You know, I remember when you used to post these events and the thread would go 30+ posts about people attending.

It's a shame they moved it to Friday nights... I'm guessing that has a lot to do with it.

I'll be following along on 1320go.com

That was back in the day when I was dealing with Sue Moroso directly. An operator that actually worked with us and for us, not against us.

Steve and I are taking our rivalry to the mile top speed event this morning..

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...ort-100-a.html

www.milemarker-1.com

I couldn't race last night and again today so I had to choose...

I'll try to make the next challenge but Fridays are really tough for me, some of us aren't independently wealthy and have to work for a living!

Best reaction time is #1 qualifier and so on down the line. Then the pairings are calculated by the computer. Been doing it like this since we started the series, works out well.

Thank you...... I am so glad that the challenge series is on Saturday. Friday night is a zoo. We only had 6 cars at the Corvette challenge and didn't leave there until 12 midnight.
