CORVETTE CHALLENGE! ITS OFFICIAL!

[XfireZ51]

FBI'rs start your engines!

Hello All,

It is official! The 3rd Annual All Corvettes Drag Day will be Oct 23rd at US41. This is the only date available in Oct. We also have the following Sat, Oct 30 as a raindate. Although I had 25 willing travelers from here and an email from governor of the NCCC of MI to get them to join in, I believe the issues with helmets, convertibles and roll cages would be an issue. Fortunately, US41 is a bit more lax in that dept. I will create a flyer and start promoting amongst the other clubs as well as corvette forums. A flyer will be forwarded to you soon.

As last year, we cannot afford to rent the track at his cost (which he doubled on us since the first time ) so participants will be paying $25 for drivers and $12 per spectator at the gate to him. A supplimental fee to join in our competition will once again be collected at our tent. Most likely $10 or $15.

Because of the situation, this year will not be for a charity. We simply cannot clear enough to make it worth while to select a charity. Most all of the income (after expenses) from the day will go back into better awards for the racers. I will speak with some sponsors and see what happens. If I can get enough response from them, I will select a charity. If not, as I said, it will go into better prizes for us. Let you know on that one.

More details to follow, but just wanted to keep you in the loop.

Start spreading the word!

Thanks and have a great week! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I'll be there, Dom. WILL YOU??? This is the event that was the match to the fuse that got me interested in modding my Z. Heaven knows I've "paid the dues" for this event. I hope to be able to make a good impression!

The first year a couple highlights (for Dom, Pete, and me) was watching Pete's lil 'ol stock-bottom 350 blow away all comers, including some C6 Z06s - Pete turning in 3 runs of 11.43ish and 129.xx mph! Comments overheard in the stands ranged from, "Oh, just a C4" the first time a Z lined up to "Hey! It's one of those ZR-1s again!" Last year the weather above I-80 scared away all but Ken and Jim Mac and his wife, and me. However, the weather was perfect (and y'all missed a good one!)

I've been after Hans for the graphic file for the FBI T-shirts - so we can make some more Ts and maybe some sweatshirts or jackets as well. I gather he hasn't aquired it from his son (the actual artist that did the original T-shirts), but I'll 'ping' Hans again.

HEY HANS!!!!

It would be terrific fun! Maybe Todd will bring his monster 427 project too. And, we need Pete, Al, Kevin, and Bob G's big guns there to shake the dew off the lillies! Need all the "Z"s we can find
