Goodguy Ed
11-16-2013, 06:15 PM
Well it was really exciting at the event. I wish this could tell how this all went down to the wire. We had the best group of AutoCrossers and the largest crowds around it all day.

Cincinnati, Ohio’s Danny Popp was born to AutoCross. Raised in a racing family, Popp began soloing at SCCA AutoCross events at the tender age of 16. He hasn’t looked back since. In a career that’s spanned 27 years he’s racked up 13 national championships in SCCA and NASA AutoCross racing. Proving he can get it done on the “big course” as well, Popp was a popular winner of the 2011 Optima Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational event at Las Vegas.

He can now add another championship trophy to his mantle. On a perfect 70-degree afternoon at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona this past weekend, Popp proved once again he’s the nation’s top AutoCross driver by steering his family’s 1972 Corvette to a hard-fought win in the first-ever Goodguys AutoCross Finals Shootout event.

This was no ordinary AutoCross. This was a 24-car field of the top cone chasers in the country. The lineup included past SCCA Solo Champions Mary Pozzi, Mike Maier, Jim McKamey, Brian Hobaugh (fresh off a win in the 2013 OUSCI), McGregor, Voelkel – the who’s who was all in here in Scottsdale.

Popp’s run to victory wasn’t easy. He started off slow (for him) during Friday’s qualifications and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning, welding and thrashing on his mighty Corvette. His elimination runs got gradually quicker and he soon became the quickest car on race day clicking off an event-best 64.669 in the semi-finals.

After four grueling rounds of eliminations, his final round opponent turned out to be none other than nemesis and fellow fast Corvette guy Brian Hobaugh. These two have a long standing kinship and have raced each other in the past which you can read about here.

As the two titans faced off in the final, Popp went out first, bobbing weaving and thundering to a 64.914. With the imposing number posted on the board, Hobaugh strapped in his family’s ’65 Corvette and gave it his all. His fate was sealed on a tight turn when an orange cone was flung skyward, spelling certain defeat (hitting a cone is a costly 1 second penalty in Goodguys AutoCross competition). Like a true champion, Hobaugh legged it out to a valiant 66.362 run.

Ever the enthusiastic racer, Popp was emotional in the winner’s circle. “I know my mom Judy was looking on today” he said. “My mom and dad (Herb Popp) raised me at the track. My dad bought this Corvette over 40 years ago and I still get to drive it. As a young kid, I just knew I wanted to race AutoCross for the rest of my life. And today we got it done. This was the hardest field I’ve ever raced. There has to be over 40 SCCA national championships combined with all these drivers here today. I couldn’t be happier”

Popp’s menacing blue Corvette features a destroked Lingenfelter-built LS7 which pumps out 550 rear wheel horsepower. The car uses Vansteel Corvette suspension with JRi shocks, Forgeline GA3R 18-inch wheels, 6-piston and 4-piston Wilwood brakes and BF Goodrich “Rival” tires

By winning the event, Popp was named Goodguys 2013 AutoCrosser of the Year and in addition to the $3,000 winner’s check, he’ll receive a custom toolbox from Snap-on Tools and tires from BF Goodrich.

No such drama, Donny. Bret accidentally hit a cutoff switch with his wallet, leg, whatever and killed the engine mid-run.

I'm willing to guess because he didn't have lights, turn signals, or other appropriate stuff for a REAL street car...unless he was there with something other than his SCCA D Mod Elan.

Wonder what that was about. Fix or modification. It obviously worked whatever it was.

How come Mike and Brian had helmets on?

I'm willing to guess because he didn't have lights, turn signals, or other appropriate stuff for a REAL street car...unless he was there with something other than his SCCA D Mod Elan.

It was the D Mod Élan ...

Cool to watch it run, though.

A personal decision to support the safety aspect. GoodGuys doesn't mandate their use as this is elective for the competitors. The speeds we are seeing may have me joining them soon.

We are not driving low-horse powered cars and sometimes see those "running out of talent" moments. If this is/was you, wearing a helmet could save your life and especially so if your car has a full roll cage.

Mike, Jim with the Cobra, and I decided to lead by example that wearing helmets on the Autocross is a good thing. Goodguys does not mandate the use of helmets but they sure liked us wearing them. I hope more of the top drivers start we wearing them.... I am sure they will. We need to set an example. Concrete barriers are not very forgiving.

No such drama, Donny. Bret accidentally hit a cutoff switch with his wallet, leg, whatever and killed the engine mid-run.

Good to hear!

That's what I thought. I wish I would have gone out with Danny just to see the cars together again.

Just want to take a second and thank all who participated in our first shoot out. Thanks to the folks who made the pull from the East it truly was an awesome weekend, I'd like to thank our sponsors for without you this wouldn't be possible. The bar has been set and boy is it high. So boys and girls work on your junk 2014 will be here before you know it.

What's up with the Mark Huffman DQ?



Crazy story. I met this guy today. He’s an appraiser and was doing the appraisal for my rental in Phoenix. He had a SCCA shirt on so that led into what happened at the GG event. Apparently he didn’t have working head lights. I gave him this site info so hopefully he will join us.

its not just lights. per Goodguys rules the car must be completely street legal, licensed, insured and registered, in order to be a street machine...no lights, no registration, no insurance, no race

Wow and small world. That Lotus is a D Mod SCCA Solo car clear as glass. If Mark comes back with something street legal that meets the criteria, he'd most likely do very well as he's got the talent behind the wheel to get it done.

This was one great event and I was glad to be a part of it, even if I got knocked out in the first round of cuts. How often are you going to get to hang out with so many autocross and motor sports legends, and get to see a real Cobra getting run for all its worth?

Here are a couple of Mike Maier's Runs. Listen to those poor valves float.

This is the round 3 final where Popp Knocks Mike out. You can hear Popps run in the background after the car stops. Lots of drama and good racing.
