Everything Autocross!

Last local event for 2008

CorvetteZ06.org — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:38:48 GMT

Today we ran the last local event of 2008 for the CorvetteZ06.org team here in St. Louis. It was another successful day today, the car taking FTD, Top Pax, 3rd on Pax and top on the Ladies Pax as well! This is the fourth time this year (out of 6) that I was able to finish on top of Pax. I'm pleased with this result, though I won't win overall Pax for the year, had the points been normal this year (6...(read more)

So what comes next?

CorvetteZ06.org — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:04:32 GMT

Now that the Corvette is pretty much sold, I will have it for a few more weeks, but John will get it some time after the Solo Nationals, I am trying to figure out what comes next? I was thinking something along the lines of a used BMW barge, maybe a 5 or 7 Series, but Terec reminded me that I have to stick with the Z in whatever I purchase, so if I want a bimmer that pretty much leaves me to a Z3-4...(read more)

For Sale No Longer?

CorvetteZ06.org — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:12:22 GMT

It looks like the Corvette Z06 has found a new home, John V will be taking it back east sometime after Nationals. John's a good friend of mine from back in the day when I used to beat him in B-Stock! :) I'm starting to get sad that the car will be going away, but I am glad it is going to a good home, someone who will autocross her just as much if not more than I have. We've still got a month or so...(read more)

New Look and New Video

CorvetteZ06.org — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:57:48 GMT

I spent the day today cleaning up the Corvette and then setup the new look of the car for the upcoming Solo Nationals. A big thanks to Dave at www.SoloPerformance.com for getting the vinyl cut yesterday. It took me pretty much all afternoon to get this done, with washing the car, clay barring a few parts of the car, polish and wax, applying the vinyl then another wash. I think the car turned out great,...(read more)

New Project240Z Video

Project240z, 1973 Datsun 240Z — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:06:11 GMT

Yesterday I spent an hour or so working on the motor in the garage. I only got one thing finished, and hopefully it is finished and doesn't need to come off again, I got the cover and gasket installed on the head. After that I got the oil cooler connections...(read more)

2004 Corvette Z06 For Sale!

CorvetteZ06.org — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 04:53:13 GMT

After the Solo Nationals this year the Corvette (available mid to late September) will be for sale as I have other plans for the next year. This car has been exciting, and if I didn't have some big things coming up in the next 12 months I would be keeping it and running it all next year. I wouldn't be opposed to someone buying the car and me co-driving it next year at National events, and some local...(read more)

Trailer is ready to go

Project 240Z Blog — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 02:24:26 GMT

So I picked up the trailer this evening, here's to hoping the tires have air in them tomorrow so I can bring the car home! Nick is supposed to be here at 9am and we'll head east at that point. I haven't made room for the car in the garage yet, but am...(read more)

Midiv Topeka Sunday Results

CorvetteZ06.org — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:30:06 GMT

Today went a little better than yesterday, weather wise and results wise for myself, though I still wasn't pleased with my performance. I did managed to move in front of Dave today, but could have moved up another spot had I been clean on my fastest run. Lucky for me my 5th run was finally clean, I was fortunate enough to get a red flag on a run, giving me a rerun. Had I not received the rerun i might...(read more)

Topeka Midiv Saturday

CorvetteZ06.org — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:14:54 GMT

Today was an interesting day. It was once again hot hot hot today. I managed to get faster on all of my runs, and my last run would have put me in 2nd but I picked up a cone in the last 25% of the course, so I had to sit on my third run. Dave did the same thing, though his third run was faster than mine. I believe we're sitting in 4th and 5th right now. We'll see how Sunday goes. I'll see if I can't...(read more)
