My car was on the money it was running 8.42- 8.43 all night. I was racing pro I got into the semi finals but red lighted with a - 016 reaction time i won $75 in pro and I had a 000 on Saturday making it the fourth 000 of the year. In sportsman when I won $250 making a $325 night. Putting me into second place in points in sportsmen too bad we didn't have one more race to go. One of corvette challenge racers has won pro Jamie Jamison in points congratulations too Jamie and some of the best racing you did this year. For somebody who is 76 years young he is one of the best out there good deal.Thank you everybody and I will see everybody at the Corvette challenge next week......Rick.... Dan Sometime next month I would love to race at your track in Orlando give me a call 561-252-6276...
