Awesome--now I need to get 3 inch spacer adapters for the new rims for the Vette. Any ideas?

Try converting it to lug bolts. I'm surprised a VW guy didn't come up with that right off.

Paul, I need to take up the space between the high positive offset 93 Corvette Sawblades and the low negative offset hub location to keep the backspacing near stock so that the rims will clear and the wheel bearing won't suffer excessive loading. Got it? I wish it were as simple as lugbolts. :rolleyes:

Just came back from a drive down to see the oval. Holy pavement it's big. Met Jerry and Sharron the owners. Very nice couple who look eager to do this. Can't wait.

One thing though. I realize that some in the club want higher speeds and they are certainly attainable on this track, but I would suggest temperance when deciding on course design. Solo 2 is a low speed car control activity. I would hate to see someone go off an edge of the track and role away on their roof.

I'm hoping it will be possible to to do a down and back some way as the track appears to be wide enough. At least it would give Paul a chance to practice his tail out driving skills. :drive1:

Google maps has it as 35 miles from Vergennes on 22a.

Ditto.

Great job Seth! Seth needs a BIG round of applause for making this happen. :partyman:

I know Bill is pretty comfortable with setting up and running the timing equipment..before the event I should get a couple of more people more aquainted with the timing equipment. Saturday autocrosses will be difficult for me to attend.
