Members of Arizona Corvette Racing and their close friends and family got an opportunity to keep up the racing habit during the hot Arizona summer months by challenging each other on their kart racing skills at Octane Raceway in Scottsdale on August 20th.

Thanks to everyone who could attend. Best laps of the night: 1st place: Hunter Bennett, 2nd place: Dean Hinz,...

ACR members Hunter Bennett, Nick Fisher and Mark Fisher had the opportunity to head out to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas in April of 2015 with ProAutoSports and Speed Ventures.

Back straight was very quick with speeds between 150 and 160 mph not uncommon in the Corvette C6 z06. The surface of the track was very smooth and not something to which we were...
