Default Congrats Ron Higgins!

Ron took the win today over an always tough Steve Pistelli..
Congrats to you both.

It was a very difficult day for all of us.

Corvette racing friend Steve Ciregna won the Modern Muscle over Keith Burnham.

Stay strong everyone....

Congrats Ron and Steve!

It was a tough day to race. Good to see a lot of faces I haven't seen in a couple years.

We had a good track surface yesterday, but very windy!

I watched the same pair of cars race each other three times to determine a winner. Finally, one bulbed which ended their battle. Many leaves and debris blowing around yesterday.

I swear I staged on leaves in the 2nd round! My stage bulb was flickering from all the leaves blowing and I wasn't moving.

Was a somber day due to the recent loss of John P. as a result of his injuries from last weeks crash.

Congrats to Ron Higgins and Steve Pistilli winner and runner-up in the Corvette Challenge and congrats to Steve Ciregna and Keith Burnham winner and runner-up in the Modern Muscle race.

For me it was a very sad day. The Corvette Challenge will never be the same without Jpee.

Congrats Ron!

As I told Ron at the track Saturday was his day, but I think it is Pistelli's year!
