Just a couple of quickies as I only had a crappy camera with me. This extreme sized setup is auto-x only, I don't drive on the track or the street with tires this big as it would track like a SOB. The car is slightly lowered, I would prefer to drop it a little more but the roads around here are pretty horrible and there is already a couple of places that I can scrape.

345/30R18 rear

I challenge anyone to fit more tire under the car than that!

Poor guy was getting thrown around like a rag doll, still has the awful stock Corvette seats. He said at the end of a run his forearms were on fire from hanging on for dear life. He had the new race seat with him in the trailer and was going to swap it over at lunch but he never got a chance.
