NEW EVENT ADDED TO ORIGINAL POST!

Info below on the last event.

Yesterday was a Corvette Club hosted autocross at the Wings and Wheels event at the Rio Vista Airport. About 70 cars came out and it was ran extremely well. The track was massive and very high speed. I think i hit about 90mph, the fastest car of the day hit about 120mph. The track zig zagged through two runways and a taxiway. Gravel was a HUGE problem, it was everywhere and a lot of the RWD vettes just couldnt keep traction. The Subi ate them all alive! I dont have the results yet but i think i did pretty good. I had the corner balance and alignment done before this weekend and DAMN did it make a difference. The car is so well balanced now and turns so effortlessly. I decided to mount my Hoosier A6s since all the gravel was on the track. I just didnt want to ruin my street tires, ive already killed the shoulders enough. The slicks definitely made a difference as well but they do hide your mistakes. Luckily though through, the feedback i have gotten on IWSTI and what i have learned i knew almost all the mistakes i was making and tried to correct them as i went. I had passengers in my car a lot of the time so i couldnt focus 100% but i still had an absolute blast at the event. Some cool videos below, had a pretty awesome spin out into the field that absolutely covered the inside of my car with dust and hay.

Lets start out with a few pictures from the event.

If I can get my sway's installed this weekend (and my wisdom teeth don't bother me too much) that weekend I might have to come out for this.

As soon as you know you want to/can go, register because the event is limited to 70 or 100 vehicles (I dont remember exactly) and the spots go to members first then down the wait list of non-members. The last event was completely filled and they had to turn people away. Not their rules, its Mather Field's rules because we are racing on an active air strip so they limit the number of cars.

You will have a good time. The West Cargo Ramp is amazing, great surface to race on. Usually a nice open fast course.

I wanted to try and make it out there but had military duty so couldnt get out there. I did race the weekend before that and came in 11th out of 65 or so drivers. Definitely happy with the new slicks and all the advice i have gotten on IWSTI. Cant wait for this weekend!
