Default Help us break a record...Come to race Nov 9th

It is our final Cartek Corvette Challenge for 2002. Wow 10 events.
We started the season with a bang getting as many as 82 Corvettes making first round in Event 3 on June 29th.

I would have bet my garage that 100 Corvettes in 1st round was acheivable within the coming 7 events. Unfortuantely we have not made it.....yet.

Saturday November 9, 2002 at 9 AM at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ (E-TOWN). So help us break the record and make the century mark and come out and close the season with us.

Mack after all was said and done, I the title was mine to take (were it not for a 3/1000th breakout) from Ralph so I can't say I needed him to miss any rounds at all.

However that being said, his not making it is probably the only thing that will slow him down.

Will make it if I can get my car back. It's in with the Doctors getting a hardened shaft and some fine tuning. Who knows, with the right weather, I may challenge your 11.66.......

Count me "IN".....

Edgar:
I thought you didn't take the title not because of your .003 breakout, but due to me running within .002 of my dial in, in our race...... :yesnod: :lol: :smash: :D

Billy:

What happened to your rib? Broke? I broke 3 over the summer when a unit pinned me up against the wall... Took some time for the soreness to go away. Hope you're feeling better.

I fractured a rib, I was in a car accident a week ago today. Definately not fun, I can't imagine breaking 3, ouch! Sneezing is the absolute worst! I also bruised my left knee, so shifting quick was pretty tough. :yesnod: But I'm doing much better than a week ago, thanks. :cheers:
