A lot of things can happen, a lot of things might change HOWEVER these are my plans for 2021 race wise.
May 7th Road America with the World Racing League
May 8th Road America with the World Racing League
May 16th Gingerman raceway with the South Bend SCCA
July 23rd Gingerman raceway with the South Bend SCCA
Aug 14-15th Autobahn with the 24 hours of Lemons
Sept 24th-26th NCM with the 24 hours of Lemons
Yes, thats more then I have done in the past, but with a lot of other events getting canned...I'm going racing!

To be honest I don't know 100%!!
I swapped out to alloy heads so we lost 40 pounds out of the nose. The car will go on the scales at Road America (part of getting its logbook for the WRL) but the last time we had the car on the scales:
Weight: 3040 pounds, (with 210 pounds of rat sitting in it!!)
LF 799 RF 734
LR 759 RR 749
51.2% Front 49.6% rear
49.5 crossweight.
So yes loosing the 40 pounds out of the nose isnt JUST loosing weight my hope is to balance the thing more. The car isnt bad but the tail gets happy in short corners and it will unload over hills. Without getting too crazy I'm running out of ideas as to what else to do to lighten him up more. I COULD get a mini starter on it, but RF is already the light corner of the car. They still make race hoods for the C4 but they are damn spendy!

Yea, as it is its a bitch to get the cap off the distributor (chevy problems!!).
In order to fix that I would need to add a front mount distributor, like an LT style...but those..SUCK for reliability. OR I would need to spend the big bucks and get a low profile MSD unit....which isn't legal for Lemons racing.
The battery is indeed already in the back, we mounted it in the cargo bucket that these Corvettes all have, so its behind the "b" pillar and VERY low in the chassis.
