Default Results and pics from Horsepower Sales Challenge at Moroso

Finally a rain free Saturday night! A great night of racing and some very interesting storylines played out in the pits. 16 Vettes participated and another 5 or so were out spectating. The Mustangs, Trucks and Mopars also had strong numbers tonight. Alan's car was a whisper away from the 10 second slip, Mark's Z06 finally was hitting the 11's and with some hookup he will be one to contend with, Robert's new setup was strong as he ran in the mid elevens and several new racers joined us for a taste of Challenge fun. The event winner was Neil Ramirez, runner up was John Peters and Jeff Brohman and Jeremy Preston (in Roger's Darth Vader Special) took the semi finalists positions. Thanks to Dino, Jeremy and the gang for the assistance they gave 'ol 1 window in the pits - and yes I have a new motor on order for next weekend. More detailed results will be posted later this week on the website. Here are some pics from last night.

John, congrats on the trophy! What did your wife say?

Man I'm Sorry I had to miss the event. I'm going to try to make next Saturday's event.

What was up with that bra on that Z06? I thought I hated the tube top mod, but that tops it. Hey, I guess he's racing it instead of waxing it so that's good.

I walked into the bedroom in the dark, and she could still see the outline of it as I walked in carrying it... she was very happy for me.

No good material for the website though

Thanks for everyone who showed up, I had a great time... Just keep those squirrels away Dino

Biggest thing she's seen in the bedroom in some time now, huh.

11.11 at 129.51 on a 1.75 60'

Obviously the car is moving on the big end, but I need to dial in the 60' which "should" net me comparable times to others with similiar setups...

I'm still thoroughly pleased with the performance of the car on my shakedown passes in 90* 80% humidity racing weather!

Thanks for the compliments Jeff!
