The Alvaka Ransomware RESCUE Corvettes did well.
I had a good time racing Buttonwillow Raceway Park #25 clockwise on Saturday.
I was by myself prepping and racing two cars in two classes, but I made it work. The afternoon leading up to and doing the two races was a bit tiring though.
In the Group Five GT2 race, the car was on good tires and she performed well despite not having the new splitter mounted. I think the Trackspec fender flares pull out a lot of air pressure.
The Group Seven race for T2 was interesting. I started last in position 26 as my times for qualifying were thrown out. My new Spec Corvette is a bit light and I forgot to add 30 lbs. So last place is where I started. I moved up over 20 positions to fifth overall and 2nd in T2. I just could reel in Roger in his Mustang.
