Default [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..
