Check schrader valves before hittin the track

I wasn doin final tech before my first day at the track with the Z28
Found two out of the four schrader valves to be loose..one was leaking air as soon as i removed the valve stem cap to check tire pressure,

Figure i'd give you guys a heads up.

That's funny you posted this. I had the same issue on the front left. It was leaking very badly. Tightened it up and no issues now.

Well, looks like I'll pick up a valve tool tomorrow. Not something I already own so it'll be cheap insurance for sure.

I had the same issue during a track day. Got ready to start a session, and one tire was down below 15 psi. These cars seem sensitive to this, for some reason; I've never had this happen on any other car I've owned...
