My first track day, I didn’t really believe these tires would get sticky at the track. I was wrong. Quite sticky to the touch.

I’ll edit GoPro footage down to a single lap next week sometime and post it. My son and I had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.

        Ouch, that sucks. Hopefully you were near a repair place or run ZPs.

        I considered not using ZPs and then got two flats picking up crap like that in a single week. Cured me of that consideration.

              oh yea lol, the car was so low I rubbed the dirt off his bed on the way up

              but the front splitter is much stronger than it looks, I already knew that from daily driving it lol

                Not something I’ve added to my car yet, this gives me more confidence. I just imagine ripping it off on a speed bump or something.

                  mine is stock, I haven’t tried an aftermarket one, but it’s definitely had some hard hits and scrapes but no real damage

                    Nice! My son keeps telling me I need that and a bunch of other stuff. I wasn’t sure but after my first track day I feel like I need a better handling car than this Corvette. So we’ll see.
