Default 9c1 Fun

Well I have to say the '95 9C1 Caprice police car that I bought last week did me well this past Sunday. Ran it in Street ET. Killing the tree all day. Best light .003. Worst light was in the semi's where I got tree'd by John Hedenberg in his Mustang .026 to .072. Had a lot of fun and won some $$$. So the Caprice is officially broken in on the E'town 1/4 mile. Great car by the way. Now I know why Joe Amodea likes his car so much. See you boys this Sat.

Nice driving Bob, hopefully my new car fares as well as yours. Only downside is no more Corvette Challenge races for me as the '63 is a garage queen

Hey Artie,
Thanks for the congrats.
Good luck with the new GTO. As far as no more racing in the Corvette Challenge, take the '63 out of mothballs and bring it down and race it. What the hell you only go around once, know what I mean? Talk to ya soon.

Congrats Bob !! I'm sure you'll enjoy the heck out of that car.... well except for the fact that the door panels cost a small fortune




P.S. now you can rejoin ECIRS too
