Camped in the rain next to my car so I could be on the track first thing

Came in dead last. Had to convince the tech guy to let me actually compete because he thought my car was going to fold in half. Then I drove it three hours home in the night so I could be at Cars and Coffee for 8 AM. I love this damn car. Getting about 11 MPG now.

Damn how did you get it so good? The Gran Torino get’s 7-9 mpg

A manual trans and steady 60 mph cruising helped out a lot

It was an closed-road hillclimb near Owen Sound

That’s an awesome picture. The C3 has grown on me so much. It might be my favorite Vette. Great looking car man!

Oh how I wish we had hillclimb events here. There’s a park here that’s perfect for it with plenty of runoff on all sides.

Granted, Lubbock is pretty flat but this is one of the few places that actually has enjoyable elevation changes.

You should know that the saga of the cletusvette has pushed me over the edge to abandoning all other plans and finally getting that C3 I’ve wanted all my life. Thank you.
