The rain went away and we had a race!!!! Thanks to all the Corvette owners and race fans that came out to Race 6 of the Great Lakes Corvette Challenge at Byron Dragway on 9/14. The sky cleared up and made it worth the trip in the rain.
In the early rounds Brett L of Indianapolis, IN cut a .588 light and hit a 14.39 against a 14.38 dial eliminating Ron H’s 12.39 second ZR-1 from Morton, IL.
Mike E’s blue street racing monster from Lansing took a loss to a Race prepped 81 T-top driven by Ed M. from Addison. A 9.40 run against a 9.40 dial with a 5.26 light is pretty tough to beat!!!!! Nice Job Ed!
Loudmouth (Mike P. from Rockford) took a few miles off his clutch in a loss to a Corvette Challenge first timer "Wisconsin Vette" - Joe S. (of Reedsburg, WI). In the other race, Bill P. of lisle (our race 5 champ) red-lighted out to Mike T. of Byron (who was driving the red 92 LT1 vert).
In the Semi’s, Brett’s L98 eliminate Mike T’s LT1 and Ed’s 81 survived a “double breakout” against Joe’s 03 Z06.
In the Final, everyone predicted the WHITE CORVETTE would win. We were all right
. Brett with his “white” L98 caught Ed sleeping at the tree (.824 light, 9.43 on a 9.40 dial in the “white” 81 T-Top) for the win! Congrats Brett!
Official results: Brett L of Indianapolis, IN wins (.577 light and a 14.469 run on a 14.38 dial).
Ed M. wins the best reaction time competition (a .526 in round 1) AND bragging rights for lowest ET with 9.39 in round 2. GREAT RACING GUYS!
T H E F I N A L S for the 03 Great Lakes Challenge are on Sunday, October 19th back at Byron. BE THERE!
The championship is TOTALLY up for grabs. The points will all be updated on the site in the next week or so!!!!!!!! See www.corvettechallenge.org for further details.
We welcome all Corvette owners to come out and join the fun!!!!!
