Last comment: Any new stories? Long Beach was a while back. Corvette finishes 1-2 in the French GT series few weeks back against competition...good stuff

What's the best thing you can do with the rear end of an old car? If you answered "make a couch out of it," we're right with you. We can't think of any better way to complete a lounge or family room than by putting half a vintage Vette in it and lighting up the bottom.
And don't think we're just saying this because of how much we liked the Aston Couch, this is 100% genuine affection. We've already ordered 4 to move into our living room and sit on while sipping a nice cold beer and talking about baseball.

Jeff from pnwzr1.com got to Long Beach a little earlier than we did and witnessed a real badboy street show a couple of days before the race. Here are his pics & the lowdown:
"Corvette Racing started round three of the ALMS series in the streets of downtown Long Beach. Oliver Gavin put on an action packed display of a pit stop for the party on Pine Street. To the roar of the crowd he smoked the tires as he left the pit box. After two runs, the third proved to be the best time. An abbreviated crew working with precision swapped the tires and got the car down as they always do in the pits."

Even though there was no competition in the GT1 class at Long Beach for the two Corvettes, finishing just 1 lap behind the overall leading Audi LMP1s after 70 laps on a tight street course is pretty impressive.
O'Connell and Magnussen finished 1st in the #3 car after Magnussen set a qualifying record on Friday with Gavin and Beretta right behind in #4.
Last comment: I second that...Brilliant race at Silvertsone! Top 5 separated by 8 seconds....now THATS GT1 racing at its best. Monza cant come soon enough.
