Sweet, I'll come find you Greg. Just keep your eyes peeled for the Z06 that is dumped on its nuts. I just lowered it a lot more over the weekend.

Hey guys, just gettin back to you about the meet.

We are having the meet in Louisville KY on Sunday, April 27th at ***'s Park if any of you are interested in coming. The meet will start at 2pm.

Directions.....

Take I-71 south going to Louisville.
Take Zorn Ave. exit
Take right at the end of exit
Go to light and turn right on River Rd.

***'s Park is a decently big park, but you can see everything from the road. Only problem were are having right now is that the section we usually have this meet is under water or isn't cleaned up yet from being under water from the Ohio river flooding with all the rain lately. There is another section of the park on the right that some Honda guys used 2 weekends ago that was fine.

Either way, if you come both sections of the park is within the first mile or mile and a half down River Rd. so its not hard to find. If any of you guys are interested, post up and let me know. I'd like to see more EVO's than Suby's this time around. They always come in mass numbers.

If you have any questions, ask away. If your coming, please put your name on the list. Hope to see you guys there...

1. Corey - GG EVO 9

Of course it's Popp approved, he's the one that told me what to do.

He will be aligning it today and corner weighting it. Gotta love a bone stock car that you can affectively corner weight.


Yeah Vettes are low to begin with, but they have ridiculous wheel gap. I still have about an inch of gap front and rear, but it was around 3 inches to begin with. A lot of people go a lot lower than I did. It doesn't have a splitter, it has two corner lips under the car that are extremely flexible and then the center part that drops down is mounted to a spring loaded metal frame which allows it to flex pretty well. It is a bottom feed radiator setup with the radiator laid back at an angle. Overall a very strange car with the transverse leaf springs and everything, but they are such an awesome car to drive. And with those massive Azenis tires I put on it, the thing sticks like glue.

You are correct. Let me dig it all out and see what I have. I'll get back to you in a couple days.


PS Mid Ohio is teh suck in the rain with a Vette.

But the 5 dry laps we had were scary fast.

I didn't time any of DB's runs, but he looked like one of the faster guys in his group and the car seemed very composed coming out of the carousel. The RWD guys were all really loose through there, and even Alex was a little wiggly before he swapped out those pimpin' blue wheels.
