The end of the build was disappointing in more ways than one, I could go back and look at footage from the other days but not from the end of the build.
And now there is no information anywhere apart from a little here telling us of the end result.Last edited by 65RHDEER; March 16, 2015, 01:30 AM.Tim

Coincidentally was just trying to talk my wife into a Vette today. She said she'd rather drive my stake truck.Comment

Stay tuned everyone. The reason that the filming stopped was because the equipment had to go back as it cost over a $1000 a day to keep it. I am waiting on video's from this weekend of it on the chassis dyno and its track time down in Bowling Green, Ky. I will get it posted up as soon as I get it.Comment

The RideTech 48 Hour Corvette gets the golden ticket to Scottsdale shoot out! Leader Board Loaded With RideTech In Raleigh The RideTech team traveled to Raleigh, NC this past weekend to compete in the Goodguys' Autocross Series with more stellar results.
Friday started off a bit rainy but when the action got started in the afternoon, Bret Voelkel in the RideTech 69 Mustang and Chris Smith in the 48 Hour Corvette immediately put down the fast laps. At the end of Friday the Corvette developed an engine miss that was ultimately diagnosed as a bad lifter. Smitty and the rest of the RideTech team spent most of Friday evening resolving that issue in order to make the call on Saturday morning. Saturday’s weather was hot and sunny making for a more challenging track surface but the RideTech cars remained near the top of the leader board.
The weather was looking much worse on Sunday but the competition was completed by 11:00 AM with Kyle Tucker taking the top spot and Chris Smith and the RideTech 48 Hour Corvette placing 2nd and thereby winning the invitation to the year end Scottsdale “Duel in the Desert” autocross shootout. Bret Voelkel in the RideTech 69 Mustang finished 4th.
Smitty had this to say about the weekend’s results: "All the work everyone has put into this Corvette is showing every weekend. The car continues to get faster and faster. We just locked in our spot for Scottsdale and we haven't even turned this animal up yet. This is the year of the Corvette!"
The weekend was not all smiles and sunshine, but with the team's strong determination and help from a few others in the sport and industry, we persevered. When Bret Voelkel was asked about Raleigh and the weekend’s outcome he said: " The Corvette and the Mustang were welcomed with a huge amount of enthusiasm at Raleigh…I’m glad we could perform up to expectations. As with any high performance car, there were some significant challenges to overcome this weekend…our heroes among heroes at Raleigh were Lokar, MSD, Tim McGilton, and Chris Smith for keeping the Corvette up and running!"
Chris Smith will be running the 48 Hour Corvette this coming weekend in Kissimmee at the Goodguys' 2nd Annual Florida Nationals. (EVENT INFO)
Chris & Bret were not the only successful RideTech Nation members this weekend. RideTech Shocks and Falken tires were on 4 of the top 5 in the Pro Class including Rob MacGregor's "Hellboy" C10 and Keith Corrigan's "Velocity" Camaro.
