This was one of the best events! Big Red...I could listen to that car all day long. Penny at WOT sounded NICE! The green roadster shop car can really move! This event was sooooooooo cool!

I will post my pictures later on this evening. My friend may have some crappy video...I will find out.

Congrats go out to team Lateral-G! Mary made the autocross look like a joke! Damn she can drive.

Who was driving the gt3 in the autocross? He was one hell of a driver.

Thanks to the Optima for the event

Again, I had a blast!!!!! :thumbsup:

Congratulations! Looks like you all had a great time. As a Camaro Performers subscriber I look for ward to seeing more. Its great to see you get your cars out and thrash on them, to show people that these arent just show cars, these cars can be driven and driven HARD! JESUS CHRIST Steve 151 mph? Thats freakin crazy! And to top it all off, its a 40 year old street car that was never intended to go that fast! As a second -gen owner Id like to se a feature on the DSE blue second gen as well as the beautiful black second. That car was at SEMA, and I thought it was just a show car, WOW was I wrong! Who owns this car? SWEET ride and bythe looks of things , he aint afraid to beat on it either. Looked like Mary was having a blast on the cones Judging by the smile on her face, looking forward to seeing more pics and features on this event and the cars! Great job!:bow: :thumbsup: :cheers:

I forgot about FueL...The work on fuel was great! One of the nicest black cars I have ever seen.

The airride camaro was sick. Bret beat the crap out of that car...he also broke the trans. The stance on that car is unreal. I loved it!

How did I forget about James car? I took more pictures of this car...beautiful is one word that comes to mind. James did one hell of a job on his car.

Congrats on the win Steve. :cool:

Seems like a pretty high attrition rate too, that's too bad.

Steve congrats on your weekend, I myself am just wondering what it would take for me to get involved with these type of events, sounds like a blast and maybe I have a car thats half way there.

Man that looked fun!!!!! I need to build me one of them bad boyz!!!

Steve1968LS2 11-10-2008 01:49 PM

Fun facts I learned today...

David's best time was a 1:52.66

When the four timed laps were added to the three timed autocross laps we beat the 911 GT3 by 14 seconds!

Nobody timed the ZR1 but it went off track twice.

We hit 114 in one straight, but we were hitting over 90 in the sweeps.

I think the max g in a left hand turn was 1.2g and in a right hand turn it was 1g (damn corner weights).

The car has a LOT more in her. Next year the plan is to knock at least a couple of seconds off the time.

Will post data and numbers when I get them.

lol.. not 152mph.. 1:52.66 seconds was the best time.. :)

Kyle Tucker of DSE had the fastest auto-x time... great car and driver.

There's not much left on my car that's 40-years old.. well, except the driver. ;)

Mary cusses like a sailor when she's driving.. I don't think I can legally post the in car video... :rofl:

Just watched Penny go on the truck for her trip home.

Thanks for all the excitement Steve. Hope we can get a few more to cruise over the hill with us next year!
