Default Congrats to all the Show & Go racers.

I missed out on the event but congrats to all that participated and won.

I don't know all the results but our drivers did well

Young over Mojo in their class final
Muniz (Boogieman) over Korreck in their final
Don Peppler won Class A
David Hollingshead won Class C
Shuleski was runner up in his class to a fairly new racer who did not race the Challenge.

Default Great Day in the Show and GO on Sat.

Thanks Edgar, I had an excellent day running in the morning, in the finals Glenn and Korreck both went Red against me(I won the J Class which I believe had the C5s and C6s running in it). For the Show part of the event, I received a Runner UP plaque for Show.

I lost in the finals of the 94-96 class. I spun hard and couldn't catch him. The track was touchy all day. But the kid was thrilled as was his Dad so I was happy with 2nd.

Congrats to all, had a good time at E town this week, met some Forum members also.....won the show and go class for my year and came in second in the autocross. Should of won the first round in the drags but the tower had the wrong dial in, my fault for not looking at the time board before launch. How they missed my white numbers is a mystery to me, came within .32 of my dial in, other guy wasn't even close...oh well that's they way it goes.......

I claimed 1st place in B class: '68-73. Nice win with my 11 year old to watch and help. That's the second time I've done that. I took 1st in 2003 as well. Won 2 rounds in the Challenge that night. All on motor.

Pro 8 was rained upon today but at least I won the 1st and only round with a 9.82 @ 139+.

16 passes in 2 days. Whew! The car and I need a little down time.

They almost blew my numbers this weekend. I looked though and saw it was marked for 2.19. I had to stop and tell the guy. It would have been funny though running against a 14 second car and seeing him at the finish line before I even started.....

Pleasure was mine. Win or lose, it's always enjoyable to be out there with fellow Corvette owners. I still love that car of yours. If you ever decide to part with it put me on the list for 1st refusal. It would look good along side my '79 L82 and my '88 'vert.

Nice win Jerry and I'm happy to have 2ND. You earned your win. We had a boat load of cars in our J stock class. I really enjoyed the event. Racing just for fun is always a welcome break from chasing points and cash.

I just returned to the pits when I heard that announced over the pa, impossible to run a 2.19...good thing you caught that I went to the tower and they admitted their mistake with my dial in, but no re runs.....there's always next year....
