Default Vette Magic

I competed in the Annual Vette Magic race at Sacramento Raceway yesterday. It was a long day, but I ended up winning the Bracket 1 category and also ended up winning the whole event taking the "King of the Hill" trophy. There were over 75 cars running and it was good race day. In the first round I was lined up against a car dialed 9.50 and was able to pull off a .000 light. I knew then that it could be my day.
