Default Blauvelt (CC), P. Bogdan (11), Michalkowski (10) and Harris (9) ECS CC Race 9 winners

Congratulations go out to Ralph Blauvelt winning his second career Corvette Challenge over Bob Trencherman today at E'town.

Paul Bogdan won his first Pro 11.50 race defeating first time entry Greg Colella.

Tommy Michalkowski was back in the winners circle in Pro 10.50 defating point leader Shawn Cavanagh

Dave Harris and Dave Shen dueled it out again with point leader Harris taking the win.

More details to come with full articles. I did take some video this time as I was dumped from eliminations early today

Congrats to all the winners today!

The DA really made for an intersting Q1, which also led to a new personal best for me with a 9.231 at 151.09. Maybe not the best qualifier in a 9.50 index, but I'll take it -- It also proves that I do in fact need a 'chute on the car (only thought to be "bling" to date)

This came just on the heels of our St. Louis adventure and I have to thank East Coast Supercharging for building a car that continues to amaze me, running these numbers time after time.

Did someone mention pictures? Vivian took a few and here they are:

Yeah, but I hear you weren't the only Pro 10.50 contender to go out first round either.

Congrats to the winners (and runner ups!) The competition just keeps getting better and better!

Congrats to Paul Bogdan on his first win in the 11.50 before he steps up to go into the 10.50 next year and to Greg Colella for being runner up his first time out taking out great competition like Farley and Boogieman!

Congrats to Dave Harris again! Dave Shen is an awesome racer and tough to beat!

Congrats to Ralph B, You took out some real good guys today!

Tommy, Damn, that transbrake works good! Usually you come out soft with 1.8-1.9 60's, this time it was a 1.40! That was a great race, but you treed me and got me up top too...

Great Job guys...

EDGAR: Thanks for the updates and all that you do for the series!!

Thanks Sean. I'm sure that it was just beginners luck. This class has some really tough competition. Nice run Paul, it couldn't have been closer.

Congrats to all the winners and runners up. This was an official Ralph day. Blauvelt with the CC win and Savarese clinching another Title for the year. It's all in the left lane Ralph, all in the left lane. See you guys in 2 weeks.

Congrats to the winners. I'm still licking my wounds. Don Peppler put me on the trailer earlier than I wanted to be. I was hoping to move up to second place but Don put a stop to that with a 13.357 on a 13.35 with a 005 light. I cut a descent light .03 but its not good enough. See you guys on the 30th.
