More congratulations to first round winners Mike Glenn, (who defected from a C5 to a C4 in this race), and Brian Cunningham, who brought out his Polo Green C4 from Massachusetts to race with us.
We all enjoyed John Fidder's and Dave Grant's supercharged C5s out there and especially Glenn Kovanda's 427 C3 convertible from Southwest Corvettes.
It was good to see Jim Holland representing Antelope Valley Corvettes.
Thanks again to Bernie Longjohn for our special pit area and to his crew for a well organized great race day at our home track!
