We won!!!:D A big thanks for your participation this year.
This was a real close win. The Corvette Club of Richmond had 24 Corvettes with a total of 9,576 horsepower. We had 19 Vipers with a total of 9,956 horsepower. We won by only 380 horsepower. We won by just a little over one C-5...
The entry fee will be $20 this year. We're not pushing the Food Bank this year like we did last year. We had so much food last year it was hard to transport it all to the Food Bank. So it's optional this year.
We will have one judged Viper trophy this year plus the "king of the hill" trophy for the most horsepower. We will also have many other awards such as top 25 by year group for all cars at the event.
We are having a “Horsepower Challenge” on September 18, 2009 in Richmond, VA. The event will be part of the “Christmas in September” event at the Children’s Hospital, 2904 Brook Road, Richmond, VA. This is an annual charity event for the Children’s Miracle Network. The event typically yields...

Saturday: Occasional showers possible. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the mid 50s.
This is a rain or shine event so feel free to bring your daily driver in the event of rain.
The total raised for the Children’s Miracle Network at the event was $9,290.33. This was down from the usual $20,000+ raised in the past however considering the economy it was a good day. In addition there were hundreds of cans of food donated to the food bank.
Thanks to all who participated...
We lost the Horsepower Challenge to the Corvette Club of Richmond. They had 14,001 HP to our 8,275 HP. We had 15 Vipers to their 44 Corvettes and we couldn’t overcome the sheer number of Corvettes even with our supercharged Vipers. There is always next year!

We will be judging the Corvettes at the event so we will need to draft some of our members to be judges. The Corvettes will be judged by generation with generation three split into two groups. We have sheets worked up to guide you on judging. I expect about 50 Corvettes. We're going to need lots...

What do you mean “puny 400 HP?” Your 400 HP is equal to about two of the 70’s era Corvettes and is more than the C5 Corvettes and about equal to the C6 Corvettes. The Corvette Club of Richmond will have about 50 Corvettes at the event so we need all the Vipers we can get.
I hope Terry brings...
I use a suction pump to bleed mine which makes it a one man operation. I bought a bleeder kit from Harbor Freight (like this one http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92474). I suck out all of the old brake fluid from the reservoir and put fresh DOT4 in the reservoir...
