Funday Sunday Corvettetogether...
Come on out to Orlando Speedworld Dragway on Sunday January 14th for a some fun, frolic and drag racing...we did this last month and had a ball...we park all the vettes together in the pits, break out our chairs and coolers and hang out at the tent...
We do this during OSW's Funday Sunday event...this time we will be getting there before they open the gates so we can get a much better (closer) pit area...the gates open at 10 AM so plan to be there by 9:30 if possible...if you have other committments then come out as soon as you can, we will be there with a spot for you...look for this banner and all the vette's:
It seems the weather has finally broken and it will be a lot cooler than last time...hopefully the DA will be below +3500 this time...Woot!...
Here is a link with directions to the drag strip...

My better-half is working that day, but I will be there to lend my help and moral-assistance:
we may have an (optional ) 'BEST-PACKAGE' competition amongst our group, throwing a dollar into-the-pot for every run we want to record, which I will run from the Staging Lanes....
A 'package' is what bracket-racers call a combination of their Reaction Time, plus the amount of time they run over (or slower ) than their pre-run determined 'dial-in' :
if you think the car will run a 12.02, you may want to dial-in at 12.00, and cut the best-possible light without red-lighting.
I will stand at the front of the Lanes with an envelope to collect the entry-fees, and a clip-board to write-down car-number and dial-in before the car leaves the lanes:
each driver can show me their time-slip info after that run, where we can verify & record RT and ET, then have each racer 'sign-off' on the information for his run, and at the end of the day, the 'BEST-PACKAGE' wins the pot.
Participation in this 'contest' is not-mandatory, and gives us a way to have a 'friendly-competition' between drivers of cars with vastly-different performance capabilities:
'PACKAGES' are the back-bone of handicap-start/bracket-racing, and I'm sure guys who will use this day as a 'practice-session' for SUPER CHEVY SUNDAY @ Bradenton in February.
