Through the water on street tires?? There is a drag strip close to me here in Indiana and I will not race there for that precise reason, no room to drive around the water box. Water + street tires = bad news.

My brother-in-law figured out what was causing the no-spark condition with this car. The ignition switch located on the steering column engine-side of the key cylinder. However, said part is a PITA to replace due to lack of space and having to start screws blindly among other things.

This car sat in a garage for several years before being driven last fall. The car has a Motion 350 with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine was running without any problem until the spring of 2012. There is plenty of fuel pumping into the Holley carb and there is 12V to the...

Thanks for the clarification!

I am confused... The ALMS standings on the Corvette Racing website show 2 and 4 as the fininshing positions for the Corvettes at Sebring. However, the picture that is on the site and the text of the article show and say 2 and 3. What is the right placing? I still don't like the streaming...

Perhaps there is a buildup of gunk on the fluid nozzles that needs to be cleaned or maybe the fluid hose is being pinched somewhere.

The dealer can probably do that for you but a portable unit like a TomTom or Garmin is much cheaper. The portable unit can also be reprogrammed while the car is moving, by the passenger of course. Last I knew, the factory navigation unit cannot be reprogrammed unless your car is stationary no...

I wonder how cars made to handle E10 will do on E15 when it is mandated? I can imagine corrosion in the fuel lines and deteriorating seals that will have to be retro fitted at owner expense just to meet a government fuel mandate.

Definitely a big chunk of change for a charity! I wish the Speed would put the charity cars in a separate list for high sales. Just makes sense to me to keep the regular sales together and separate from charity sales. Jay Leno's small tractor did sell for about $150000 or so for charity.

DDLS3 is right...without tuning and other modifications (i.e. headers, exhaust, etc) a new intake should only be considered for looks. I have a Blackwing on my 2006. I didn't really notice a difference at all other than it looks a lot nicer than the stock intake. We aren't telling you not to...

Does anyone know if a Corvette Corral is available at Rolex Grand Am Racing events? I know they are available at ALMS events, but Corvettes are new in Grand Am Racing. I have been looking both at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and on the Grand Am Racing websites to no avail. Yes, The IMS...

When I directed autocross in Italy we were lucky...got to use a biiiig aircraft parking apron. No light posts or curbs! It looked like the guy only had to go straight to trip the timer. Man that looks like it could be a total to me. Slamming against the curb that hard had to bend the frame...

Now when I go to Indy for the inagural Grand Am race there I will have something to root for!! WOO HOO!! The Grand Am race will be the Friday before the Brickyard 400 in September of 2012.

Roger, Remember, I said that my covers started cracking before I had the cover. A more plausible explanation is a heat related issue. The DRLs generate a lot of heat that is always there when you are driving. I would bet money that not all of the cars with this problem have been covered with...

No worries about the pic! Fixing my headlights is on my list for next spring. I'll probably finish school first then work on them.
