope that is the case for us at Lime Rock. This is a very intense and physical race usually. It’s so hard to pass and if we are stuck behind GTDs, especially early, then it can be a long and frustrating day. This race is all about track position, so we need to arrive at the track with everything right on our Corvette so we can start fine-tuning immediately. That will be the easiest and best way to start toward the front and hopefully stay there.” JORDAN TAYLOR, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: “Lime Rock is such a unique race for us. It’s nothing like any of our other events, a true bullring of a track. I feel like we’ve had a few races in a row now that we’ve been executing on all levels, and everything fell into place for us at CTMP to get the win. With Lime Rock being such a big race on execution, I always like our chances with Corvette Racing. And if we need to make some positions on track, maybe some of my stock car experience from this year can come into play.” 2023 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – GTD PRO (After six of 11 events) Driver Standings 1.

Hey guys, weekend trip to Nebraska was nice. Yesterday was a catch-up day. Today we are trying to stay inside as it is pretty warm out there. Looking to be 105, so they say, and the humidity is higher than normal so feels warmer yet.
Got to get back at it.

Good morning, We also have the outdoor sauna. When you get up and look out the windows and they're all steamed up, you know not to go outside. Spent Saturday in the next town over, my friend has a shop I consign glass to, I hit a couple my hole in the wall haunts, and spent $6 on a $290 vase. It will be listed on the next auction. A hard to find thisle 12". Visited with her and then stopped for groceries, got home around 7. Arron was over there working on the 57. Supposed to be an engine R&R and has turned into all kinds of mess. Sunday I got in pool some then had a squirrel moment an ended up doing yard work. Same thing yesterday. I have a ton to do but at least got some completed. Sore all over.

BUSY DAY, GOT THE DOG FED, CARS ROTATED, BILLS PAID, AND BREAKFAST AT THE BOOMERANG. THIS MORNING WAS PRETTY, CLEAR & SUNNY. THIS AFTERNOON IT GOT DARK AND A VERY LIVELY THUNDER SQUALL BLEW THRU, TOOK DOWN A BIG LIMB ON THE ELM TREE, DROPPED A QUARTER INCH OF RAIN IN 15 MINUTES AND WAS GONE :-O THE SUN IS SHINING NOW; OKLAHOMA WEATHER.
THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST MEDIA HAS DECLARED TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA THE WORSE PLACES TO LIVE IN THE US. THAT'S GREAT! HOPE IT SCARES OFF THE REFUGEES FROM THE LOONY LEFT COAST. I'D HATE TO SEE OKLAHOMA TURN INTO COLORADO. I'M WITH YOU TOMMY, FED UP WITH THE OUTDOOR SAUNA!

Saw Ted Nugent and his band along with an opening act of the Vegas Hillbillies. They both put on a great show. I know why they call Uncle Ted the Motor City Madman. We had great seats. Front row left of center. Hit a hand pay jackpot for $1250. before the show. I covered Sue's losses for a change. We still came out ahead for the night.

Morning guys… made it up to Nebraska yesterday. Delivered great grand to other grandma and headed on north to see #2GS. They too got rain and his day was cut short because of it. He said water was standing (more like pooling) in the fairways. Took him out to dinner at one of the two places to eat in Mullen.
Slept in a bit this morning, then explored the area here a little. We are in a motel 25 miles east of Mullen. Just got a message from GS saying he was done for the day, so will be headed over to see him pretty soon. Will ago to church in the morning, then head home.

...do not know bone scans.... wait..... ok CT scan is X Ray and bone scans is nuclear imaging.. not sure but they may have to inject a dye in your system.... don't want to discourage you but they will run you through the imaging machine... anyway that is what google says and it is almost as smart as AI without trying to kill us all.....

good morning Gris, gloomy and cloudy here too and very humid. I tried to beat the rain to work and got caught in the worst of it, lightning was remarkable though. I decided to hit the coffee shop next door and get me a tall one (will last me all weekend), and by the time I parked over at the office it had mostly quit. Would be a very good day to stay home and sleep a whole day like I've been wanting to do, but I have to be here to make up for being off Wednesday. I should've worked Monday instead but had stuff I needed to get done at home. Hoping for a smooth day today. Got word I go back to Little rock the 28th for a head to toe bone scan. Anyone had one of those? Not a bone density or ct scan etc, said this was different.

Good afternoon, rain here this morning, boomers woke me up too early, been pretty busy at work. Doc office didn't go like I wanted yeserday but hopefully he will get me to a solution. he is at least trying which is more than all the rest. Seems my previous hip surgeon wants to be stingy with MY records. I have zero issue taking a day off and just camping out till I get them. They're mine. I have to go back in a couple weeks for a head to toe bone scan. At this point I'd just soon them cut it off at the waist and eliminate the hurting parts. Not really but you get desperate after 5 years.
Planned to work in the yard some when I got home but there's heat warnings out. That crap has GOT to get done though at some point. I did trim back all 11 of the dwarf english laruel luyken things. makes me sick to do it, the winter ruined them I think. They all got leaves coming back then out of nowhere, they all died off again except a couple. I just got sick of looking at sticks and cut them about a foot off the ground. I don't know what to replace them with. I considered azaleas, but there's 3 sections and 1 gets all day sun, one gets mixed sun/shade and one gets mostly shade. I need something that will look uniform in all of those types of light. Replacing the laurels is a no, as the tiny ones are $100 each and I'd need 11 so nope. These are supposed to be all light/shade plus low maintenance and they've been anything but.

Gadaftahnoon.
Got chased in by rain, thunder and lightning. Heavy rain with close lightning strikes. Well, if nothing else, the plants are happy. However the dogs are not.

Hey guys, up and around early and off to the golf course. Leo and I are trying to go now once a week. Got a small job to go look at here pretty quick...might be something we can actually get done today.
Tomorrow we are headed to Nebraska to visit #2 GS as it is his birthday and he is doing an internship at a golf course up there...about 6 hours drive from here. We'll come home Sunday.

SUPER STICKY MORNING, HAD A BRIEF THUNDERSHOWER ABOUT 0400, LITTLE OVER A QUARTER INCH OF RAIN. IT WAS SO HUMID WHEN I GOT UP THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGED OVER, 81/83% NOW. 96 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH. TOO WET TO BLOW OFF THE PATIOS NOW, SO THAT WONT HAPPEN. I'LL MAKE A RUN TO MUSKOGEE FOR BIRD SEED AND DW GOING TO ANOTHER FUNERAL OVER THERE. THE WEST YARD WAS FULL OF DEER THIS MORNING, BIG BROWN DOE, TWIN FAWNS, SMALL DOE, AND A LITTLE FORKHORN BUCK. THE LATTER MAY BE LAST YEAR'S TWINS STILL HANGING AROUND WITH MOMMA. THEY ARE DELIGHTFUL TO SEE, BUT THEIR TICKS ARE NOT WELCOME. EVERYBODY MUST HAVE BEEN BUSY YESTERDAY, HOPE YOU GET SOME SLACK TODAY :-)
