Well sort of. At least it looks ready for the track. Got a set of numbers and corvette racing decals made up for her for the autocross I'll be running at tomorrow.

Oh it freakin poured, but wasn't enough to keep us from racing. I did well, but gotta work on looking further down the track. I even knew that coming into the race today and still didn't do it very well. Had some pretty good push with the wet weather and very little rear traction coming out of the understeer. Was fun to say the least. Hope to post a vid Sunday afternoon or monday morning.

Here's a pic of the only other Vette (and a C4 to boot) at the event.

Only a S2000 seemed to have issues at the end of the day, but with a half hour of tweeking and a lot of reving they got it going. Even with my ram air setup I didn't get any water, but it wasn't raining so bad in the afternoon session that I was in.

I'm curious, which ram air setup do you have?
