Well we made it through the weekend with no major problems at des moines good guys autocross. Trent and his crew put together an awesome course and i think it was probably the biggest and fastest gg autocross ive ever ran and i had a lot of fun...this course was actually big enough it wouldnt have hurt to have a little more power to pull the straights a little harder. We had to do a little tuning to get the car to turn in....with the new rear suspension we realized it had way to much front sway bar and not enough rear bar. So luckily kyle tucker was nice enough to help us swap out the front bar at lunch friday and it really helped the car transition and turn in. After the changes my times started to pick up and ended up good enough for third. I think im going to put an adjustable rear sway bar in the car and maybe go to an even lighter front bar and see what that does. But all in all it was a good weekend and had alot of fun with everyone and looking forward to getting to the next event.
Good to hear you had such good results right out of the box Kevin. I know you have not had a bunch of time to dial in the car since the suspension changes. That says alot about your skills behind the wheel. Nice work!

Never underestimate the grandma. Mine used to have us kids flying around the back seat of her old Torino hauling a** everywhere she drove us. She used to scare the hell out of us.
well i got to take my camaro to the heidts performance car challenge this weekend and had a blast and got to meet alot of nice people and see some killer cars. unfortunately our weekend was cut short when we spun a rod bearing on the road course on saturday. The track was a ton of fun and this was the first road course i have had the car on and it was feeling really good till the motor let go. thanks to my good friend albert for letting me wheel his firebird the rest of the day and still had a great time hanging out with everyone. Also had a blast with the karbon kustoms karting enduro where myself, mike from optima, and greg from ridetech finished a lap ahead of second place. lol it was a riot! All in all it was a great weekend and had a ton of fun despite killing a motor. hoping to have another motor in the car in the next couple weeks.
Saw the car at the Heidt's facility on Friday afternoon, looks sweet. Was hoping you kick some butt on the autocross. Sorry to here about the motor, you going to build something with more power or just repair the one thats in the car?
I havent decided for sure what im gonna do yet. Its probably either gonna be a stock LS2 or try to find an LS6. Wish i had the funds to put some real power in the car but dont quite have the budget for that right now. Big power is really all the car is lacking to run with the top guys on the road course...but for now im just gonna do what i can with what i have and get the thing back together and running.
