Just curious here... Is the autocross timed for SMOTY contestants? Does their time carry any weight in competition or is it simply to show that the car is capable? If the time is a factor, the only car known to have any shakedown time is the Ring Brothers.

Cool to see the Firebird there!!
Im guessing it wont get an award.. but it could possibly be the car there has been the most driven and abused in the past year. I got to keep that car at my house for 2 months here in Socal... put all the break in miles on it... had that junk going 160+ while racing my Camaro.... lol.

Love that car!!!!!!!

Some killer cars.
I like the Ring Bros Mustang, Innovator and that black T/A, which I believe was done by ASP. Those would be my 3 choices.

Your right we built the black firebird, and I appreciate the compliment! We had a blast with the car in the autocross, but I agree Dragon, Innovator, and the Runt were all VERY awesome cars all properly prepared for the show. The bird was loaded with dead bugs and road rash, the owner and I can't resist driving her all over so its hard to compete in shows...she's just meant to haul a**!!
