That's awesome, Lance. Glad the steering changes really helped the car.

Regarding Kansas; can't say I blame you for wanting to leave the weather behind. I spent nearly three years in Liberal and that was enough. Too much wind for me. My head would be covered with a skull cap continuously for the whole winter except for sleeping and showering. I did enjoy the low humidity western Kansas has to offer though.

When do you finally make the move?

Good advice, parts and install? Yep.

Set up close out of the box? Yep.

Driver getting it done? No doubt.

Nov 10th is the pull out date...





Thanks Ron... Hope you are sufficiently caffeinated and have your thinking cap on ready for a day full of learnin'

No problem, just trying to pay back for all that has been shared with me. And yes, it is a BLAST to drive!!


Wish you could have made it out to see it run in person...now you'll just have to look us up next time you are in Phoenix... :)

Well shucks...

The other half and I love to travel and she also loves cars. I wonder if I can convince her to go to a race? Hmmm... :)

Some of the Phoenix car friends I've met so far want to meet Barney in person, so I'm devising a plan to drag him out of storage next weekend. It's not exactly easy as I'm very limited in parking spaces both where we are living and at the storage units...but I think I've got it worked out.

Might even try to make it up to the car show at 67th and Bell Sat evening if any Phoenix locals want to meet up there. Can't wait to drive around a bit and see how Barney likes Arizona asphalt... :D

Call Charley and store it at his new place......

Post his number up and I'll give him a shout!! :D

I seriously need a place to put either a open car trailer, Barney or both...for 3 months or so. Right now I have Barney on the trailer in a storage unit and it makes doing anything with the car a bit of a hassle.

I drove Barney out to my first Arizona Region SCCA Autocross last Sunday and had a blast. AZR runs a tight ship, had us hoping from the time we got there til we left about 2:30 pm. Mike Hitt came up and co-drove Barney with me, he did great considering he'd never even rode in the car before Sunday morning. That is a testament to a Ron Sutton setup, balanced and friendly enough that anyone can get in one and go fast with it right away.

Still getting used to the awesome Stoptech brakes and the new RSRT valved Ridetech shocks. I'm figuring out I can brake earlier and then get off the brakes before corner entry and the new Secret Sauce shocks will keep the front pinned down yet being off the brakes lets me carry WAY more speed into and thru the corner. There is more in it still, will just take time to learn to trust it'll stick.

Here was my best run of the day.



and here was Mike's best run of the day.



I finished a tenth off of Tommy Tomerdale in CAM T and Mike was right behind me. Tommy has an awesome 67 camaro with an LS6 and C5 front and rear suspension under it all on 315s. I'm pretty happy with how we did.

You can sort these by fast time and PAX...

Anyway, had fun racing in December...can't wait to do it again.

Awesome, glad it's working out well!
