2023 Backroads Appalachia Rally, Rally North America ... Driving Coupe 674!

[Gbeck]

I drove my Gen 2 Type 65 Coupe in Rally North America's 2023 Backroads Appalachia Rally. It was four days of road-going fun on the back roads of western Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. The highlights were paced laps on Bristol, some hard-charging runs on The Dragon Slayer, a tour of the Corvette plant in Bowling Green and the gratitude of the Concerns Of Police Survivors representatives for us raising over $225,000 for fallen police officers!

The round trip was a little over 3,000 miles. The car performed flawlessly, but the AC can't quite keep up on sunny days over about 90 degrees. That's when I leave the AC on and open the windows!
