Nice, congrats. C6s truly are awesome machines, even in stock trim.

Winning a season-long points championship is quite an accomplishment:
GOOD JOB!!!!!



Does N.E.D have a run-off between the various Class Champions to determine an overall Track Champion?

The car only gets part of the credit. I takes skill and patience to win it all. Congrats.

Was that the "Season" championship, or did you win class "That Day"

Either is impressive, but if it was the season championship, how many races are in the schedule for the Yr?

What difference does it make? Do you need to see all his timesheets too?

Well Excuuuuzzzzz me for asking.... I know you are way above my ability, and knowledge in Bracket Racing...

I'm really sorry if I offended a Pro like yourself for asking if it was that race or the Years Championship....

after thinking about it ... it makes a BIG difference... I'm not going to bring up names here but several forum members have won the YR championship at Englishtown (10 races)... then there are some who have won only 1 yr. championship....

as for myself... i have won NO Yr Championships, but am about 2nd or 3rd in overall wins...

I would guess you have WON many races with you smart Azz reply... and probably have an 11 sec car that runs 110+ mph...

True.

Makes a big difference in my opinion. By the way it was posted it appears as if it was a one day (or one weekend) type of event that he'd won which is course is still VERY impressive if that's the case.
But generally speaking a "championship" battle is fought over an entire season and for the most part denotes a series of races, not just one so I'm assuming that 'KyleBst264' was actually scoring points/winning throughout the whole year.
Ya know, in case you weren't sure of that.

I personally see no problem or ill intentions behind jpee's simple question but again that's just my opinion.

Damned impressive. Congrats.

I'm hoping next year I'll have a dedicated strip only car, and I'll be running points.

Congrats to Kyle. Great accomplishment.

Future.......did you find Jpee's question offensive? Is it OK to ask where they run their finals or is Glen pushing the envelope?

After looking at it again I believe I misunderstood the post. My initial interpretation was that Jpee was questioning the "quality or quantity" of the win(s). Wins are hard to come by and I thought I was defending Kyle. My apologies Jpee. Rushing to judgement is never a good thing.

Ralph you would make a good mediator (no offense intended...really)

Whoa..... clean-break..... I ain't pushin' NUTHIN.....


just curious if N.E.D. goes to my old stomping-grounds, Pittsburgh Raceway Park, for their Finals, simply because there is a large Chevrolet dealership, Grabiak Chevrolet (also a track sponsor), specializing in Corvette sales & service, 2 miles from the track, in-case Kyle needs some parts & technical help.

Glen you better be careful.....joking.

Apparently just a misunderstanding of the motivation of jpees questions.

Should take nothing away from Kyle's championship and a great job putting a vette in the winners circle
