I will crunch the numbers over the weekend, but as far as I can tell the Ultima was 3rd fastest overall.

J Schwartz 1974 Ultima GTR Yellow
01.42.62 1.38.65 1.36.45 01.42.62 1.36.45 (Best)

[89 RS]

Great stuff! Looks and sounds like everybody had a great time.

Schwartz Chassis equipped cars did well.
Mike Holleman won the Long Distance award after driving his ElCamino over 1000 mile and competing in the entire event.
Myself and Chris Jacobs tied for 3rd overall with AX being the tiebreaker. Chris led Finch in the AX for a bit, I had a shock failure in the Temptress that took me out of the Ax late in the day.

I showed up to El Toro with R888's and would do it again everyday of the week. Sure next time I want to go for the trophy but I have no regrets.

it had nothing to do with treadwear, i have r888 and some pilot sports.(last rtth i ran r888 and was not allowed in the competition) while driving on the street my 69 broke a valve spring, and started skipping. with aix racing,and all my shop work i did not have time to get right on it and get it fixed. I chose not to go because i did not have a customer hot rod or my car to bring. I could of brought the race car, but i could only use it at gingerman, it doesnt like 20-40mph.
looked like a great event i wont miss the next one.
