I was only there for a few hours, but got to see some of the autocross, met Frank and Lisa and Yancy a little later. Hope to see more of the guys tomorrow.

Default nemesis

Does anyone know if the nemesis mustang made it to the show. I didn't see it on the list of autocross times. I thought that they were trying for smoty?

Kevin Alstott, ’68 Camaro – Best Time 17.6 (Roger Burman built car. Fast!)

I'm surprised that this car did so well considering it was a convertible. Does anybody have any stats on it?

The Kenny Davis built camaro looks really good with wheel change imo.

Thanks for the Air Ride link Al. It is neat to see some of the other cars and the Fesler Blazer carving it up.

Being that we just finished this car we had no tunning time and wanted to hammer it but could not get it to run right. Made the three laps needed as fast as it would run and will go again at the next show they have it. Lots of people had tunning issues out there, never enough time to finish projects.

Regarding Troy's Nova and it's slower times, - it was transmission troubles that kept them from having the performance they wanted. They were having frequency problems with the eletrical aspect of the Bowler tranny. They thrashed all Friday morning before finally saying "heck with it" and unplugged it, which deafults that tranny to second gear. They idled over there and did all three laps in second gear. It was a circumstance where they just wanted to get the laps in. I spoke to Troy personally this morning and that's the scoop.

I will post the top five finalists this afternoon. Stay tuned
