So documenting each and every single track day, while writing about my Corvette is going to become a bit too much for me... so I'm just going to document the chunks of time inbetween major lemons races!
TNIA - May 23rd

Leading Up to The Event
This track day was an exciting one! Not in the sense anything at the event regarding the Corvette itself was exciting... but in the sense that just 24 days prior I had blown up the torque tube on the Corvette at my 43rd track day. That may not seem terribly exciting, but I also didn't receive the transmission and differential to even put the car back together again until 16 hours before this event.

Welp, track day 43 did not go as planned. Coming into the event, I was thinking I'd be getting some data on the new to me Vitour P1 tires along with in general getting used to driving them on the track. Maybe even set a nice PB since the weather was a perfect 65 degrees with a light breeze. The event also barely had any attendees, which is rare for a Track Night in America.

The first track day of the year for PNW'ers tends to be a big deal, as folks have had all winter to wrench on their car. That's also a long time to build up some rust with. I was no exception to all of this, and so this post will be a bit longer than normal season posts.

First race is in the books! With a lot of work and effort we pulled off a pretty amazing rookie debut with no penalties / black flags, no off track mishaps or spins, and we managed to finish 4th in B class (out of 14 cars) and 12th overall (out of 41).

As my C5 Corvette project ownership carries on longer, the Corvette is quickly becoming less and less of a street car and more and more of an outright track sled. At first for safety I simply trusted just them OEM roll protection. That of course wasn't significant enough, and I wanted harnessess, so I moved onwards to a rollbar... and while that works, it's a half measure. Now with the tracks I frequent I am regularly pushing speeds well into the 130's.
