What a blast! Looks slow, but moving through them turns 35-50 feels like 150! 🤣

(53,380 posts)Corvette Convention held at Daytona. They are fun. Loved doing the 'fun runs' and reverse autocross as well.

(10,010 posts)It's fun to see who and what shows up and always a surprise when the simple little sleepers put on a good show.
I saw Mitsubishi Lancer show up once. The guy pulls out a jack and 4 wheels, swapped his street tires out then proceeded to show his car was, by far, the quickest around the track that day. That included several Vettes, a Shelby Cobra, a Lotus and a fast Alfa. At the end of the day he put those street tires back on and left.
Autocrossing is safe, healthy fun and a much better way to express one's driving skills than causing mayhem on the street. Glad you had fun and urge you to continue.

I've seen many large powerful cars humbled on some tracks where they can't get out of second.
Lots of fun. Inexpensive even with a special set of tires.
