The owner of the Corvette is an awesome autocross racer! He brought this Corvette to this race just for kicks. His Corvette was setup for road-racing at much higher speeds than you see in autocross, but it is sure cool to see him drive it.

If you want to see the 2008 Subaru WRX STI go up against the SCCA national Champion in Autocross with his white Subaru WRX, you can see this other video:

Yea, the driver of the Subaru that spun-out is also a fantastic driver. He was pushing it to the limit to try to beat the SCCA national champion who was visiting out club for the weekend.

The red Cobalt SS/SC is mine. I wasn't racing that day, but I decided to get some good video. Here are some other videos of last weekend's race. I think you will like them! ...included are rides inside a Lotus and a race-prepared 2006 STI.

Enjoy!

Let me know what you think!

The insane corvette is back! He painted it black. It used to be red. He had one of the fastest times of the day.

looks pretty good!

I know a guy who mounted a spoiler looking just like that on the roof of his civic (really far forward, almost above the driver's head). It looked extremely stupid, but he got an extra 7 mph in the slalom.

(it was a stunt to see how far he could push the rules)
