We will have the Velocity Camaro, our black 71 Camaro RS, our 70 Nova SS and our 66 Impala SS at Ames. Maybe a couple more if the planets align.
The autocross is simple...no helmets required as speeds are typically below 35mph. Solid brake pedal, all your lugnuts, battery tied down, no loose items in car, and SEAT BELTS. You wouldn't beleive how many people want to run without seat belts. You must have seat belts.
See you there!Bret Voelkel

Hey Bret, Glad to see ya bringing Autocross to Ames. Do you know where the coarse will be set up? I work for Iowa State University where we will all end up. Hopefully I can get the Camaro on the coarse a couple of times. What do think the cost will be? Looking forward to meeting you and your crew.

I do not know the exact location of the autocross at the Ames stop. Our marketing director Peg Vernon [peg@ridetech.com] would have this info. There won't be any additional cost over the price of the Power Tour entry. I have tried to find that info on the Hotrod.com site but it has proven elusive so far. If I remember its under $50. See you there!

Bret I am planning to do the autocross. You may remember my car from Good Guys in Chicago last year. I took 2nd place in a close battle at the end of the day. It was the most fun I have had with my car since I bought it in 1993. I want to thank you guys for putting on the autocross for the Power Tour & Good Guys events. Anybody who has not tried it yet is in for a great time. I am looking forward to seeing the new Camaro. Are you guys doing the entire Power Tour? See you then Eric.
