I'll reserve my vote for the event. Unless you've personally looked all these cars over and seen them practice it's like playing pin the tale on the donkey. I just hope it's a Camaro personally. Let's not all forget the mechanical reliability of many of these new builds coming from Sema. How many puked all over the track last year. Steve has his car torn down right now. How many shake down miles will he have on his new setup. We know Jackass isn't set up for autocross and either are the drivers. The best All around car will win. I can't wait to see it. :thumbsup:

Steve, I think your car is awsome. In fact it is one of my 4 top camaro's . (BIG RED,Dalejr's 72,& Bad penny. Kyle's70) I think Mary & Kyle will be the ones to beat at the auto cross.Dan told me the DSE camaro will be on R1's. I have your car w/ second fastest rd. course time behind Mark in jackass.I have a feeling the RS corvette will do very well.But I have been wrong before. I think RS corvette and Jackass will judge very well this year also. Steve Good Luck ,kick ass & prove me wrong.And if you win I will buy you your choice of T shirts.Scott.

Since we're covering it we hope it's a Camaro too.. lol

Pozzi just did some cutting and some re-engineering.. nothing HUGE.. decided to put off the blower until after SEMA since we seemed to have enough power to 120 in the straight at Buttonwillow. Oh, and we have new brakes and shocks.. Hey, it's less than last year!

Remember ---

Anything you say and do WILL be used against you!

LOL

So all you WRITING down your predictions.... remember that we all get to tear you a new one with your own words... AFTER the event. Okay - so that will be a good thread!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh yeah.....


:rofl: :rofl:

Hey, a free t-shirt? Hell, I'm all in now! lol -- It's hard to beat the DSE cars combined with thier drivers.. then again, one cone mishap and any one of us could be on the outs.

Thanks for the compliments on the car.. we just want to go and put up a good fight, not crash/break, and have a good time.. not necessarily in that order.

Just thought it would be fun to throw my picks out there.Didn't think it would afined anybody.Deep down inside I would love to win the thing.I know my son Kevin can wheel my car at the autocross.I have seen him have the fastest time at K.C. until the last few runs by Kyle. So I think my car is up to the task W/ Kevin at the wheel.I have slowed down a little on the road course a since I went backwards at 110mph at Topeka Ks.I found out I was not Cole Trickel after all.Good luck to all.Scott

I don't think anyone is offended.. :)

It's just one of those things that's impossible to predict.. The event is such a fluid enviroment that anything can happen.

Hell, it could rain and the guy on regular old street tires could win..

I would worry about the Cobra more than Jackass.......

Yea, the REAL Cobra... yikes! --

Or the "weighs nothing" Factory-5 cars... Hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be much fun.

Us heavy old Camaros are at a distinct disadvantage to some of the rides showing up.

I do know that the Jackass has the best brakes..
