Blue Meanie gets "Quickest Vette" at West Coast Corvette Challenge today...

[McRat]

Just got back from LACR. Wind was blowing 30-50mph, and covering the track with sand. Car was sideways more than it went straight, but still ran 12.184@112.55 and claimed the "Quickest Vette" Trophy out of 20 Corvettes that raced. LACR is 2710' altitude, so it would have been about an 11.7-11.8 @ 116.5'ish at sea level.

It was also the NMMA(?) Motorcycle points race. Some bikes were in the 7's with the 50mph crosswind. Dudes had some BIG Huevos.

I only scored 20 points in Brackets, so I got bumped to 3rd or 4th in the 2003 points race.

Sunburned, ears still ringing, 2 new trophies...

Great run under those terrible conditions! Congratulations!

[King Ray]

Good job, Pat! Way to hang in there in tough conditions!

[McRat]

Thanks guys!

It was the National Modified Motorcycle Association? They had about 50 bikes in different classes. Slowest dial-in I saw was 18.45 for a 400cc Honda. Many "drag-only" bikes, but no nitro-burners.

I was there. Your car ran awesome, as always.
BTW Pat, you shift so quick that your car sounds like it has an automatic trans. I'm impressed!!
