Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Nah, the heat is brutal. Luckily, our autocross season ends in July. Next race isn't till September. I couldn't imagine really enjoying a full-out track day anywhere in florida during the month of august.
)Hey shakedown, I won't comment on the non racer in here but I decided to tough it out and head south to PBIR. Then I noticed the inside of the drivers side rear wheel. Solid grease. Guess they need to seat that seal a little better after installing the 2nd tranny.
It's a comfy 75 deg in here. :thumbsup:

pleaseSince I'm the only other person in this thread, I will deduce from that, your comment was aimed at me?
In response:
1) You obviously don't understand sarcasm.
2) "it's an age thing" can apply to any of us.
3) If you look at the comment in (parentheses), you would have noted the hypocritical notation (apparently Shakedown got it:thumbsup
.One really shouldn't assume things.
I've certainly done my share of "racing" and high speed driving:rofl1:
And frankly, I wouldn't even consider going "racing" in heat like we've been having lately.
There have been heat advisories all over the state with "feels like temps" over 100 degrees!
Good heat stroke and exhaustion weather my friend and the older we get, the more succeptable we become. The actual effects of heat can be reduced by fitness, hydration and paying close attention to your body's clues.:thumbsup:
Besides, automotive parts take a serious beating the hotter it becomes and performance tends to suffer.
Just a "non-racers" POV:wavey:

I understood your post as you intended. Did I say something that set you off? Maybe you're just having a bad day? Talk about making a mountain out of nothing.
BTW, I didn't take it as sarcasm:
Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.

You're too easy:rofl1:
Maybe you're just having a bad day?
Well, other than being in constant pain for the last 3 days with my lower back, (it's that whole age and ugly living thing again), my day is going very well:thumbsup:

Well then, that's good to hear:thumbsup:
So, whose repairing your transmission?
Did you find the source of the grease?
So now you're a mind reader?
A little pissy don't you think?
Nope:nonod: Just responding. Don't mind if people respond to your comments do you?

Amen!:thumbsup:
If I thought it was a little pissy I wouldn’t have posted it. Now you’re the mind reader.
The intent of this thread was to see if any other members were racing and then I hoped to find out how they were dealing with the heat. Thank you for your contribution.

Fantastic!!! I will not wish you luck because luck has nothing to do with it.
It is knowledge, imagination and hard work that has made you successful.

Car is still in the shop. I've missed all but 3 races this year due to GM Warranty work. Car has been at the Vette Doctor about 3 months total this year. Every damn time I take it in it's 2 or 3 weeks before I get it back.

Whats wrong with the car ?
Here's a starting point Phil:

They cannot find what's causing the misfires. GM is going to have another huge bill. New plugs, wires, pcm and when I stopped by yesterday they had pulled the intake to replace the MAF sensor.
I didn't check with them today.
