Change your flier Chuck. Time trials start at 4:00pm, usually earlier. Those that arrive at 5 will probably miss 2 time runs.

Another thing I may have missed, Tech is open until 5;30
Elimination rounds 6;30-9 PM
Glad you caught that one Willie!

Looks like we may have 2 lanes for the Corvettes. One for the automatic types and the other for the manual transmission equipped.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Thanks - I'll make those changes.

Thanks for spearheading this event Chuck. I will pass the flyer on to several of the guys in our local South Valley Club that don't frequent this forum. I'm sure we will come up with 5-6 cars that will attend this event. Keith

It is because of Chuck is why this event is taking place.
Each of us owes him a debt of gratitude for doing the ground work in addition to bringing Able Chevrolet on board to sponsor it.
Thanks to Chuck as well as to Rich Willhoff for making this happen and for all that you are both doing for the Corvette Community

Will be interesting to see what the turnout is? Perhaps Charles can post up weekly what he has for a count thus far once that is out a bit. I have been out the last 2 Wednesdays and I would say there is roughly 10 +/- cars out with a pretty even mix of C5,C6 and 7's mostly. Last Wednesday there was a C7 z06 with I believe the 850 Hennessy package that was having a tough time getting off the line. I do plan on trying to make most Wednesdays and may bust out the Challenger if I get energetic and throw the mufflers on it. I spend my time in the Jackpot class if anyone is out and wants to say hello.

Keith,
I forgot to mention that you could get a lot of practice laps in if you want to show up for the drag race Test And Tune Day at Sonoma which is on Saturday, May 27 from 11 AM-4 PM
A few years ago, Brian Kam got 32 runs in with his Camaro which I think may be a track test and tune day record.

Last night in Sonoma at the Wednesday Night drags, I counted some 18 Corvettes that were racing. Many from the South Bay Corvette Club which I believe some members were handing out some of Chuck's fliers for the Sonoma Magic Wednesday night race set for July 12
One thing I did find out was that some of the guys who are racing the stick shift types liked the idea of racing each other with the last car going up against the final car in the automatic transmission equipped for the overall championship trophy.
Soon, chuck will be posting a pre entry list here in the Nor Cal forums
that you will be able to add your name to. keep your eyes open for it!
A big thanks to Chuck as well as Able Chevrolet for setting up this race
From the talk last night in the staging lanes, this is going to be big

Boat Racer

Jim, We had a great time on Wednesday night at Sonoma Raceway and look forward to seeing the pre-entry list for "Sonoma Magic" so we can add our names to it. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the weather is as nice on July 12th as it was at this last event.

Thanks for passing them out.

Charles Gerughty

Hi everyone to date we have 10 entries. I've been a bit under the weather but I will get the list up this weekend. While this might seem a bit low it is still very early and many I have spoken to plan to attend but have not sent in their entry forms. The pre-entry list will definitely help.

Chuck

Jim McCombe

Chuck,
When you post the pre entry list, would it be possible to start a new thread so that it would be easier to find besides it would stand out and create a life of it's own?
Hope you are feeling better, I may have a few more names for you to add to your list that did not have access to the pre entry forms that you had made up.

Charles Gerughty

Yes I will start the pre-entry list in a separate forum later today.

Was at the track Sunday and I heard a lot of chatter about the July event.
Tech workers ere talking about it. Heard it over the PA system
A few times.
Should be a good showing
