I saw Penny sittting in the lot at the Good Guys show with an "E" marked on the window. Some of the other guys standing around said Steve pulled the front air dam off after hitting a cone, and that it is was running 18's in the autocross. Any truth to that? Did anyone get a picture or video?

I have both pictures and video that should be up later tonight. Not only did he beat on it all day he also drove it home afterwards. I just happened to catch him on my way home going down the freeway on-ramp at the same time I did.

Larry,
do you know whose yellow Nova that was running through the autocross? That was a brutal car! You could tell it had been set up to race/autocross/scare the crap out of the people riding in the pasenger's seat.

MY best time in the car was 18.31 ... I need more practice ,but that was a pretty good time. I need to hit the track more often.

I let Bret and Britt fro Air Ride Tech beat my cars and they were knocking down 17.x with the best being a 17.6

I do believe Kyle or Stacy got their Camaro down into the 17.1 range... I think with some changes I could be competative. Man, those people can DRIVE!! Several of the Air Ride cars were in the low 17 range as well.

Oh, anyone here good at repairing Carbon Fiber? lol

Also, it was Bret of Air Ride that wiped out cones until my front spoiler was a shattered mess. lol.. not me..

I have a nice cone rash from Kyle Tucker at DSE as well.. but it was worth it to watch pros drive my car.

Larry should have video to post.. don't ya Larry???

Oh, I won "Cool Camaro" award.. I was the only car in the winners circle that had driven the auto cross. I thought that was pretty cool :)

That was from CPP.. running TCI stuff.. it tested very well. There's a full story on it in the current NOVA CLASSICS magazine (newsstand)

Its really cool that you run/drive the car, not just show it. Several people while I was standing there were marveling about the level of fabrication in the car. I'm sure none of them knew that it had been hit last year. You have such a great example of what a pro-touring car can be.
