LGCA/Corvette Racing News
Club Over The Road and
Drag Racing Contributed by M. Clark and F. Thompson
Our racing season has ended for 2011,
join us in the spring of 2012.
September
9 - LGCA Drag Racing
The LGCA Team
results from Friday September 9th can be summed
up in two words---we sucked!!!! There were 13
racers and only four made the second round. We
wouldn't have done that well if one opponent had
not red lighted and two others broke out. Only
one of us made the third round that was it. Even
with our poor showing we only slipped one place
to 11th in team standings.
The last race of
the year is on Friday September 23rd. Hopefully
we will have better news and a full report
summarizing the years efforts. this will be your
last chance to take part or just observe.
