      David and I running almost the same 8.70's et's at the strip. I think David did 50 burnouts during the weekend!!



      Me trying the autocross with a manual steering Camaro. I had the worst looking car at the event, but at least I finally got to participate!

      Again thanks to all that put on the event,I had a great time.

      First of all I want to thank everyone associated with putting this together.The hospitality shown by David and his family was greatly appreciated.The work that Jeff and his wife put in,along with Bill and his crew,I'm sure I'm forgetting someone,but Thanks so much.

      That was the most fun I had in along time.Never autocrossed before,didn't know what the hell I was doing,but man was that fun.Can't wait to do that again.

      My car was not really test,been down the road 2 blocks and was put on the trailer headed for Georgia.All the junk parts held up pretty well,accept the Muncie.Lost 2nd gear drag day on its first past,kept jamming in 2nd every pass after that.I must have made 25 passes trying to figure it out.Was having so much fun I didn't care.

      Here is a link to the pics I took http://57hemicuda.smugmug.com/galler...40044201_gAgqU

      I was trying to think of something witty to say, to rag on poor Payton about his hood, but didn't have the heart. Ron

      question to Andrew

      The drag strip action was very frustrating. I think when they prepped the track they must have grabbed the WD40 spray bottle instead of the VHT. The track hooked worse than the street! I managed to slide my way to a 8.44 @ 94MPH with a 2.1 60' time. On an 1/8 mile track it is all about the launch. Many cars had the potential to beat my time, but it didn't happen. Ron hot lapped his lightweight Mustang and got a 8.5x pass. Payton's yellow 69 Camaro trapped over 100 mph! That is hauling a$$.

      On the autocross we all managed to get in 4 laps before the rain stopped the fun. As I recall my last 3 laps were all in the 30.0x second range. Mark's ran the best lap of the day with a 27.8x lap. That car is very cool with its modern driveline, extensive body mods, and IRS from a Nissan 350Z. Well done!

      I hope this trend of smaller regional events catches on. I would love to see smaller gatherings being organized all around the country. Groups of fewer than 20 cars are relatively easy to manage and accommodate.

      Here are a few more photos from Sunday's autocross event. Everyone was able to get in a few laps before the rain came.

      Thank you so much for all the pics you guys! Thanks to all of you that came out you made my week end.

      I got a good story about Ron S an the Mustang.
      They pulled in to the shop parking lot Fri. before lunch, Pulled the mustang off the trailer an Ron holds up a pair of wires pulls them apart an the car goes dead.
      We all got a good chuckle an they went about wiring a key switch up. Did i tell you how much i like that car.
      Thanks Ron for a good time!!
      I think that this was the best week end I have had with out a car running.
      Thanks to all!!

      If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

      Ron

      Go ahead and ride my ass. It is OSHA approved and even has handles.

      You know it is always going to be something with me. I am starting to develope a reputation...and it is not a good one.

      I enjoyed your stories and BS'ing at the hotel.
      How is your new dog?

      Jeff, sorry you did not get to drive my car at the auto cross. We can try again at RTTH.

      Payton, what exhaust are you running on the camaro? The vids I took don't do the sound justice......same thing with the Cuda and the light-blue road-race Mustang, anybody know what exhaust system they were running?

      After Yancey drove my Camaro with stock "buckets" on the autocross, he said, "Jim, you'd pick up a second a lap if you had some seats"!

      I believe the cuda was running Borla

      Ron made his own for the mustang as nothing else would fit
