November 2004 - Bradenton, FL - Last race of the season for the Eckler's Florida Corvette Challenge and the day started off in the high 60's (great temp for racing). But, problems with the track photocells delayed the start of our first round of eliminations for a couple of hours.
Semi-Final round was Larry Beutlich with his dial-in at 13.15 running against Dick Swenson in his C3 coupe with a dial-in of 13.21. Larry took the tree with a .074 r/t and ran a 13.20 to take the win and move into the Finals. Next was Vern Humphrey dialed in at 13.01 versus Bruce Williams with his dial-in at 13.44 Vern hit the tree with a .064 r/t and pushed on to win.
With the Finals set Larry dialed in a 13.15 and Vern a 13.01. Vern asleep at the light with had a r/t of .316 versus Larry's .057 and Larry never looked back and for the 4th time this year took the win. In addition, Larry Beutlich took 1st for the 2004 Eckler's Florida Corvette Challenge Season.
Congratulations Larry!!!!
