David Shen Wins Carolina Auto Masters (CAM) 10.0 Index

05/10/08 - Richmond, VA - The Carolina Auto Masters 10.0 Index class was one to be contested by 12 Corvettes this year. Doing battle as part of the 2008 Zip Products National Corvette Challenge, this class put some of the quickest Corvettes in the East against each other in a heads-up, pro .500 tree, races with performance of the Corvettes limited to 10.0 seconds. Cars that went under that elapsed time would be moved to the bottom of the ladder during qualifying and would be eliminated if doing it in competition. The variety of the class was great, ranging from the naturally aspirated 1965 Corvette of our event winner to supercharged stock block combinations like that of our runner-up. We had all combinations covered with all motor, nitrous and turbo entries. In the end, it was all motor versus supercharger. The race was held at Richmond Dragway in Richmond Virginia and was open to any Corvette that was not all tube chassis.

Drivers would get three qualifying passes to place themselves on the ladder that would pair the cars on a sportsman ladder for eliminations. After the smoke had cleared and the 12 Corvettes had made their initial passes, three drivers found themselves at the bottom of the ladder for having gone too fast. Phil Corbin drove his 1990 Corvette the quickest of the round and was rewarded with the number 12 spot on the ladder. His 9.82 @ 139.45 was too quick for the 10.0 index though it was impressive nonetheless for the naturally aspirated combination. David Outten, in the green 1990 Corvette went under in his combination as well and was in the 11th spot after having gone under by .0149. Mark Scharago, New Egypt, NJ, just barely missed a perfect 10.0 going 9.99 @ 143.04 MPH in the supercharged entry built by East Coast Supercharging. He was followed on the ladder in the 10th spot by local racer Steve Haynes who also was entered in the Outlaw class today. Haynes drove his C3 Corvette to a troubled 11.015 as he slowed to 95.79. Just above him was the supercharged entry of Jay McCardle, Stewartstown, PA in 1997 Nassau Blue Coupe. McCardle was in at 10.519 @ 136.45 MPH. Then next entry on the ladder was the twin turbo 2000 Corvette owned by Randy Robertson, Richmond, VA. The car is a stock bottom end 346 cid Corvette that started life with a 6-speed manual transmission and now sports a Turbo 400. Robertson was in the seventh spot with a 10.341 @ 140.54 MPH. In the fifth position was Chris Young, Carmel, NY with a 434 cid SBC in the 1991 Quasar Blue Corvette. Young, who has been in the 9's and had just had a roll cage completed at Carroll's Rod and Racecraft (formerly Neverlift), Spotswood, NJ was in at 10.266 @ 134.85 MPH. In the fourth spot was our longest traveler, Olivier Mader who came out of Florida. Mader drives a 1968 Convertible with a RevXtreme 434 cid motor with a solid roller and a power glide transmission. The combination is also packing nitrous though his attempts at qualifying would be all motor. Mader took the fifth position in the ladder with a 10.2246 @ 133.18. In the fourth spot was Danny Nicely, Knoxville, TN, driving a 2000 Torch Red Corvette Coupe. Danny's 427 cid C5R motor and automatic transmission is one of the very few naturally aspirated C5 Corvettes to get in the 9's having gone 9.994 @ 136.90. Today's setup was for the 10's and Danny was sitting in the fourth spot at 10.180 @ 134.37. Local racer, Roger Claytor was in the third position with a 10.103 @ 135.75. Claytor drives a 1980 Corvette with a small block chevy, tubbed, Power Glide and has gone a best ET of 9.72 @ 143 MPH. Alan Eckert, Washington Crossing, PA drives a Commemorative Edition 2003 Z06 Corvette with a Novi Supercharger built by ECS, Cream Ridge, NJ (that is three ECS cars in the this class, Scharago and McCardle) was in the 2nd spot with a 10.092 @ 138.08. In the number 1 spot at the moment was David Shen, Franklin Lakes, NJ. David drives a 1965 Red Corvette with a 383 cid naturally aspirated motor. He held the top spot with a 10.042 @ 133.57.

The drivers were not done mixing it up in the ladder when they came out for the second round of qualifying. Jay McCardle made a move toward the top when he moved himself up the three spot with a 10.076 bumping the field down. We had a new number one qualifier with Chris Young bolting to the top with a 10.018 pass. Other drivers improving on their times were Danny Nicely improving to 10.119 form his 10.18. Olivier Mader squeezed the nitrous and went too quick and did not improve while the three drivers that had gone under did not improve either. Scharago did not make the call, Outten and Corbin each went under again.

For the third and final qualifier of the day for the class, we had yet another number 1 qualifier. This time it was Olivier Mader finding just the right combination to glide his '68 across the finish line with a perfect 10.00 with a 6 to take the number 1 qualifying spot for the 2008 race. Davie Outten and Phil Corbin made it two more cars in the 10.0s with Outten moving up to the fifth position with a 10.089 and Corbin to the seventh position with a 10.094. Randy Robertson improved his turbo car to a 10.108 to move to the ninth spot. That makes 9 of the 12 entries going 10.10 or better for a very tight field. The final qualifying class average for the 12 Corvettes was an astounding 10.086!

Round 1

The first pair out was our number 1 qualifier Olivier Mader against Phil Corbin (7). The drivers staged and we watched the tree light bright yellow then red went on for Mader. He was so early he had to have gone before the yellow. The 1968 Corvette was out with a -.135 reaction time and Corbin was a winner. Corbin left with a .053 reaction time and ran it out to complete his 1/4 mile victory lap at 10.019 @ 135.05 MPH. Next out were McCardle (4) and Nicely (10). Nicely was out of the gate first with a .106 to .153 on the .500 pro tree. McCardle began to make up ground immediately. McCardle pulled beside him by mid-track and they raced side-by-side to the finish. It was McCardle at the finish with win by a .006 margin of victory. McCardle ran 10.137 @ 133.85 to Nicely's 10.190 @ 134.89. Steve Haynes was up next against Outten. This was a tough one for Outten. When the light flashed, Outten lit the ugly red by -.001! Oh so close. Haynes was off clean with a .024 RT and lifted when he saw the red light and coasted to the win at 11.783. Next on the track was Randy Robertson vs. David Shen. Shen was out of the gate slow with a 169 RT while Robertson nailed it with a .013. Shen made up the differential and had taken the lead by the 60 foot mark with a stellar 1.41 to 1.60. However the twin turbos went to work and pulled Robertson back ahead of Shen and form the 330 mark it was all Robertson....until he crossed the finish to find he had broken out. He took the stripe by 2 tenths but went too quick with a 9.964 @ 133.29. Shen got the win with dead-on 10.003 @ 133.89 in this great race. The final pair was Scharago vs. Eckert. Both team members of the ECS Racing team. Scharago got off the line first with a .116 to Eckert's .249 and was on the way to win when something went snap! He had to pull it over to the side Eckert ran through the stripe with the win at 10.419

Round 2

There were six left for this round and two of the three pair would be decided at the starting line. Young would be paired with Haynes in the first pair. In this one, both drivers went red, however it was Young red first with a -.010 and Haynes was -.004. This one was decided on the line by a mere .006. Both drivers ran it out and gave us a nice trip down the track. Young went 10.037 @ 136.45 but Haynes was quicker too with a 10.028 @ 131.43. Next up was McCardle and Corbin. The tree advantage went to Corbin with a .022 light to McCardle’s .112. Corbin carried the lead mid track but then lost traction some what and could not maintain it. McCardle pulled up beside then past him and took the win with a 10.197 to Corbin's 10.644. The final pair would be Eckert and Shen. Eckert's car moved first but lit the red -.058 giving Shen the instant win. Why did Eckert go red? He races Shen all the time at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ so he know Dave would be a tough match. How tough ? How about a .001 reaction time and 10.017 at the top end? A package under .002 is tough to beat any day.

Round 3

The luck of the ladder would give McCardle the single into the final. Haynes and Shen, who faced each other in the final last year, would square off for a second consecutive finals appearance. Standing at the starting line, I saw Haynes leave on Dave big time! Following them up the track told a different story. Haynes had gone big time red, -.492 (not a typo) and Shen was off to the final. McCardle took the tree and made a soft pass to make his win official in the semi-final.

Round 4 - The Final

We were down to the last two. These two are regular participants in the Cartek Racing Pro 10.0 at Englishtown, NJ. In fact, Shen is the defending champion having won 4 events in a row out of five last year to claim that Championship. The cars lined up with Shen in the right and McCardle left. McCardle would take a slight starting line advantage, .020 to .039. Shen's 1.41 60 foot time made up for that and gave him a .11 advantage over McCardle. However, McCardle would gain fast on him with his supercharged entry over Shen's all motor car. Gaining on him the rest of the way he just ran out of race track. Shen crossed the line by 2 thousandths of a second taking the win with a 10.041 @ 132.78 to McCardle's 10.062 @ a hard charging 135.83. This brought to a finish a very close completive class with on a .002 margin of victory. The Carolina Auto Masters 10.0 Index class was one of the most exciting of the day with several races won by thousandths of a second. Congratulations to David Shen for taking the win with the help of his father and crew chief David Shen. Jay McCardle put together a great day as well and came up short by so little and deserves congratulations as well.

What Next?

Our winner left the track with a winner trophy and a nice payout of $750. Our runner-up earned a trophy and a $250 payout. Each driver will receive a jacket commemorating their finish in the annual event. For more information and to see the 2009 date and location when available visit www.national.corvettechallenge.info
