First timers to the C5 Bash were Jimmy Pham and Sally, who wanted to know the system of judging. They are from Clarksville, Tennessee.

  We got the idea. There wasn’t enough time. Plus, this shootout turned out to be not so competitive. Lingenfelter elected not to enter, deciding to run as exhibition only. No matter, his twin turbo 427 had the best ET. One might deem him the winner, except in the spirit of defining a sports car, the National Corvette Museum combined a low speed autocross with the drag race to determine Top Gun.
  The idea sounds good at first. Corvettes are sports cars. We were more interested in ultimates, at least where drag racing and Corvettes are concerned. What shaped up as a super shootout fizzled. Who wants to autocross a Corvette set up to run the low nines
