Autocross runs, how many this year?

Discover the staggering number of runs taken this year in a Corvette, nearing 350 with codriver runs. See how this heavy usage impacts the car's performance!

Discover the staggering number of runs taken this year in a Corvette, nearing 350 with codriver runs. See how this heavy usage impacts the car's performance!

So I've been meaning to do this for a while now, I added up the number of runs I've taken this year in the Corvette, it comes to somewhere near 130+ runs, I'm not exactly sure how many runs I got at the Evo school in Kansas City, but assuming I took at least 15 that puts the total around 133 considering the reruns at events I remember. That also doesn't include the Test&Tune in Topeka before the divisional in August.

That is a lot of runs on a car, but if you take into account the number of runs that codrivers have had (around 195) that brings the car's total up to over 300 for this year alone. No wonder the rear control arm bushings are worn out!

By my rough count I should have another 18 runs in the next week and a half assuming the car is repaired, plus codriver runs (18) that will put the total over 350 for the year without T&T events, we're also doing the Test & Tune this coming Sunday in Topeka.

Sometime I will go back and find results from all the events to get an accurate total, as well as a cone count for all of Dave's runs!
