Racerboy Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 If I decided to run, what class would I be in? 87 Corvette full cage full interior Stock brakes with Hawk pads and ducts completely street legal full tank minus me 3,540 357 rear wheel HP DOT race tires ??? OR NON DOT slicks??? Quote
TexaST-1 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 Racerboy, goto to NASA's web site and look at the rules for VVC. It appears you will be in Level 1. 3,540/357 wheel = 9.915:1. Max would be 7.8 to 1 so you are very safe. Your tire width maybe an issue for VVC-1 and Slicks will put you all the up to X. Bob Mayer hangs out there as well as some other 600+ HP C5s. Mallet Cars built my C5. Lance and Chuck are good friends and I am sure they will come out to the race in September. Quote
Jaymz Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I will be there in VVCx. If you run slicks you will be in X. Otherwise put some DOT's on it and run VVC1. Either way sign up now so we will have a big class and that will get more people to sign up. James Quote
Z06RACER Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 James... 1600HP???? 2100lbs??? VVC x!!! HOLY SH*T BATMAN......what am I supposed to do against that????????? I'm bringing a chain and hooking it on your tow hook so I can come in second!! Quote
Jaymz Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Ahh Bob.. That was just to get a laugh or two. I can't lie.. It's only 1400 HP.. Quote
Z06RACER Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Oh Good ...for a second there I thought I was screwed!!!! 2100lbs....I hope nobody leans on the car...it might fall apart. what the hell is left in the thing???? Quote
Jaymz Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I keep it together with duct tape and balsa wood. It's a wonderfully fast combination. Quote
Bus Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 If my car is still running I'll be there. Someone has to be last. James talked me into running at Mid Ohio in April. By the way James did you get your car running? What was wrong?? 91 Vette VVCX 3000 lbs 300 HP 300 lb driver Quote
Jaymz Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 New motor on the way. I haven't even taken the heads off the old one. I kinda knew it was time before it happened. 4 years on a race motor is alot. Quote
ledfoot2 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Hey Jamymz...Can you post some pics of your car? Quote
