Renamed the thread
figured I would post here for fun asking for help before asking my local region, etc. Arfbro racers unit! I have been rebuilding a former World Challenge GT C6 Corvette, originally built by LG then campaigned by CRP for Hawk/Carlisle. Mike Skeen, a good friend, drove this one most of the time. Moving to vintage it was driven by quite a few people from 2014-2019 before sitting. I unfortunately wrecked it in a time trial but I intend to W2W locally and and SVRA/HSR as budget allows. The car is a pretty big basket case as most old pro race cars are once they are no longer competitive. Stock C5/6 steel frame, stock control arms, holinger sequential, 6.0 LS2, etc. I think it could be in one of the ST classes since it is a production Vette frame and not a tube/solid axle car for GT.

Both are fairly active on the corvetteforum from what I recall. To the OP - good luck with the car! GT2 was a FUN class to race in! I ran tube frame cars (ASA/GTA and TA2) in GTA, GT2 and then Trans Am TA2. A LOT of fun!! After having incidents with tube frames vs production cars, I'll take a tube frame any day...much easier / cheaper to repair!! And typically built like tanks! Safe as all get out too! |

This thing is a basket case View Quote I will say, it's never too late LOL! The going rate for a nice ASA/GTA car is $20-25K, that's what it was back in 2013 when I bought one and it's still about the same. Not that I'm trying to persuade you... LOL |

To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.
