Getting excited !! Time to start car prep. I've still got to bed my new Carbotech RP2's and change out my brake fluid.

71corv 06-21-2011 7:48pm

Put new pads in about a month ago before heading to VIR. Should be good to go. Just need to do the brake fluid.

Gene :drivingskid:

Car is prepped. :dance::dance: New brake fluid, Carbotech RP-2's and XP-8's, Bilstein shocks and Toyo R888's.

I REALLLLLY need seats. Next years addition.


BTW- Bedding the RP2s on a local road gets you some funny looks. :lol:

What an event !! No rain and hot as hell !!

71corv 06-28-2011 8:06pm

Yes, it was "HOT". Stopped by Monday but you were out . Didn't get a chance to come back. Maybe I'll catch you at a later event. That was a nice ZR1 in your group.

Sorry to have missed you. Yea, young kid,lots a money, cute GF a real loser.:lol: I'll tell you the AC in my trailer made the event tolerable. What were you driving ?

Would have been nice to have some A/C both days.Spent some time in the classroom area to cool down. I have an 02 Z06, quicksilver with blue painters tape on the front and along the sides. I think the man I talked to said you were in a black C6.

71corv 06-30-2011 8:32pm

Grand Sport. Just kidding. :lol:

71corv 07-01-2011 8:25pm

Wish I had made it back to see you. Would have liked to take a close look at the Grand Sport. If I ever get another vette, probably will be the GS.

Do you attend any FATT events at Summit ? I think we are doing the NASA event in August. Plus I'll hit a FATT either late July or August.
