Florida Corvette Challenge...
Had a great time today...didn't race but went to support those who did :D
There should be some great pics and videos posted later. Had somewhere around 20 Vettes race today. Hope some more of you can make it to the next one. Its a good time even if you don't race.

Re: Florida Corvette Challenge... (mackeyred96)
thanks for all the help John!
and we can't wait for the next month...and going further than the 1/4 finals ;) :D
I'll bring my tent next month for added shade and I suggest everyone smearing on the sunscreen after exiting the shower, best way to protect against the rays ;).....I may have looked red yesterday but it's all brown today :D :cheers:

Re: Florida Corvette Challenge... (TLewis4095)
thanks for all the hard work Tracy and to Karen as well :D :cheers:
I'd like to make a list of the all the racers too, kinda historic for the 1st series :D
Bob brought several guys that I don't know, but next time, if they setup at the same place, I'd like us all to be there as well, one big group if possible :D

Re: Florida Corvette Challenge... (Mean Green 2000)
Mark... we had 17 people with us! :D We set up there because it gives us enough room for the trailer, the 6 cars we had and all those people. Kinda keeps us out of everyones way. And yes everyone is welcome to come and set-up as one big group. Keith and the all of us from the CORVETTE CONNECTION would love to have ya! :D

Re: Florida Corvette Challenge... (Mean Green 2000)
Thanks for the pics and the sponsor info. It was good to finally meet you and all the others. I will make shure to purchase some drag radials so I won't be "sliding in the grease" at the next event.
