The guys are flying back in today. I'll see if I can get a list of times from them.

Great Vid. I'm jealous, it's freezing cold in Indiana still! Damn Midwest!

Looks like a fun event. Kind of a short track though. I was surprised to see Liz in the #13 Camaro with a faster time than Rupp. :lol:

Dude you got beat by a girl! :rofl:

Liz's fastest time was 18.41 ... my fastest time was 18.31...

Take that sucka! Oh, and she was on sticky tires.. So, I win :woot:

But, she is most likely a better driver, she does it more while I'm sitting on my ass writing stories..

Low 17s were considered VERY good times for the musclecars.. Air Ride cars and the DSE Camaro were in that area. The CPP Nova (yellow one) and Penny were in the mid 17s.. The Air Ride guys were very helpful with ways I can tune my suspension.

Oh, the BFG tires I put on performed very well.. I was surprised how grippy they were.

Random shot of me wheeling the car:

It's owned by CPP.

There's a story on it in the new Nova Classics magazine (on newsstands).. Has a TCI front sub and rear system. Big Wilwood brakes, etc. Nice car and it handles well, they have been busy tuning the heck out of the suspension and are really getting it dialed in.

Very cool Steve.:thumbsup: Nice to see you wailing on it.

Why the tire change?

No R-compound tires allowed for the Editors Challenge, so BFG sent me over a sweet set of KDWs.. nice tires!

Wow that is rediculiousley small. I guess I'm sopiled up here we run a 80 - 100 second auto-x and you reach 60 - 70 mph.

Steve, did you have any push? Looked like it in a couple shots. I am amazed at how flat the Air Ride cars were going through the course. Thanks for posting.

Mike
