In my case, two people will have pizza/sodas (but just one driver)

Was a pretty good day for some racing. We had close to 30 drivers. Congrats to rnr who won the pole and held on to the lead. Jordan who took 2nd and Jay G for the 3rd spot.

Here are a couple of photos. Within the next week or so, will have a link to the rest of them. Also shot some video of the finals race. Will get some of that footage up as well.

Jordan@LotusSV · 01-26-2009, 01:03 PM

Thank you to the GGLC for orginizing such a fun event. I know everyone from SVAG including myself had a great time! By the time the next event rolls around we should have the pricing for the factory supercharger kit available but no guarantees!

Congrats to RNR on the win!

JayG · 01-26-2009, 04:32 PM

Congrats to rnr for winning at the slowest possible pace. I'm going to start calling you Captain Slow from now on

Thanks Larry, for putting this together. It was great fun (except for the thrashing by Captain slow)

We are starting to get the prizes sorted out. A big thanks to Hooked on Driving and Speedventures (with an assist from Robbie). The series winner will be getting a HoD track day. 2nd and 3rd place a $150 gift certificate, for SV. 4th and 5th - a GGLC AutoX day. We’ll also have a random drawing for a GGLC track day. With maybe even a little more to come.
