Chevellabration 2009 Autocross
I got 1st place in the Chevellabration autocross. It was my first time driving the car through the cones and it showed me she needs some suspension tuning and the driver needs practice. I didn't have time to replace the rear tires (Nitto 555R drag radials) so I'm sure that had some to do with it, but it was understeering bad. Thanks to Kyle and the crew at DSE for sponsoring the event and giving me a $200 gift card for winning.
The primer black car is mine BTW.

Good job and nice pics. I went to my first autocross last weekend. I used my nitto drag radials and they performed well. I also had some understeer, noticed it when I really pushed it but I couldn't get it to oversteer at all.

Congrats!
Nice wagon pics too!
Obviously, autocrossing Chevelle wagons is the next huge trend, and once again, I'm all over it...Scott Parkhurst

Mike, congratulations on the cone victory...and getting it all together in time to do it. It sounded like it was a little touch and go there for a bit. I'm diggin' the primer black and steelies by the way.
