[jb@ridetech]

DRIVER: Alan Claffie
CAR: 2008 Mazda MX-5

DETAILS: 2.0L, 6spd; Ohlins DFV suspension

DRIVER INFO: Originally his wife’s car, Alan started driving it last fall when she was unable to drive after an ankle injury, and he doesn’t think she’s going to get it back just yet! Alan especially likes his Parsimonious Racing door stripes, and is looking forward to meeting car folks and hopefully showing the muscle cars a thing or two with his economy car.



DETAILS: 383 LT1@500hp, T56 spd; UMI Performance Suspension, AFCO DA shocks, springs, and more, Wilwood brakes, MSD Ignition, caster/camber/toe set up by Quick Trick Alignment System

DRIVER INFO: Buddy has spent the last 20 years drag racing in an ’80 Monte, but caught the bug and started competing in OSUSC events in 2009. This will be his 12th consecutive year on the Hot Rod Power Tour, and this car sees autocross and drag strip events on a regular basis as well as seeing close to 10,000 miles a year!



DRIVER: Dennis Berry
CAR: 1976 ProStreet Chevy Nova

DETAILS: 383 w/200-shot nitrous, 411 rear with 4-link rear suspension

DRIVER INFO: Dennis writes that he bought this car for five rolls of quarters in 2001 and did all the work himself except for paint! He bought a welder and learned to weld tubbing out the car; they’ve driven it everywhere, and are very excited for the Road Trip and autocross. The car’s only experience with curves was the Tail of the Dragon, and they say it was a ride to remember!
