Many of you know Carl Casanova and his 1968 Camaro. Carl's been a long time friend of the Hotchkis team, joining us for track days, autocrossing, car shows and more. He's always been great about letting us use his car for R&D and testing.

We recently did some track prep on Carl's car and while it was at the shop, we received a visit from Speedhunters' talented shooter, Linhbergh. Carl kindly gave Aaron and Linbergh permission to take the car out for a test drive.

You can read all the details of their adventure, as well as some funny background history about the Camaro on the Speedhunters site.

Speedhunters has some of the best auto photography on the web, so here's a few shots from the story.

Here's the link to the story:

Thanks guys! I really like Linhbergh's photographic perspectives and use of movement. It's really rewarding to see it look that good since the car has a bunch of track-day pebble rash.

That's a canyon up above Hacienda Heights. I was stuck in work meetings in Michigan while they did the photo shoot.

Rick, it's a new spring Hotchkis has been working on. There will be more information coming on all of the changes that Hotchkis has been doing to the car, but suffice it to say for now that the car is far better than it was before.
