AUTOCROSS AT CROWS LANDING - 2nd Place run
This was an Autocross Event at Crows Landing, CA
Almost 130 cars running. It was hot, but I had a blast.
My car is hooked up with lots of #carbonfiber parts from #agmotorsports. I am running their canards, 5VM splitter. z06 skirts, mirror covers and winglet
Those GS1R Forgeline wheels look great and are tough enough to hold up to extreme conditions and heat
#rpmrollbars is keeping things safe inside.

    Hey, your video helped me back then to buy my C6 corvette! Can you please share your thoughts about your new C8 for those who are on the fence regarding buying one over the C6? Do you miss your manual transmission and the lighter weight? My impressions so far that the C8 is heavy, and much less communicative.. but yet, I see how much you enjoy racing it.

It is a lot of performance for the money, but I may have to put out a new video “3 Years with my C8!!! if you want to see my current car, go to C8racer on Instagram and you’ll see lots of videos.

      It really depends on what you want to use the car for. If you are interested in going to the track, the 18 and 19 tire combo offers a lot more tire choices. If you’re just going to drive it on the street, and want to fill up that wheel well, 19/20 would be fine

    Hey guys so i got a c6 base manual corvette. I only been to 1 hpde event so im still a beginner but i was wondering if the firehawk indy500 tire was any good to run for my application? Im looking for a grippier tire that can still be streetable and not cost me 300-400$ per tire because im still learning how to drive the car fast around the track. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

  • @robertojames7904
    @robertojames7904 Рік тому

    Caution: If you're gonna' autocross your car, read the SCCA rule book before you blindly follow some of this advice. For example, as he says, coil overs no doubt make an improvement. But if that's all you do, your C-6 will no longer be in "street" class. Street class allows you to change shocks, but not springs. So since the car didn't come with coil over shocks as OEM, you will bump up several classes to CAM-S or Prepared class if you eliminate the leaf springs and replace them with coil springs. HINT: CAM-S class allows all sorts of expensive mods and building a competitive car to the limits of the SCCA class rules won't be cheap. Coil-overs alone won't cut it because you'll be competing with guys who have LOTS of other performance changes (like the car in this video) and you'll be left in the dust. Likewise, just using a wider wheel will bump you up a class and the performance gain from larger tires alone will leave you at a competitive disadvantage relative to the guys in the higher classes who equip their cars to the limit of the rules. Street class lets you change the diameter by one inch, but you must use stock width wheels. Even at the local level, most guys equip their cars to the limit of the class rules, or close too it. I'd love to go with coil overs on my C-6, but since I want to remain in B Street class, I'm not going to do it and I'll stick with conventional shocks, sticky tires on stock wheel widths, and changing only one of my sway bars. I do registration duty at my local SCCA events and many first timers are shocked to learn that their lightly modified car will be competing two or three classes higher that it should be just because they've done something like add a non functional wing for styling purposes. So read the rule book first and either stay within class rules suited to your pocketbook and level of intensity or be prepared to be at a significant disadvantage by changing something which really doesn't help all that much but which bumps you up a class or two. Even the "sleepy eye" headlight mod for the C-5 will bump you out of street class because the intermediate position is not available from an unmodified factory switch. Doesn't seem quite fair, but thems the rules.

    • @c8racer621

      Yep. I was running in CAM-S. I ran across a C5 in STU. Have not seen a Corvette in that class before. My New C8 can run in SS with stock wheels or XS with my wider wheela and tires.
