There is no class for me.
I run 13.50 Stock. I see that I would need to run 12.50.

Same here....I'm even slower than that! Guess you have to have a low 12 second car to race this event.

cicch95,
In the Original Street Class it's certainly an advantage to be able to run close to the 12.5 index. Low 12s are not necessary - if you run quicker than 12.5 you're dis-qualified. All our classes are run heads up on a .500 pro tree so in theory a high 12 second car could do well by cutting good lights. We have a couple of Vettes in the Genuine Street Class that run right on the 11.5 index so they're tough to beat but Original Street is a new class; if you show up you may do better than you think.

For those of you that can't make that one, we have a Corvette Challenge the same day at E-Town. Be interesting to see how many we get.

Matter of fact, it's the Top 16 Invitational, something like $1000 at stake, So I know where at least 16 Corvettes will be.

Dr.Ron,
We'd love to have you. Don't worry about the pro tree; there will be plenty of people there that will be happy to give you a few tips.

I've tried a "Pro Tree" once or twice & would "Love" to help out... but I have a date at E Town that could be very profitable.. I'm SURE there will be 15 others who think the exact same

I'm aware of the event at E-Town. I didn't do the scheduling, but I'm SURE that there will be one or two at Atco with experience on a pro tree.

I didn't realize there was an event @ Etown the same day. That would be a tough choice, but, I want to get back to Atco for some REAL traction again!! My 1 trip to Atco was where I had my best time last year.

Ron you are in luck as the choice is not that tough.

The Corvette Challenge event on Nov 13 is the Top 16 Gamblers race.
It is an inviational race where a driver earns a birth by finishing in the Top 16 in points. It is a $100 entry and $1000 payout to the winner so it is a big deal for us. Not all drivers in the top 16 make the race so we go down the list in points for find fill ins.

I don't beleive you are a points racers so you would not be eligible for the race (this year ) though we would appreaciate your support as a spectator.

If you want to race, the Atco race is a good alternative for you.

Nope. Sorry that was not clear.

We do want drivers to be present becuase if someone breaks or is a no show, we go down the standings with who is there.

Last year we asked drivers to come and do time shots and if a spot opened, we moved them in.

To make this race work and have $1000 payout we must start with a 16 car field. Not all of the top 16 (me included) will be able to race that day.
