Default Vette Doctors Pro 11.50 Event #1 Winner - John Panuzzo

Congratulations to John Panuzzo for winning the first Vette Doctors Pro 11.50. John was showing that an old man can go rounds. With a full field, John went into the finals against Ellis Gray. John had two comp singles during the eliminations which helped him dial the car in. John will be driving Dennis Kazimir's 98 red C5 for the Pro 11.50 series.

Our next race will be May 31,2008.

Hey Pops, congrats on the win. I know your head might have exploded if this race had to be postponed again, but it looks like all your planning paid off for the win. Good job

Granted I had two comp singles, and was on the breaks, but only AFTER the 1000' and we were able to see EXACTLY what the car would have run based on those times!

I'm gonna do a little more practice on the tree, & I should be right on the money as far as hitting the tree....

I honestly feel sorry for Ralph & Chris as I WILL Be Calling both of then to hash out a plan for the next race on May 31st.

That only give me 35 days to call each of them 1 or 2 times a day for "strategy" meetings

And if either of them get a new unlisted phone # I KNOW where you live, & I'll come over to talk about it over a glass of wine

More like a bottle of wine with a straw sitting on the stoop.

What about the rules for lifting and sand bagging? You hitting the brakes on every pass. Shame on you.

I guess you are going to call Chris on his cell phone while he is at the Nationals.
