Touring Challenge for Corvette
Races
D. J. Race Enterprise
This 2002 racing season for the Touring Challenge
for Corvettes has seen a new era as the D. J.
Race Enterprise team arranged a special Hospitality
area at each of the race events.
"Corvette enthusiasts have
totally enjoyed the race weekend coupled with
the TCC race events", say Danny Kellermeyer.
"We've tried to give our Fan Involvement
Program participants the chance to be a part
of Corvette racing on a first hand basis, and
it has been working well".
The two drivers Robert Pfeffer
and Danny Kellermeyer, as well as all the D.
J. Race team, have taken the time to relax and
discuss all the ins and outs of racing. The
weekend starts with the Corvette Corral, joining
in on the technical seminar, driving the track
parade lap and ending with the TCC race making
these race weekends an event to cherish and
enjoy.
To add to the excitement of the
race weekend there has been the competition
of all the drivers and especially our team drivers
of Pfeffer and Kellermeyer. These two drivers
have exchanged overall championship 1st and
2nd leads almost after ever race. With ten of
the eleven races completed, the Championship
is coming right to the last race to decided
if it will be Pfeffer or Kellermeyer. This overwhelming
competition has been the topic during every
race weekend.
Mid-Ohio Raceway held two race
weekends. Races 5 & 6 were on July 5-6,
and races 7 & 8 on Aug. 3-4. Races 9 &
10 then went on to Watkins Glen International
on Sept. 14-15. This was the first rain race
of the season. Robert Pfeffer took the Championship
lead with a fantastic drive finishing 1st in
both races.
We are pleased that some Corvette
owners have taken in more than just one of the
races. Robert Woolley from the Street Corvette
Club of Columbus, Ohio writes, "Just wanted
to say thanks again for all that you did /do
for your fans at Watkins Glen, along with the
other tracks. I really had a great time, and
am still amazed at your patience and commitment
during the whole weekend. I enjoyed the seminar
on Saturday.. well actually I enjoyed the whole
weekend." Robert joined us at Mid-Ohio
and then came to Watkins Glen for the race weekend
again. He and other members of his club are
discussing the possibility of being the hosting
club for the next season.
"Interest like this has
stemmed from the overall reception of these
weekends activities", say Danny. "Everyone
has been asking questions about their Corvettes
and performance changes. I would anticipate
that next year will snowball in responses and
we may be overwhelmed".
The hospitality events will extend
into one of National Corvette Council Autocross
events. The team will be holding a seminar and
help the Land of Lincoln Corvette Club as they
support one of the largest and best events at
the Lake Geneva Raceway. The Seminar will be
tailored specially for this fun event Oct. 12-13. |
