I used it today, and I am not a Goodguys member. Worth printing out and taking with you, $3 is $3 in my book.

Was definitely a nice day to be out... I was there from about 11-2 maybe. Definitely a large show, took me a while to preview the whole thing. Hoping to go back tomorrow... trying to find a '69 Camaro in the $25k area to buy. Definitely saw a few for sale, but not as many as I had thought.

Saw a nice blue (white racing stripes) SS with a 350 and 700 overdrive tranny for $27,500. Looking for manual tranny but cant be too picky Im beginning to learn.

Also saw a few hugger orange ones for sale. Hoping to see a few more tomorrow!

Yeah, he was really haulin' the mail out there today. I think I spent about 2 hrs watching the autocross, good stuff.[/QUOTE]

hey thanks for the kind words guys. yeah i gave it all i had this weekend and we were able to stay on top of finch most the day today (saturday) with a 33.3 and about mid afternoon he clicked off a 33.1 so we will have one more shot tomorrow morning with cool temps to get back on top. It doesn't help i kinda brought a knife to a gun fight lol but we are having a great time and finch is a heck of a wheel man so im happy we are as close as we are...although it would be really cool to get a win. we will see how tomorrow plays out.

Here is a video that we made of our Sunoco Camaro being run. Kyle Tucker of Detroit Speed was riding along to give us some tips.

Default Goodguys Nashville

both myself and my son Mark jr. learned a bunch at our first event. many thanks to Kyle Tucker with DSE for the help and advise on the Sunoco Camaro. we started today on the upgrades to help plant the car. Mark ran 3 rd in his class which I thought was super for his first event. now its my job to get him more seat time and make the car the best it can be. once again every factory we spoke with about changing the car was more help than you could ask for. we hope to have the car back together in 3 weeks for a SCCA event in Birmingham to test our work. Performance Car Craft now has the car and apart it goes. hope to see you all soon at the next Goodguys event. thanks mark
