Not my "cup of tea" even with the new GT500 motor.

Pssst..  wanna buy some Corvette wheels

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30643038/chevy-corvette-c8-wheels-stolen/

Going up for bid this '59 Bugeye Sprite once used at the Riverside driving school.

I'm enjoying following the dialog on this auction, given the history behind it. I expect the selling price to be much higher, truthfully I hope the current owner of #2128 ends up with it.

If I owned it I'd be tempted to bring it up to B/Prod. spec's and race it.

Anyone looking for a track day or Vintage racing car ?   Might need some updating to meet current reg's, ad doesn't indicate if the car comes with any spares. I have no connection to the selling party.

This kind of thing always worries me about certain car shows.

Highlights:
At the 3 hour mark is the RAC TT with several AC Cobra's, Jaguars, etc.  and at 5Hr.38 min. there is CAN-Am cars and GT40's.

Found this listing on RacingJunk.com, I have no affiliation with the seller or the item.

Would look great in a period paint scheme with a Mustang or Shelby on back.

This would be fun just to try out, let alone own.

If you have ever built or repaired vintage cars you can appreciate this mans tireless effort to build his dream car.  Amazing story and quite the car.

Drove into Cranberry yesterday afternoon. Anyone driving from Columbus Ohio (Hwy 70 eastbound) needs to be aware of lots of highway construction and large chuckholes and chunks of spent truck tires in various lanes until nearly Wheeling WV. Just wanted to give a heads up to those driving in today from that area.

Plans are to arrive on Wednesday am. I assume tech is on Thursday, my question is will there be an opportunity to heat cycle a set of race tires after tech?  I would only need five or six laps at moderate speeds, anyone else needing some laps to cycle tires?

I see this article by the 'bean counters" as fiction, but the reality is both companies are not doing extremely well with few model exceptions. With Ford eliminating sedans in favor of SUV's time will tell if this product reduction will help or hurt the bottom line. A merger would make both companies one mega automobile company, but at what cost ?
