With only 4 competitors Crandon had more action that I was expecting. Racing trucks on dirt is a fun challenge, and I managed to not finish last and grab another post race interview. Up next is race 1 of 2024 ChampCar iRacing Series at Road Atlanta on Wednesday evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Hockenheimring seemed quite familiar to me though I just bought it in iRacing. Must have been on it at some point in the past. Only 6 cars. Was able to hang with the lead pack for a while but eventually lost the draft. Still managed to hold my P4 spot so it was a decent result. Up next is Crandon (d...

XSLR is like a decathlon running races on dirt and paved both oval and road course. This was race 3 of the road course part of the season.

Quite a few updates this week Car history: I have discovered the location of the crash. I had attempted this before but this time it worked. I revised my search to look for “accident report search”. I found this: https://ohtrafficdata.dps.ohio.gov/CrashRetrieval which required date of incident (on t...

Couple of good stories:

Beg borrow and mostly steal stuff, ended up with a dragstrip littered with bottles and cans and an arrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObHyssypBXg

Big scam by a Corvette dealer from the 80s-90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKmaxgZjXQs

After a several month delay, work is resuming. Center console: Was damaged after the crash I believe – maybe police tearing it apart looking for drugs? Disassemble, plastic weld many of the cracks, clean up the console including inevitable drink spills inside. Plastic welding went pretty well – its ...

Does it do lateral Gs also? Could be good for autocross as well - like cheap telemetry

I trust you have lost track of the friend as well. Keep us posted if anyone on the Corvette Forum has a connection!

I assume he will blend it into the driver door and passenger front fender.

The performance version of the Cybertruck is in the 11’s.
