Steward's Comments:
Another stock car combo this week.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the American Sportscar, the Chevrolet Corvette. It's also the 50th anniversary of the iconic '63 split window coupe. In honor of these events, the annual Monterey Motorsports Reunion, held at Laguna Seca, is making its own tribute to the Corvette, next weekend. This is a fantastic event, a can't miss for me. I attended for the first time in 2005 and have not missed one since. This combo is probably not for everyone, the car is a pleasure to drive, but the tires, brakes and gearbox are definitely period correct for a road car. It only has 3 gears, but there's no fear of topping out on the straights. It won't even hit the limiter going down the hill on the main straight of Route X.
Don't try to paint this car as an automatic, though. The base '63 Corvette was supplied with a 250 HP 327 ci V-8, and a 3 speed manual transmission, no doubt a "3 on the tree". Some of you kids probably don't even know what that is. 
Anyhow, have fun thrashing the WRS tribute to the Corvette, I know I will. Viewing your Time Splits:
- You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'
- To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
- While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times

- The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!
Standard Clean OLR Rules:
- At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times.
- In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal two tires would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
- If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.
- Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track.
- No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
- If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
- No hybrids
- No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done, and we can read your mind. We will know.
- Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
- Save your best lap/ghost replay

hehe shame its not the GT350, but I guess its hard to expect everyone to have one. Looking forward to this one!
I can't even bring myself to change the wheels or even paint it:
I used to have mixed feelings about Laguna Seca too Manu but after our last excursion here, all that changed... 
This car in stock trim is actually a fun blast round here, even with the 3 speed guess-box. Anyway, some splits to kick it off:
