By Edgar Perez
09/15/07 - Darlington, SC -
The Carolina Corvette Challenge at Darlington Dragway was back in action today with five Corvette Racers making the event to air their rides out down the quarter mile.
With five drivers one would get the lucky draw for a bye run. The new driver, Justin Miklas, in the Bronze C6 got the bye. Art Brown raced Danny Moore in the first round. Brown would leave first with an 11.67 dial and Moore would follow with an even 11.0 dial. Moore's RT was better with .118 to .124 giving him a chance to win. Brown took a .0574 margin of victory as he ran 11.780 @ 115.32 and Moore 11.161 @ 128.46. Another new driver, Smith, with a Z06 faced Kerry Jamison and went red and gave Kerry the round. Smith, -.233 on his 12.50 dial. Jamison also went red but it did not matter as his 12.06 dial meant he did it after Smith.
Moore did not buy back into the second round and Smith did so that left us with an even four for the second round. Brown faced Smith with an 11.67 dial to Smith's 12.50. Smith was treed by Brown, .087 to .367 and would appear to be on the way to a loss. Smith went 12.528 and Brown found himself on the losing end of the round due to a breakout 11.630 @ 118.53. Jamison raced Justin Miklas, in the C6 Vette and took a close .0242 margin of victory as he broke out going 13.516 on 13.52 dial.
In round three, Brown bought back in after breaking out. Brown advanced to the final when Smith's Z06 broke out. Both drivers finished the run with 118 MPH so it was close. Jamison got a bye into the final to face Brown.
Jamison and Brown were in the final again. Both drivers cut super lights Brown taking the better of the two with a .065 to .080. Brown was dialed 11.63 to Jamison’s 12.0. Both drivers aired out and both broke out. Brown with an 11.606 broke out by more than Kerry with an 11.981 so Kerry takes the win.
Congratulations to the participants.
