I won the Corvette Challenge Pro 8 - two in a row

I raced in the Corvette Challenge Pro 8 today and I won the event. I also picked up an award for #1 qualifier (9.01 @ 147) AND the best reaction time on the pro tree (.06).

My twin turbo Neverlift/Cartek monster Z06 ran incredibly well and was very consistent. I swear, this could be a brackets car. All runs were 9.0X or 9.1X with an exception of one pass where my opponent double-bulbed me (he was staged before I even got a chance to pre-stage) and I didn't get a chance to build enough boost. Launching with no boost I still ran a 9.40. Not too bad.

Still no 8s but I'm having a blast!!!

Did it again Paul. Good job. Sounds like the double bulb guy knew what he was doing. Glad that doesn't happen all the time.

Maybe there wouldn't be that "relentless pursuit of 8's" with another driver at the wheel. j/k

Nice job Paul...the car is ready to turn the corner with you behind the wheel.

Major congrats to you Paul! You're "kickin' Azz and takin' names", just like a Jersey guy should! Way to go!

Thanks, guys! I absolutely LOVE racing in this event. There's nothing like good 'ole heads-up racing on a pro tree. No dial-in, no breakouts, just balls to the wall racing. You can see the videos from the Corvette Challenge at http://www.challengevideos.com . I'm racing in a Vette

Still no 8's though, huh?? Stop blowing smoke up your own ass & give me an 8.999 at least already....sheesh.
Maybe a run w/ no socks & window decals????

JK, of course Paul.....By the way, I've just captured a Cougar just off my property at my new house in Manalapan....I'll save her for you for when you get an 8.x time slip.
Boy when that happens you'll probably end up w/ some blisters on your right hand (and your member), huh?
