JP, read carefully, I entered the full tree class.

Bill and Eddie went red first round.

I got by with a nice package, .015 and .04 over slight brake tap.

Round 2 it bumped the rev limiter and I had to get out and gave my opponent an easy win.

Sucks to lose!!!

We fun anyway.

I am amazed the car is running 10.52 in 2000 feet DA.

Awesome job by the Vette Doctors

Edgar and I had a great time at Cecil but missed seeing other Corvetters joining in on the fun. Edgar's Vette continued to impress people as even the announcers spent nearly a minute talking about the way his Corveete would leap off the line - and this discussion was after his second run that he lost after hitting the rev-limiter on the 2nd to 3rd shift! There were alot of real neat cars at the event and you needed to be "fully on your game" to advance.

Awesome numbers Edgar. The launch on your car is pretty scary.
