I raced today at the Porsche Club event in South Florida today and someone at the event introduced me to your site. I believe he said he has 2 Porsches and 2 Corvettes.

I'm pretty much a nut in my 2008 Z06. As you can see, it's basically a dedicated race car. My co-driver and I finished 2nd and 3rd overall fastest times of the day, but we were on spent tires. We would have easily taken the fastest time on our good tires, but it was only for fun. We run the good tires for the 10-event series we run on the West Coast of Florida.

Anyways, Howdy!

I see some familiar names on here. I'm a regular on one of the "other" Corvette Forums.

It's nice to meet some new people.

Welcome! That's a trick looking Z you've got there with the decals.

And the guy you are talking about is Tommy T-Bone. Don't worry, he'll chime in soon with a smart ass comment

oh, yea... I kicked ass on one of the trivia cames you conducted a few years back. won a set of mats!

I was permabanned for disagreeing with the admin at CF on a number of issues... freedom of expression being the real big one.

I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in yet. He was very vocal about this forum.

He's currently on a short jaunt visiting his mother. I believe he'll be away from the interweb for a few days.

Hey Wiz.

I have a card set with your Corvette (and mine) in there.

I was just at the track on 5/10 as well, wearing my Corvette Guru shirt everywhere.

Unfortunately there was only one other Corvette there! And it was a rental with a rock puncturing the radiator...
