Rookie of the year award announced
9/5/02 - Announcing the Spectrum Voice & Date Rookie of the Year Award. The top
points earning rookie will be awarded a trophy and a gift certificate at the 1st Annual
Awards Banquet (details yet announced). In order to be considered for the honor, the
driver must not have participated in more than ONE event in the prior 3 years. Starting
today, the points standings on the left hand side of this page will include an "r" next to
a driver that is eligible for Rookie of the Year. As you can see from the list, being a
rookie does not appear to be a disadvantage in this series as 4 of the Top 10 drivers are
Rookie of the Year eligible. Granted these rookies may not be rookies to the sport of
bracket racing, but they are rookies with the series and even with some with their
Corvettes. Best of luck to all Cartek Corvette Challenge Rookies. Clarifiation on the Rookie rule (01/28/04). Since this was written a few years ago, clarification on Rookie eligibility is needed. The intent of the rule is "not having earned more than one point in the Corvette Challenge, ever (the series was only three years old at inception of this award).

Make plans for the Funny Car Reunion on July 27, 2002
6/2/02 As part of our Cartek Corvette Challenge program on Saturday July 27, 2002,
Berserko Bob has challenged Jungle Pam to a best of three match race. Pam has accepted the
race and they will drive identical Vettes. This event is a pre-race to the Funny Car
Reunion that will take place on the following day. I would strongly suggest that anyone
that has an interest is vintage drag racing, or would just like to see what is was like
back then to race, to come and enjoy this great show.
It will be a WHO'S WHO of old time Funny Car racing, in many of the same machines that
made the drivers famous.
The BIG question is, who will back Jungle Pam up from her burnouts? One of Jungle Pam's
MOST important jobs was to back Jungle Jim up after his famous burnout.
Now you could have that opportunity of backing up Jungle Pam by simply making a tax
deductible donation to the Hematology Research Fund in any amount you choose. Send your
check to Raceway Park, ATTN: Michelle Marchese, Funny Car Reunion, 230 Pension Road,
Englishtown, NJ 07726. The honor of backing up Pam will go to the person who makes the
largest donation by July 26, 2002. Just think.... YOU could be right on the starting line
in one of the most famous rituals in drag racing with one of drag racing's best known
personalities.
Please don't pass up this chance of a lifetime.
