[USA-1]

at Bradenton Motorsports Park of the 2007 RevXtreme Corvette Challenge Series, and the Points-Leader has a single-point lead after 5 races
(10 points awarded per round-won, with 2 bonus points to the eventual Winner, and a single bonus-point to the Runner-Up ):
there is no 'sign-up fee' to join our Series, and newcomers are always welcome to compete with us (I believe we had 3 newbies last-month!!!!! ).
:wavey:

Gates-open at 9:00 AM, with Time-Trials scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM, and Eliminations to begin at noon:
afterwards, anybody interested can meet-up at SONNY'S B-B-Q at the intersection of I-75 & Rt. 64 for a late-lunch, before going-back to the track for Saturday-evening's action (regularly-scheduled SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT Points Series bracket-racing ), or going home to watch 500 laps under the lights at Bristol later that night.

We have Corvette-exclusive pit-spaces next to the fence, alongside Rt. 64, and somebody usually brings a pop-up tent:
if you want-to race and have questions, look me up..... I'm the fat-guy in a Yellow tank-top and a Yellow JEGS-cap during time-shots, but during Eliminations, I wear a Red, White & Black RevXtreme crew-shirt
(I keep telling Tracy Lewis, "ya cain't polish a turd....." )

..... after waiting-out a 2+ hour rain-delay between the Round-of-7 and the Semi-Finals this afternoon, Kevin Roberts emerged victorious over a field of 19 racers, beating Tracy Lewis in the Finals today:
the other Semi-Finalists were veteran Craig Gingerich, and 2nd-timer R.J. Gordon, all in C5s.

I just got-in the door (I left before 6:00 AM ) after driving 74+ miles home through an impending thunder & lightning storm, and will post a full report with pictures tomorrow (Sunday 26 August ), when I get a chance:
the track's computer had difficulty printing-out the Points Standings for me, and BMP will forward them to RevXtreme later this week, to be sent to Redgar for updating the website.

Yesterday at BMP, Kevin Roberts defeated Tracy Lewis in the Final Round of RevXtreme Corvette Challenge Series event, surviving a 2+ hour rain-delay, and a field of 19 entries.

This tube-chassised, C5-bodied cars was seen in the pits, and made a few shake-down runs, but I didn't see/hear his times-

This C5 sounded fairly-stout, but broke the rear-end before making a run:
I heard the RevXtreme gang already had the parts & pieces to get him back on-track in their shop

we had several newcomers to our Series this day, including a few C5 ZO6s:
spank me if I have the wrong-names with the wrong-cars, I was kinda-busy.....

Deja Vu, all-over-again

Under threatening skies, the Quarter-Finals were run, with Kevin Roberts (far-lane ) beating Larry Broadly's C6

We waited-out the storm in the Lewis' motor-home, which they graciously offered to all Corvette-racers who chose to stay in hopes of seeing the rest of the race concluded, then Lewis (far-lane ) and Gingerich squared-off
