I've been stoked since I got home Sunday. I was not able to participate in Saturday's event due to some "teething pains" with the Camaro. I almost threw in the towel on Friday and didn't come. Boy am I glad I did!

I spent most of Saturday working out an overheating bug and replacing a broken throttle cable from Friday night. I was thrilled to see the Baer trailer at the event. Talking to Dutch with Baer and with Mark Stielow, got me on the road to solving a brake issue that I have had for too long. None of this would have happened if I had stayed home.

I decided I had enough brake to run the autocross on Sunday. Although my tune was a little rich, I got out and ran some mid 32's. Not bad for 1st weekend out with a new motor, basically no tune and marginal brake pressure.

I can't wait til next year's event so I can mix it up with you guys. I think I might have a little something for y'all. :cool:

I got a fair number of compliments on the car too, which I really needed to get my morale back up.

Ditto, I had a blast and any award or prize was just icing on an already Very Sweet weekend.

Just so everyone knows, I'm going to try and work out personally delivering david's trophy during the Monterey Classic weekend. As far as gift certificates I have no idea what was what. I will pm you with what I have and let you pick what you need.


Jeff,

Let me know if your planning on attending any events in our area, I would love to tag along. Oh I will talk with my cousin on the 4th, he does track events on Mondays and has some visitor passes. I'll get details, but it sounds like they hit several different tracks.

Did both RS Chevelles run? I only see one listed. Was it the 70 or the 66?

Bow Tie 67 06-25-2009 07:27 AM

Only the 70 ran the 66 is for sale by its owner.

Sorry to have made things confusing. Lane and the sponsors were just trying to give out as many awards as possible. The awards were:

The main awards
-Time Trial Class: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (results listed above)
-Touring Class: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (results listed above)

Then there were awards for:
-Fastest Auto-X run of the day: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (need to sift thru results)
-Fastest Road Course Lap of the day: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (need to sift thru results)
-Hard Luck Award: Jeff Van Buren
-Furthest Driven: Mike Holleman
-People's Choice Car: Jackass

All results exclude aftermarket manufacturers and event promotors at the request of Lane Automotive.

Hey Guys,
Sorry if we got a couple of the trophies switched up. The certificates shouldn't be an issue, they were all pretty much for the same amounts, just different products. Sounds like you guys are getting things sorted out to exchange the hardware.
As Steevo said, we just tried to spread the awards and certificates around to as many participants as possible. Our goal was to make sure that everyone left with something even if it was a couple shirts and hats.
Things get a bit crazy there at the end of the day on Sunday and Steve was calculating his rear off trying to get all the numbers together. We'll talk with our SCCA guys and see if they can hook us up with a program that we can feed the numbers into for quicker results next year. Like someone said earlier, it's not so much about the awards as it is about the people. It was a great weekend full of fast cars and wonderful friends.
Jeff V., I have your Hard Luck award and certificates here that I will mail out to you ASAP. Sorry you had so much trouble over the weekend but we're glad you brought the car regardless. It's beautiful and you'll get it sorted out soon I'm sure.
Thanks again everyone for attending.

thank you Scott! It was great touring your facility on Power Tour and meeting you at SEMA where the planning for this happened. All my friends who attended this event were very impressed by you guys.
