Default No Tears, No Excuses is resurrected!!!!!!

OK, girls, I have heard enough chatter lately to resurrect the No Tears, No Excuses race!

For those who don't know what No Tears No Excuses is........ The original race took place at Atco on November 19, 2005. It featured fine dining and quick racing Just about everyone went home with a new personal best but not everyone went home in one piece, complements of Atco HOOKIN' track prep Just an opportunity to blow off steam and run hard 'cause the season is OVER. Pick your battles, run what you brung, and, win or lose.........No Tears No Excuses.

Since we raced in 40 degree temps in 2005, I will move the race back a couple of weeks to November 1. This is the Saturday after the last CC race.

Everyone is invited but space will be limited. I would really like to see the top dogs from each Corvette Challenge class duke it out ***** to the wall! Although points will be final by then, there's no reason to let it all hang out and set up some grudge matches. 11.50, 10.0, 8.50, unlimited, brackets, etc.

The reason I'm announcing this so early is that I heat a bunch of mouths flapping so now you have almost half a year to get your junk together and call out whoever you want.

At the very least, I expect to see Boweryboy, Stealth, Shaw, Alan, Shen(s), Conway/Eddie, Farley, Major, Jay, Edgar, INSANITY, Panuzzzzzz, Ellis, Eric, Dr Ron, Valla (would be nice) etc.

This is it, ladies, soooooooo MAN UP!

Like last time, I will cater food, provide payouts if everyone pays and don't leave me hangin' and since I don't have a car, I will make sure to record Dr. Ron's EVERY pass so he doesn't have another breakdown that nobody saw his ALLEGED 11.22 pass.

Count Farley IN!!

Thanks Paul.

I will let it all hang out to see what a 3650lbs convertiable can do all tweaked out. 10.50? 10.40? or maybe a 10.30?

Time to step up to the plate and leave the tissues home!

Yes that was a great day at the track, air was good and the track was hookin'. Edgar ran his first ever 10 second (10.96?) pass that day too.

You posted this at 3 AM. Does this mean you're up already? I know seniors don't need much sleep.

You better hope that Jeanie goes A LOT of rounds this season. It ain't cheap to get into this program
