Thanks man! The car ran great these past two weekends between GoodGuys and the USCA event at Texas Motor Speedway.
Check out these stats for the 37 registered cars at the USCA event...on the speed/stop challenge the event logged 740 laps. Heck I think I ran around 40 myself. On the auto-x there was 1264 laps run or 33 laps per participant. Today we ran 2100 laps on the road course and a few of us had mechanicals or just flat got wore out. There was only one car, Cheryl Herrick in her Jet Hot Nova in the final Advanced class that ran for a 12 minute session all alone. She had an instructor and was hitting the rev limiter going faster and faster. For me, this was an event like none other as far as testing car and driver ability. I give the sponsors (Optima, BFG, DSE, Ridetech, Jet Hot, Snap-On, etc.) and Jimi Day and his team/partners a major round of applause. It was safe, educational and very fun.
Here is a pretty cool pic of my Camaro on the road course. My day did end early when I lost a rear axle seal but I had a blast. Limped it home without incident and now am thinking what to do next. I'd love to install a 9" full floater. Hmm...Daytona is not far off on the schedule!

The Camaro looked and sounded awesome out there. It was certainly a true performer.
