Default FL Corvette Challenge, Round 1...In the Bag!!!

Man :D....it was such a great day, I don't know where to start :D (pics are at the bottom if you don't like reading ;) :D)

OK, Let me begin by thanking Bradenton Motorsports Park (Dave and Allen) for putting this all on, allowing us our own staging area and lanes and just plain everything!!! y'all ROCK!!!

Next, let me thank the sponsors and although we didn't have enough time to get 'em all printed, the shirts and a full compliment of trophies and awards will be given out for the March 22nd Round 2 Date! Thanks to Ecklers, Norris Motorsports (Mike), CorvetteConnections of Lee County(Keith), Faster Proms (Jeremy), The CorvetteForum (Troy) and the Z06Forum (Tom and Les) :D :cheers: We now have a ton of trophies and awards for the winners :D

Next...congrats go out to Emily Lewis for winning Round 1 of the Challenge :D :cheers:....damn it guys, we really need to learn how to stop jumping that light ;) :smash: and not just Bob, 16Again :jester But trust me, it wouldn't have mattered today.....in the last round she ran within 3/100ths of her dial-in and NAILED the tree :D :cheers:......next month y'all, next month :D.....congrats Emily :cheers: :D :cheers:

Bob (16Again) came in 2nd and I believe Marc (C5Man) came in 3rd :D :cheers:

The CorvetteConnections car took home best ET :eek: :D :cheers:

C5BTW had the best RT, with a .506 but that was during practice runs and not the qualification runs....during which, I ran a .518 but alas......not the best of the day ;) and although a trophy winning RT, they weren't printed in time :(....next month :D :cheers:

Thanks to TLewis and his family for running the whole show :D:D:D :cheers: ......without y'all, no way it'd be near as fun :D :cheers: And I gotta special smiley for Mrs TLewis ;) :reddevil :jester :blueangel: Tracy says he doesn't run the vette 'cause he wouldn't have the time to run the show, but I think it's because his 16 year-old daughter runs better than him :D....and most all of us on any given day!

Looking forward to next month and looking forward to going deeper than Round2 :D :cheers:

I'm not sure but it may have been Marc (Bat out of hell) who was low C5...we ran into a very strong headwind, like 40mph gusts, today so everyone's ET's and trap speeds were off a little...I'm still picking sand out of my ears and eyes... :D ..see ya next time Vince.. :thumbs:

Yes, a really fun day! The rain held off until my car was home and in the garage, I managed to go two rounds, but just couldn't get a decent light. And how about that wind? A good 20 mph right in our faces! I've got 10 lbs of sand in my car! And, of course, a big congrats to Emily on a decisive win! You've taken us all to school, and I hope we can be as good as you when we grow up! :lolg: :lolg:

Is anyone going to post the round-by-round results, including Dial-In, Reaction Time, and Elapsed Times? It'll give us people with snow STILL on the driveway something to think about, until June, July, or August..... :banghead:
