Running at track will not void your warranty unless maybe you really abuse it which I don't know what would qualify for that. The General knows that some of us will track these cars. They even said they designed the roof in such a way that a person would have extra headroom for a helmet. Now, If you heavily modified it( cam, slicks, ect ) and broke it, there may be a problem there. Otherwise, you should be able to go to the drag strip or road track and run it and be ok. After all , thats what it's supposed to do, right? Mine broke because of a known defective part. I understand no one has broken the new passenger side cv joint yet. Just little things that will work itself out over time.

..... if your December Corvette-function isn't 'covered' -yet, I'm told a group of Corvette-owners is planning another get-together/test-n-tune session at Orlando Speed World Dragway on Sunday 3 December, from noon until 5:00 PM:
if that becomes fact, I will post it here.

Happy to report I got car back earlier than expected. They replaced pass side axle and cv joint with the new improved part. They also replaced side cover of diff with a new piece as old one was damaged when cv joint came apart. They pressure washed underside of car to clean up all the grease that went all over the place when it came apart. A quality job from a quality dealership! Planning to go to test and tune on the 21st if all goes well. Will put it into the 11's then!

It was posted today on another Corvette-based Forum that a Corvette get-together/test-n-tune day will be held at Orlando Speed World Dragway on Sunday 3 December:
I am posting a link to that announcement here, hoping it isn't against Forum-protocol, and will request that a similar announcement be posted on this Forum, as-well.....
