Default Raced my first Corvette Challenge at Etown today

Got my *** handed to me at the tree in the first round by Paul
Very nice meeting some of you guys-was real nice to see you again Bruce.
You guys really are talented, I have a new found respect for the way you guys bring it-you have it down to a science.

I've always raced heads up in the past with my old Cartek Trans Am-I have no problem admitting bracket racing is much harder-I'll see you guys again.
Thanks for being so friendly to me today I appreciate it.

,Mark

Hey I saw you out there! I was making my first passes (ever) so I stuck with test and tune. I've got a silver 99 that was parked in lanes 1/2 throughout the day, you may have seen me.

Mark - Bracket racing can humble anybody. It was a good day of racing. Today was my first good look at your car. It is a fine example of what a C3 hot rod should be. Well done front to back.

Yeah that was me! Were you the guy that approached me to talk about the wagon wheels? Sorry I was a bit short, I was trying to sort out my PSI and then the lane started getting pulled mid convo. I should have hung around the corvette challenge guys more, I met a few guys after and everyone was really nice. I just didn't want my car to be dead in the lane when it got pulled lol, seemed like when test and tune wasn't racing, you guys were and vice versa

Congrats to the OP on his first CC, it is a great series for sure.

And to Edgar, I had the privilege and honor to participate during your reign as head coordinator and facilitator. We all were lucky to have someone with as much passion and desire to promote the series as well as each of us.

You my friend are one of a kind and I add a special thank you to you for all you did.
