1985 Monte Carlo SS known as Barney

[SSLance]

Had to add data to this run from Sunday at Marana just to see for myself.

I'm particularly pleased with the cars ability to transition back and forth 1G to 1G several times in a row in a 45-50 mph slalom without breaking a sweat or sliding a tire. We had two drivers running back to back in back to back run groups, so 16 runs total in a little about 2 and a half hours time. We sprayed the right rear and right front tire once to cool them down after the 12th run is all. Other than that just turn the key and go. Still haven't touched a screw or a knob since last October.

Pretty happy camper...



Here are some cool pics from the event as well.













Way more great pics from Amanda Hitt here... https://adventurewife.smugmug.com/20...SCCA/i-QF7TkGR

Finally got around to adding that safety item that I hope I never have to use. On board fire system...



Here you can see the manual pull T-handle and the driver nozzle.



Here is the engine nozzle





I didn't grab a pic of the third nozzle that sticks through the trunk floor and points at the fuel pump and fuel lines on top of the fuel tank.

I also finally put a pretty good bend up on the throttle pedal to make it easier to get 100% throttle, probably raised it an inch off the floor.



Now I'm all ready for two days of on track action at Arizona Motorsports Park Feb 22-23. Skipping the SCCA Autocross this weekend to save my tires for the track weekend.

Lance, looks good! Did you get an automatic system or just a manual system?

Been looking at Safecraft systems also, and by the way ... please make sure ALL firewall pass-throughs are sealed. That pic w the wire loom looks suspiciously loose, FYI.

Thanks Michael. It's a 10# 3 nozzle manual system.

The event pics were great. That 70 Chevelle looks so good even with that pole accident in the drive's side.

Glad the car is working well for you, Lance!

Mike's car is awesome, all hand built in his home shop too. His wife Amanda always does a great job behind the viewfinder as well. When I get a chance later I'll show his in progress pics fixing the dent. It's in a real bad spot and a royal PITA to repair, but hes getting there.

Hi Lance,
The car is looking good and seems to be performing well. The sec gen camaro on the side of you looks interesting.Is the owner a member on lateral-g?


Mike,
