Kerry Jamison Wins Jamison's Carolina Corvette Challenge at Darlington Dragway

03/17/07 - Darlington, SC -
The Jamison's Carolina Corvette Challenge kicked off the 2007 season in cool fashion. We had 13 racers ranging from our winner's 383 C4 to a blistering fast 427 C5. Several other Corvettes came out to catch and lend words of warmth to the racers, as the temperatures where a blustery 45 degrees, with a stiff side wind making it much colder. The harsh side wind limited the racing to the 1/8th mile, but the Corvettes soon warmed it up.
The race was run alternately to the Darlington bracket racing, so we had enough time between rounds to tweak cars, and grab some coffee. Veteran racer, Joe Gabella, cruised all the way out to the quarter finals with best reaction times, every round! Danny Nicely roared out to the quarters as well with his fresh 427 cid motor in his C5, and Joe and Danny both where yanking the wheels on the launch and running high 1.39s short times. The finals pitted 2006 series champion Danny Moore and Kerry Jamison. Danny broke out and Kerry got the win light, and took his first event.
Several cars could not make it out due to some recent carnage, some of it even happened the day of the race! In all, the season started strong and built some great momentum for the new year, and a new track. We equaled our best number of racers first time out, and will continue to attract more cars.
