Default A fitting tribute

As most of you know, a good friend and drag racer, Keith Brownlee died last year from stomach cancer(my avatar is his car).

This past Saturday we had the Keith Brownlee Memorial Vette Doctor Pro 8 Shootout.

Keith raced his Black '86 vette whenever he could and always gave us a great wheelsup show.

The winner of this Memorial Shootout also has a Black C4 that runs 8's.
You can't really see the car in the first pic, but shown is the winner in the maroon T-Top, the runner up is next to him. The shorter guy with glasses is our own Phil DeJohn(he hangs out in the ZR1 section).
Also pictured are Carmen and Dennis from The Vette Doctors,John Mackey,Turbo Bob and Keith's family.

The cool part is that Keith drove his car on the street and this guy does as well.

We are trying to arrange a match race between Mike in the black C4 and Keith Valone(Spltwindo) in his red C4, take a gander.

Keith is definitely smiling from above.

Imagine if we would have had Keith in his 9 second beast and that 8 second one? Wow!

Nice pics Frank. Thanks.

Nice, however, to see the family have a chance to honor the man's legacy.

The next Corvette Challange is July 10th.
I hope to take a ride down the NJ Turnpike before the racing season is over

Mojo, I remember when you did the video compilation for him. Basically showed the progress of his car.

Although I didnt personally have the honor to know/meet/or even speak to him, from the responce and reaction from anyone that knew him, I wish I had.
