Hey great!!! Are you in Virginia?
Both Vettes? I presume heads-up with the the C4 and bracket with the other (did not see another in your profile).
If you don't mind, send me an email at edgarperez@corvettechallenge.info so I can add you to the list

I can't afford a 44 yet, so I think I'll just be there for show if I have the motor finished. Sounds like an awesome event.
106, that's a wicked lookin 84 in your profile. I've got an 84, and I'd settle for double your quarter time right now

Edgar,
I do have one question.
If you are knocked out of the challenge is there a test & tune available to keep drag racing or are you on the trailor. I would hate to come down and run 3 or 4 times and be done. That would be an eight hour drive for 3 or 4 runs. Not saying i cannot hit a light or run the number, but sh@t happens at the line.

I'm in. Sounds like fun, but I want to make sure I can get several runs in if I drive to Richmond.

The track is ours.
We will have a open time run session that will last at least 2 hours. If you figure we will have 100 cars you should plenty of time to make as many passes as you want.
Jim, we are not planning on time runs after being eliminated. Keep in mind we have buy backs. If you lose in the first or the second round you will be able to buy back in for $25 bucks which goes to the payout.
So you are in right Jim

11.50 with a hardtop is good. 11.49 is not
They are an IHRA track
