[Video] No Regrets: Carl Casanova and his '68 Chevy Camaro RS
 

Hotchkis Sport Suspension has just released its latest video profiling one of our customers, Carl Casanova. Carl's '68 Supercharged LS1 Camaro is not only a beautiful example of a first generation GM F-Body, but with its complete Hotchkis TVS suspension, it is also a real driver. On any given weekend you will find Carl tearing up a local autocross, pushing his limits on a racetrack, out enjoying local mountain roads, or just cruising along California's famed Pacific Coast Highway. Carl has a unique philosophy that isn't shared by the average classic car enthusiast. He says, "I can always fix it. I can never go back and do it again." Carl will be putting his car philosophy to the test this May when he takes his car to compete in the One Lap of America race - one of the most grueling road racing events in the country. Over eight days, Carl, his car, and his co-driver will travel through 14 states and endure 20 different events that include wet handling, dry handling, braking, drag racing, and no less than 15 separate Time Trials at some of the best race tracks in the US. Carl will also be running this race to benefit the Honor Flight Charity - an organization that flies Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.

I just looked on the site.. anyone know what that event costs? Considering it for a 2014 bid... Targa is 5800.00 and that is a stretch for a race as far as I cam concerned..

Great video!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Stud:thumbsup:

That is some role model worthy philosophy right there.:thumbsup:

That was a good video :thumbsup:

Awesome video - should be a fun year!

Pretty cool, I miss trading paint with you Carl...and Buttonwillow track days too. :D

Aw shucks :faint:

Thanks guys.

Thanks to Hotchkis and Kahn media for choosing to spotlight my little obsession. They are both class acts and it's great that they share many of the same passions for life.

I gotta get back to work. The Team Honor Flight Camaro does not seem to have parts jumping back in it by itself. Lots of updates coming soon.....

True-er words were never spoken. An honorable man doing an honorable thing for all the right reasons.

Congrats Carl!. :cheers: Oh, and quit skipping lunch. You're getting too skinny :lol:

Nice Carl!!


Ya big stud!! <think Meg Ryan>:lol: :lol:

"Take me to bed or lose me forever!"
