Usually I would be out of town, but thankfully this year I will be local and will be attending this event. Brett from Fab 53 (Tow Hook guy) and I will be meeting up at my place early Friday morning to head down to the Auto Cross. If anyone would like to join us in our slow paced 85mph trip down the coast to Del Mar from the OC, let me know. We can go slower if necessary---well, I can, Brett--not so much.

Hoping to see some of you out there for the event. Will be curious to see what overall attendence is going to be like at this one since it is a true holiday weekend that is a pretty hard core family time for most.

I've got the new Magnum T56 in my ride, but am still rockin it one legged jihad style (Team OLJ) or, One Wheel Squeal as Rupp calls it.

Dude, yes of course---and, I have the T400 tailshaft packed in the car to hand off to you. Just remind me it's there when you come over so you actually go home with it.

We had our families thanksgiving dinner yesterday because a lot of us had work or other obligations in my wife's family. We're going up there today to see if anyone is still there, (Sunday).

If anyone is interested in meeting up or if you have your car and a booth or space there then let me know, (619)761-7740.

Sometimes Chad from Bangshift posts 'em up on various sites but they are usually on the Good Guys forum site within a few days. Was a great event and I think this year's autocross topped it for spectators. They were packed six deep against the fences.

The course was not the standard "peanut" we've grown to love and I got lots of 1-2-1 (repeat as necessary) shifting practice.

Mary Won Street Machine (on the last run of the day), Bret (Ridetech) Won vendor, The Ridetech equipped truck beat out the Hotchkis trucks by a couple tenths, and I know the car, but I forget the name of the Street Rod winner.

Does anyone have pictures of the ride tech equipped truck?

What car was competing with Mary in the street machine class?

Mark Rife's '63 Corvette had it in the bag until the Shootout. With that LS7, Kumho-shod, lightweight car, he was blazingly fast both days. Good Guys had the top three in each class take two final runs before shutting off the official timed laps at 3:30 on Saturday. Mark was leading with 50.4 and I had 50.8 so had to go faster than his best time to win Street Machine. I ended up with 50.2 and Mark unfortunately didn't improve on that 50.4. Last run and had to make it count. Coming through the last turn and headed to the Finish, I knew the run was good but didn't know if it was enough ...

Very tough course, too. No "peanut" this time but three pin-turns and I had to shift between gears (either up or down) eight times which really sucked. Mark could stay in first gear and didn't get to practice this like I did. After two days of about a million shifts, I got pretty good at it. Somewhere I read that each time you shift, it takes .2 seconds to do so.

Can't remember the Truck or Street Rod winner's names but Bret Voelkel from RideTech won Vendor.

from a Ridetech email:


Our last show the year, GoodGuys Del Mar, ended yesterday with a big win from Ridetech. Our very own 48 Hour Camaro driven by Brett Voelkel finished first place in the vendor autocross. Additionally, Mary Pozzi won the street machine class with her Camaro using our Triple Adjustable coilovers, and Rob Mckeown took first place in the truck class with our coilovers. It was a great event this year… tons of people made it out to the show, many of which were at the autocross. We’re quite happy with the results, and we hope to see you guys out at the shows next year.

The '67 Ford F-100 ran a 51.1 second final lap to beat the expertly driven Hotchkis C-10 of Mike Hickman, who set quick time earlier in the day with a 51.4 sec. lap. The Ford didn't look that fast going around the track, but the brake dust burning as it dove into the hairpin was pretty cool!

My friend was telling me about that one. Ive raced him before, and saw him at the last GG Del Mar event. This is the truck right?

yep...I was beat soundly by at least a couple of trucks. At least the winner had our shocks!:)

Del Mar was probably the slickest track I had ever run on that wasn't wet. I looked like break dancing swine out there!

The black Ford truck comes out of John Meadows Deuces Wild shop in Oxnard, Ca . Scott Call was driving. It has a [gasp] Fatmans frontend and a custom 3 link rear with the RideTech single adjustable coilovers all around. He has a new set of the Triple adjustable units sitting beside the truck right now...with all winter to play with them:) Tiny shop, but rabid to make this thing fast.

12-07-2011, 07:13 PM
That is one nice truck and if my experience with the triple-adjustables are any indication, he's gonna fly with that truck next year once he gets 'em on and sorted. Those shocks are incredible ...

We all know I cheat with my 300 treadwear 225/35/19's Mini Cooper tires on front--they cut down the rolling resistance--or something like that. It was all Big Wanda's idea anyways.

So Matt, you missed the Big Wanda crowd again---it was more entertaining this time than last. Chad Reynolds read the sign to the crowd for one, then I had a doctor (from India I believe) hand me his card while I was sitting in Blu Ballz getting ready to go back out onto the autocross with Cris G and this guy says "Here's my card, call me--I want to negotiate with you about your car". The price on the sign is $8,500 if you remember. I couldn't stop laughing. Told him to call the number first and see if Big Wanda would negotiate. LOL. I think there must have been, at peak, a good 400 people crowded around that fence line--maybe more. It was amazing to actually see it. Made it crazy fun. Missed having you out there though---your car looks so wicked with those new wheels on it---and I didn't think your car could look any better---looks hyper agressive with that combo on it. I think Dave Pozzi did like a 7500 clutch drop with it--you may want to take it for a test drive to see if it's making a ticking noise around the oil pan area. LOL.

Bring it to Cars and Coffee this Sat---I'm going to take the lowrider/pizza cutter/one legged jihad burner out there.

That is great. Tell Big Wanda that I'll shell out $100 more than the Doctor's best offer, up to $7500. As for David, it looks like he figured out how to drive my casual Sunday cruiser. If you don't give it revs, it will just bog off the line. The ticking is normal. The engine has a special internal timer to keep track of lap times...

I'll dust the car off and drive it up to Irvine. Looking forward to meeting up. Is anyone else up for an early Saturday morning?

I'll probably try to be there around 7am. Ugh. Seems like people keep getting there earlier and earlier, hope the lot isn't full by then. It was really crowded when I last went in the summer. Josh said he was going to make the drive up in the DC Camaro, but wouldn't be up until at least 8am. No idea when Big Wanda will be there, probably depends when BW's shift ends...
