Edgar moved away and sold his car to me. I raced it alot until December 2016 when I decided to give it a total makeover. I hope to have it back out this year.
Ralph still pokes his head in here from time to time, as does Ellis.
Chris hasn't been around since Blueberry got sold to KAZ in Florida, but I believe he has sold it now, but not sure. It might be back up here in Jersey...
Good of you to stop in.

At some point, Edgar handed over the reigns of the challenge video page to someone else. Though, I can’t remember who it was. So, I believe all the videos and articles are still in tact.
it would be cool to have a Thread in Remembrance of the Corvette Challenge Series... post up pics to share.

I still own Blueberry. It's up in Jersey a stone throw from Atco. Plans are to have Bud McNasby do some fine tuning and run some 10.0 index races this spring. Blueberry will be put up for sale at that time. This was going to happen last year but was postponed due to covid.

I sold my car to Dennis Kasmir when E-town shut down racing.
Have not raced since. Can't even begin to tell you how much I miss it!
ATCO for me was a no go, just too much of a cluster f*ck every time I went, so I basically bagged it and sold to Dennis.
Great memories for sure of everyone!!
Went to E-town 2-3x a week for almost 20 yrs!

Do you go to the Chevy Show at MG? There are several of the former CC racers that race that event.

I hope you guys can get back to racing...I raced the CC at Bradenton with Tracy Lewis mostly and the Palm Beach CC with Bob Mancuso some as well...I had a lot of fun at Carolina Dragway, the house of hook, when we had those National challenges...I am still racing but went to a dedicated drag car in 08 with an 81 Camaro...now I race a 79 Monte Carlo as many of y'all know...I am retired so I pretty much race full time...it is a small world in that the former owner of Carolina Dragway, Jeff Miles, is now the manager of my home track, Orlando Speedworld Dragway...it was good to see Bob at Palm Beach a few weeks ago...
