He did an excellent job. Also idle chatter on page 4 has Vette Magazine Editor Jay Heath, participating at the Bradenton Challenge.

Nice writeup Edgar and thanks from all of us for being such a promoter of our Corvette races to the rest of the drag racing world .

What a pretty green car (even the "smiley" matches it!)

Great publicity!.... But, they got my name wrong under my picture. It was still nice to be mentioned. Thanks Edgar, you rock.

Sorry Joe that is probably my fault

Ellis, you do air conditioning so if you are not in air conditioning, it might be a poor reflection of your performance
