[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!

DRIVER: Roger Averill
CAR: Mustang GT

DETAILS: 4.6L; Cushman Motorsports cams, KYP AGX dampers, Maximum Motorsports panhard bar, Eibach swaybars, Ford Racing Springs, Corbeau A4

DRIVER INFO: Roger is so excited about the Road Trip, he can’t focus on just one aspect, from the cruise to the autocross to the camaraderie! His car is frantically undergoing prep for paint; and immediately following the Road Trip, he’ll be hightailing it for home so he can compete in yet another autocross!




DRIVER: Garry Walsh
CAR: 2004 Corvette Z06

DETAILS: LS6; Hyperco springs, QA1 shocks, Strano swaybar, Elite Engineering tunnel brace

DRIVER INFO: Garry was born in England, grew up in South Africa, and has lived in the USA for 16 years. His Corvette has intake and exhaust upgrades, as well as engine tune, upgraded seats, harnesses and bar, and more! Nearly all of these autocross customization have been done at home. Garry is looking forward to meeting new friends, learning from others, and improving his driving.



DRIVER: Joel Route
CAR: 2007 Mustang GT

DETAILS: 4.6L/TR3650

DRIVER INFO: Joel loves working on and driving cars, but he needed something with a back seat for his growing boys; Mustangs also have great aftermarket support, so it’s easier to find parts Joel can use to improve performance and install himself. Joel will be accompanied by his two young sons and is looking forward to the first Boys-Only car trip with them! Joel has done all of the modifications in his own garage and has made the car a solid performer for autocross, driving, drag racing, and road course.




DRIVER: Tom Childers
CAR: 2011 Caprice PPV (Police Patrol Vehicle)

DETAILS: 6.0L L77, 6L80; stock police suspension, Kooks Long Tube Headers and high-flow cats, Solo Axle-back, Rotofab CIA

DRIVER INFO: Tom purchased this car from a dealer with only 41 miles on it; with the parts he’s installed and a tune from PCM of NC, this car now has 373 rwhp and 393 lb/ft torque. He’s looking forward to the Road Trip and the fun of autocrossing what he says is the biggest car in the group! He enjoys the car because no one expects it to sound and perform the way it does; they’ve taken it on the HRPT Long Haul, done some drag racing, cruise-ins, and car shows, AND it’s Tom’s daily driver!
