Re: Corvette build thread!

So our BIGGEST issue we had at our last race was that the car was too loose....CLEARLY that issue can be solved...with down force!!

A local stock car team knocked the body off of said stock car.  They used this as an excuse to update to a newer body.  We dug the spoiler out of the dumpster, hammered it flat, narrowed it, and bolted it up to the Vette.

As you can see it looks great, will be interesting to see how much the tail flexes thanks to it!!

Re: Corvette build thread!

I'm pretty sure MOST Lemons guys know about this (crossfire!!) ...however I have had a lot of people ask me questions at races, so why not share?

Re: Corvette build thread!

We talked about S bar bends in the door recently in another thread, so I thought I would show off some upgrades we did to our racecar.  I welded two more bars to attach the door bars to each other, and then welded two more support bars from the bottom bar to the frame.  These were not NEEDED to pass tech (ive got 3 races on the car so far)  but it was a request from the team.  Can't do this without them, and now that its done I'm happy we did it!
