Corvette Racing = Class Acts! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So me, my dad, and my girlfriend Pam headed to Limerock for the ALMS race today. I of course sported my 24 Hours of Lemons T-Shirt and Pam her Lemons hat. So we actually managed to get into conversations with a couple teams about Lemons (and I think we even convinced 3rd place at LeMans GT finishers Robertson Racing to actually do it), but nothing beat the reception we got at Corvette Racing.

I walked up and this guy ahead of me says to Oliver Gavin "Great job at LeMans, I don't know how you guys do it every year." He responds with "yeah I know, its tough but we are just driven" or something inspiring like that, and I say "Man I can't imagine, I have a hard enough time with the 24 hours of Lemons!"

Well that was like the secret password!

Their publicist (I guess thats who she was) was behind them holding the Lemans trophy and says "You're a Lemons Driver?" and I said "yeah I have a team we have run 5 races." She says back "some of our Engineers do Lemons too" which I knew. Now all 4 Corvette drivers are like asking me questions, Pam is looking at me like WTF is going on here these famous pros are asking my boyfriend about his piece of shit VW Fox?. They asked about our results and stuff. When I mentioned how we were up to 6th at Loudon and our engine blew up with 3 hours to go they all were like "wow man, that sucks we know how that is."

Then the best part, they invited us in to check out the garage, and the publicist was like "hey want to get a picture with the trophy?" I was like, HELL YEAH. So here we are:

Entirely grateful to the whole Corvette Racing team from Pratt & Miller. Also she said if we run into their Lemons team at a race to show them this, but we don't ever end up on the west coast so I doubt that will happen. Either way, was a great experience, and many thanks to Corvette Racing!
