Roger's 1980 Corvette

One of my friends at the track drives a 1980 Corvette, both to and from the track, and on the track. This one's had a few modifications, like a seriously beefed up rear-end and sports a chevy 383 under the hood with an MSD Digital 6 ignition.

Roger and I have raced against each other for a few years. He's been in the top ten in points at the track several times.

This is the first year I've seen his car run in the 11s.

Oh, by the way, those patches of bright blue? Those are racer's tape. He puts that there to protect the paint from rock chips and rubber flecks that are thrown up by the tires.
