Cool, thanks for posting those. Golly geez, looking at the results, I did better than I thought considering I only got 3 runs in. My old-school carbureted iron big block with my 300 treadwear tires ain't so bad after all. Best part of my day was when, in the middle of our 2nd run, I heard my wife say, "God, this is so much fun." Having her on board with the whole thing helps big time!
I got to ride with Doug on his 34.4 pass and he absolutely drove the snot out of his car on that run. It was a real blast and it taught me a few things about pushing my car a little harder. I can't wait to see what Doug starts running after he gets his new suspension and new LS motor in place. Great improvement by Matt also. He's really getting good out there now. Of course Steve in Bad Penny and the OLC were laying it down as usual.
I did not know that Kyle Tucker in his '70 Camaro came so close to beating that lightweight Maier Racing Mustang. That's pretty amazing driving right there, by both drivers.
Definitely a great event. Congrats to all the other top finishers!
Man I was so jealous watching all you guys from the fence. My unisteer rack won't allow me to make that last left hand turn on the course or I'd join in. 3 point turns don't look so cool out there. Take a wild guess what part is going up for sale this winter? lol Cars looked/sounded great everyone.
Hope you all have had a good time at the first four Goodguys events and three of them had the Goodguys AutoCross. We have fifteen events during the season that have the AutoCross and looking forward to adding others for 2012 and adding some Sunday AutoCrosses to the mix.
Next up is Nashville TN that will have the AutoCross running all three days. Yes Sunday from 9 to noon we will be running the AutoCross and the winners will be challenging the track all three days to figure out the winner.
On another note the Truck class has been won at all three events by one guy!!!! it is time to knock him off and get another truck into the mix...Calling all trucks!!!
The Vendor class has seen three different winners with Bret from Ride Tech, Kyle Tucker from Detroit Speed and Mike Maier from Maier racing. So far two Fords and a Chevy.
After Nashville Goodguys will be doing two AutoCrosses on the same weekend, one in Colorado and one in Pleasanton CA. I will be at the one in Pleasanton and Trent will be in Colorado. Hope to see some of you there.
Please make sure you use the $3.00 off spectator ticket price if you go to an event without a car. Special promotion just for members.
On top of that - it's the nicest family a guy could ever want to meet!
Thanks Greg, The family had a blast this last weekend. The group of people that this sport brings together is BY FAR the best people around. It was great to spend some more time with you, Rodger, Doug, Brett,...... It is pretty awesome that a group that is out to beat each other can be such good friends and genuinely want to help each other go faster even if it means getting beat.
I know i was not the only person out there that commented on the fact that its a tight group of people when the heads of some of the larger company's, ie. Kyle from DSE, Mike from Maier, Brett from Ridetech, all played musical cars and took turns tearing up the course.
The other stand out for me was Jess Gould was out their running the Dart! Even though she was not the fastest it was the most fun to watch!

Thanks Kyle, and nice getting to know you better. You are one hell of a driver, and it was fun seeing your different driving style as compared to mine when you took my car for a spin.
Ill make sure I stop calling Craig..Kyle lol.
Good time with all and a great group of people....Doug did beat the S&*t out of that one legged Viagra machine. It sure will be different with 2 legs and an LS3 erection.
Tom from AZ has a bad ass stock looking 67 Camaro. That thing hooks up and thanks for the ride along.
Man Im bummed.... Jon's 72 Nova now is faster and his driving skills are going to push that budget minded machine to faster times than mine. So, I guess back to the drawing board for me. Congrats and good job Jon.
As usual, No Limit is a great group to hang out with, Tina was a great host and kept inviting me to the group lunch back at the camper, but I kept using my lunch time to look around. Maybe next time Rob and Tina. Thanks
Greg Weld you dirty dog...sneaking in and paying for everyones dinner with your monkey hat. That was some funny stuff.
Brett

Chris, wait till you slip in the "lighter" motor you have going on---it was awesome seeing you bust into the 34's on your only the 3rd pass--this was a great event between the Newmans, Matt, Henry, Shawn, Scott, Carl, GW, Dave, Stig, Jon, Rupp, Robert, etc, etc---what a blast. Wish we could do one a month---congrats to you my friend--that was awesome. Thanks again for the use of the room!!

It is funny and sad how no one gives Mike any credit for beating everyone with his 280 hp mustang.
