So. Cal. Del Mar Goodguys Autocross

[Larry Callahan]

What a weekend! Traffic was a mess and it took us 2-3 hours to get to the autocross once we hit the freeway off ramp. Susan and I had a great time all weekend and I got a little time throttle steering. What a blast! I hope the two in car videos that were shot comes out. One hot one not. LOL!

We are pretty burnt, tired and heading to bed. I will post more tomorrow and throw in a few pics.

Thanks to optima for inviting me to display my car in their spot on Sunday, to Prodigy Customs for building it and thanks to the fan crowd that I could hear yelling and cheering me on during my laps.

Wish you had made it Frank. It was a BLAST!!!!

Did anyone get pics or video of MotiV8r on the track? I don't have a single shot from the weekend.

Wow, what an event. The show was PACKED on Saturday, the Autocross drew a big (and loud) crowd of spectators watching the action, and the cars were all incredible. We're thrilled that the Good Guys crowd has gotten so enthusiastic about people driving their cars the way they were meant to be driven.

As David noted above, Mary did some incredible driving all weekend. You couldn't find a nicer, more enthusiastic and energetic couple on the planet than the Pozzis, and we were thrilled to have their car in our booth (on the rare occasion it wasn't on the auto-cross course). Congrats to Mary, and a HUGE thank you for all her enthusiasm and incredible driving.

We'll have full coverage with an article and photos up on the site later today, and we should have several videos up this week. In the meantime, here are a few shots of some forum members.

This was my first time trying out the autocross and man what a blast it was!! The pictures above make me laugh because everyone looks so smooth behind the wheel and there I am with my elbow flinging out the window!! LOL!!!

But seriously after seeing all the cool car and drivers in Costa Mesa, I really wanted to get out and try my hand at the autocross. My car was such a big boat compared to all the cool Camaros and I have a lot to learn in terms of how to navigate the course, nevertheless it was fun as heck.

Thank you Mary for taking me around a couple of laps and letting me get a feel for how one should drive the course!! I appreciate all the helpful hints and tips and support. You all are a great bunch of people and I look forward to getting out there again!

Once again, it was awesome to be out there with you guys. Good to meet more of the members also.

I hope someone got some pictures of my car, maybe the "bonsai" run right after lunch.

I will third (or fourth) that Mary and David are the nicest couple around. -The Stig- road with David for three consecutive runs, just BS'ing about 2nd gens and misc. junk.

Come on Larry! I need your autocross event, I need my fix!

wow

[Steve1968LS2]

darn... I shouldve tried harder to go. People I talk to all say it was sweet. I'll make the next one for sure. How much was the cost to run your own car on the course?

The autocross is free to anyone with a car entered in the show.. so the cost is the price to attend a GG event.. I think that's $70 for the whole multi-day event.

Hey Jon -

I got a few of your car.






We shot about 30 hours of video on 3 cameras, including the gopro fender cam and the lipstick "in car" cam, and should have the footage edited and up this week. I'll post a link as soon as its up.

Awesome! If you have any video of MotiV8r and it hits the cutting room floor I would love to have it. I didn't get a single shot or video over the weekend of it.

I need to delete my old account with the name: streetworkxs

I keep accidently logging into that one, which is why i edited my post. But next time i want to try the course, and maybe bring my car out once its done! any videos yet?

[86regalss]

i'd probably just do a one day thing if there is one. I live really close. but I need some bigger wheels, and nicer tires before i do try autocross. 17''s hopefully.

This is the only video I've seen so far... I know David Pozzi took a bunch.

Hi guys!
Just got home and Mary is hogging my computer! Will upload some videos when she let's me back on it!

[David Pozzi]

Here's a 29.3 second run in Bad Penny, - Mary driving.

This is James in the One Lap Camaro. This car is very close, just needs a tweak or two and it will fly.
After spending a couple of minutes under this car on the lift, I am truly amazed at how nice it is from top to bottom. This car could win trophys even flipped upside down!


If you want to have some fun, play both of these videos at the same time!

Mary is sooooooooooooooo Smooooooooooooth! I could watch that video all day.

Was that K-Wall as close as it looked to the course. It looked scary close on the far bend with that camera angle. That's something seeing cars of this caliber on course competing.

Thanks for the viewing tip of both at once. It really shows where time is lost. Super Kool!
