Awards at Corvette Viper F-Body Shootout

Ernie Francis awards trophies to winners at Breathless Performance Products Vette Viper F-Body Shootout. April 2004. (6:30)





Editors Note: We've broken up the Bradenton Event into several parts to make it easier to download and view. Parts 1, 1A, and 1B all look at the Bracket Racing competition. The trophy awards will either be in Part 1B or separate, a Part 1C, depending on time constraints. Part 2 is an overview of the day with interviews, parts 3, and 4 look at the test and tune phase of the days events. Lot’s of good race footage during the morning hours. There’s also some great footage of a challenge race between a Hummer H2 and a new SSR that you won't want to miss. Of course both of these sleepers were not exactly stock.

It's going to take us a few days to get it all up so keep checking in. We're thinking of putting together a DVD of the Day, if there's an interest. The quality would be much better than what can be streamed online. If you're interested leave us a note on the Auto Tuner's forum.
