NCCC RACING - IOWA - 05/28-30/05 - PAGE 1 OF 3

Hosted by a four club sponsored NCCC deal: Cedar Rapids Corvette Club; Corvette Club of Iowa; Midwestern Corvette Society Inc; and the River City Corvette Ass'n

Saturday, May 28 thru 30, 2005

While visiting my son in Kansas City I continued up the road a little and attended the 5th Annual All Iowa Corvette Weekend in Chariton, IA 28-30 May 05.  It was 732 miles one way and I drove our 2003 50th Anniversary Red convertible (recent purchase) - my, what a pleasure driving compared to that OLD 1962 that I used to have!!!!  Debbi and I have named her "ANN" to distinguish the 'anniversary red' from our 'medium spiral gray metallic' - since they are both 03 convertibles!  Debbi missed the activities as she was still in VA & NC w/ family.

1.  Peoples Choice: 35 cars, 12 in MY class (1997-2004) - but I placed 1st!
2.  Funkhana; participated - had fun!
3.  Poker rallye; participated - bad poker hand!
4.  Rallye; participated - a neat drive in the country - a tad long.
5 - 8.  Four low speed autocrosses:  Novice entry - had a great time learning the course and the car at the same time.  The course was at the airport and was laid out pretty well.  A total of 65 drivers raced - from a 1967 to two 2005s.  Only scheduled two autocrosses per day - they start late and are not in a big hurry up there!  Weather was great on Sat for events 1 thru 4; rained on Sun so the first two autocrosses were slower.  Mon was clear and dry - fast times.
