Spaze Racing

After spending another three days at the track I managed to break the vette again! I managed to shred my belt on friday which caused a total failure on a lap. My dash lit up like a Christmas tree and the computer flashed every code it could. I pulled in and changed the belt, but I think the damage was done. On monday the car started over heating, and the same on tuesday. The car would overheat, and be low on coolant after I’d come in. However, the good news was that the power steering system is now amazing! The cooler I installed worked just fine, and there are no leaks at all!

After the damage report onto the fun stuff, how the car ran on track! I do believe that “like a bat out of hell” was used at least once on friday as people noticed me running nose to tail with a c6 z06 on hoosiers. I mean while was running very tired kumho 710’s that the car came with! So its time to put some new tires on the car, or enter a drift competition at summit. I had some great slides coming out of 6 into 7 and 8. I’ve become very diligent about catching slides with this car because I cannot turn the wheels to full lock. The 17×11’s are just to wide up front and actually hit the A-arms! Even with the tires, i managed to have a few good sessions running as with that c6 z06. On monday and tuesday my buddy wally came out with his st-2 prepared vette and we ran side by side for a while. This was honestly the most fun I’ve had with my car since I’ve owned it. The vette is just SO fast, that I need to have someone with another fast car for me to “chase” for an HPDE to even be fun!
