Default Winners Savarese (ECS CC), Cavanagh (11.50) and Valla(Pro 8 Shootoout)

Trying the one thread thing this week.

Here is a quick reacap.

Ralph Savrese takes his first win in 2009 in the Corvette Challenge driving John Panuzzo's car when Michael Archibald broke out after treeing Ralph .007 to .060. Arch also took home the win in the Muscle car race. Great day both drivers.
Corvette Challenge Article

In the Anger Management Pro 11.50 it was Shawn Cavanagh taking the win over Paul Bogdan in the final. 18 Corvette came out for the class of 16 cars.
Pro 11.50 Index article

In the American Racing Pro 8 Shootout, we had our biggest class of the year with 6 entries. It came down to number 1 qualifier, Mike Conway, versus number 2, Angelo Valla. When the tree dropped Valla was gone and Mike's did not leave the line, obviously hurt. Valla went on to take the win.
Pro 8 Shootout article

Congrats to all the winners and thank you all for coming out.

more details to come.

Preliminary points for 11.50 are now done.

Interesting turn of events with points with the "Challenger" winning and the leader going out rd 2 and taking a penalty...we now have less than two round race between 1 and 2.
http://corvettechallenge.info/2009standingse.php

Only two penalties assessed to points drivers with Farley taking one and Bogdan taking the other.

Three different winners in three races this year on a tight race....good job lady and gentlemen

Pro 11.50 ladder

Look at Shawn making good on his word and taking out Farley and a penalty to boot.
We call that a 60 point swing boys and girls
