Come on guys and gals..who is going to step up and slow the Rookie down? June 28, Raceway Park, East Coast Supercharging Corvette Challenge presented by Yank Racing Converters. Do we have to put a bounty on the rookie?

Who is making the move to get their picture in the Top 5 on the Corvette Challenge home page?

She's human.... I'm sure someone will have her # but not until she has a 10 point lead

I'am afraid there's no hope this year. Maybe the hubby will help out next spring and put one in the oven. She won't be able to reach the pedals than.

The "ROOK",tough to beat, why? (1),easy on the eyes (distracts the drivers) (2) ,she's got a consistent car,(3) nice person (disarms the other drivers), thus taking away the killer instinct,(4)) she got JPee whispering all the tricks,strageties,in her ear,thus taking advantage of "decades"(millennium?) of racing experience (5) well, quite frankly, she's pretty good racer without all the extras going for her. But ,if anything holds true in the CC anybody can be beaten by anybody at anytime, I'm not afraid to race her,I told her that.....as long as it's the final round............ that way I only lose once.(Reverse physiology Hee Hee) all B.S. aside,just goes to show how special the CC is, as we have the most women competitors out of all the classes in R.P.

Didn't know any of the Linke clan was into the CC. I've seen Jeanne getting into stockers now since I've been back in NJ. My friend's son races against her in that class. He's a noob too, just started running last year. His dad has been racing better than 30 yrs, like Jeanne's dad, and the families are well acquainted. My friend's kid was totally frustrated chasing after Jeanne, and this is a kid who usually has no problem at all scoring, so she knows how to 'play 'em', for sure.

I started running the CC in Florida a couple of years back. Unknown to me, I was rookie of the year that year. Found out later, go figure. Had to stay out now due to health issues (severe vertigo / impending blackouts under hard acceleration). I may be able to have my problem surgically corrected, and if so, I'll likely be around the CC in ETown next year.

Absolutely!

Races are open to all Corvettes. Being a points racer is not mandatory.

Come give it a try.
