Really enjoying your posts detailing your Spec Corvette experiences. If you don't mind my asking, can you give us some idea what you pay (just to the event organizers, including track access) for running at Laguna Seca. I've tracked there several times so I'm familiar with all the other associated costs. Thanks in advance and keep the great videos coming!
@@joshc1017 what's always held me back is being a moron mechanically. I've never turned a wrench really. Well, that and space for a trailer of some kind. I could keep a car in garage, not sure what I'd do as far as a trailer. No space on my property for one, at all, unfortunately. For finding a car, where would you start? Look for a C5 on auto trader or similar, seek out someone who has already built one, something else?
I found mine on Craig’s List and built it in my garage at home. If you get one with low miles, it’s just a matter of getting it caged and bolting in some parts. If you want a turn-key car, you can find one in the Spec Corvette racers group or have a builder like Phoenix (they’re expensive but good) or One Mo Time Racing (James Davidson in FL) put one together for you.
I am running the spec spoiler from G-Stream but no wings in Spec Corvette. That little spoiler produces quite a bit of extra downforce; so much that it took a while to figure out how to rebalance the car when we added it a couple years ago.
yes sir!

SCCA charged $702 for the double race weekend (Sat and Sun total).
@@joshc1017 Very reasonable; about what I paid last 2-day event there with Speed Ventures. Thanks for the quick reply.
Looks like a blast. I need to figure out how to get into this. I live not too far from VIR.
Do it! It’s the most fun you can have legally!

I'm surprised, I thought you were running a rear Gspeed wing but it looks like yours isn't but man it looks like a ton of fun!
