Danny Moore Wins Corvette Challenge Race 5
By Art Brown
10/27/07 - Darlington, SC -
Contrary to the weather predictions of earlier in the week, the weather at Darlington Dragway was near perfect for the 5th Carolina Corvette Challenge of 2007.
1st round action found Art Brown with his black C5 convertible paired off with Larue and his silver C5 convertible. Larue was a little anxious and red-lighted giving Art an easy win. Kerry Jamison and Danny Moore were also paired off in the 1st round. Kerry's better reaction time of .083 contributed significantly to his win. Julius Mitchell had the bye. Larue and Danny both bought back in.
2nd round action found Kerry with the bye automatically giving him his fourth point for the day and a 1 point lead over Danny Moore. Danny, now ineligible for any additional points, was paired off with Larue. This time Danny's better reaction time aided him to victory and eliminated Larue for the night. Art Brown, sleeping at the start with a .287 reaction time and turning his best time of the day at 11.352 on an 11.35 dial in, lost to Julius Mitchell in his red convertible. Art bought back in.
3rd round action found Art and Kerry paired off and Danny and Julius facing each other. Art and Kerry both cut respectable lights, .053 and .059 respectively. Kerry made his best run of the night with an 11.858@112.27. Unfortunately for Kerry, his dial-in was 11.90 giving Art the win. In the next race with Danny and Julius, Julius had pretty much the same luck. On an 11.94 dial-in Julius ran 11.872 breaking out and giving Danny the win.
In the finals, Art was unable to complete a decent burnout and spun quite a bit through first and second gear giving Danny an easy win.
The bottom line: everyone had a great time.
The sixth and last Corvette Challenge will be December 1st. Come on out.
