Default Callin' you out!!!!

The third race of the the new E-Town Index series happens this weekend at Raceway Park. It is another off weekend for the Corvette Challenge and I hope you take advantage of the opportunity to try racing heads ups with other cars on a hard index in one of three classes. There is a 10.0 index which I would expect our 10.0 guys to dominate. There is an 11.0 Index that several of use fit into nicely and a 12.0 class that any high 11-second to mid 12-second car can easily compete in.

All racing is on a .500 Pro Tree which is not easy. Deep Staging is allowed and will help your reaction time and slow you down a little if you are too quick.

If your Corvette does not fit in one of these indexes, bring a car that does as it is open to all cars.

Redgar,
Since I have been rained out the past 2 weekends, I just might try and make the trip up.

What time does it start??

Scheduled for 4 pm.

I'd get there by 3:30 so you have time to unload and be ready to go

I'll be there running the Mustang in the 11.0 index.
My Dad also plans to run his Vette in the 12.0 index.

Ok, so then you run the 11.0 Index...you could still run low 11s all day long even in the car's current trim and in the heat.

Looks like I might make it in the 12.0 class No Not With My Car Dennis will loan me his C5 and "IF" very big IF I win anything we'll split...

His car has been running 11.8 shallow.. so I think it will be perfect if I go in DEEP.. now the only problem is if the "old man" can still see a Pro Tree
