Wow, what an event.. some complementary pics inside
I'm beat, but it was worth it!
Seriously, technically I was working but it's hard to consider beating on my car and hanging out with out car nuts "work".
Everything went great, the ship out there went good and Lane Automotive really helped me by taking care of my car (although the rope stantions were a bit much.. lol)
They also put on a hell of an event. We dodged a monsoon and the weather on Saturday and Sunday was perfect.
Road Track: Went well, poor Penny was really punished since I would take her out and then bring her in so David could beat on her for a while. My driving was good but my line sucked, I need some schooling. We discovered that our Bilstiens, that were valved for how the car was at optima, are no longer 'right' for the car and we had some skittering (needs more rebound). So, adjustable shocks just went on the menu. Also, the BP20 pads that are great on the street and the autocross got cooked on the track after running so many sessions.
Autocross: She did great, couldn't ask for anymore. The brakes were still sluggish but that just meant you needed to punch them harder. Steering was great and the car felt very smooth and settled.
The top five times (with the out of spec cars removed)
These are from my notes.. don't consider them official.
David Pozzi - bad penny - 29.367
Kyle Tucker - DSE Second Gen - 29.387
Ryan Mathews - DSE First Gen - 30.663
Steven Rupp - bad penny - 30.698
Jake Parrot - 69 Camaro - 30.776
What a blast! It was really great seeing everyone and I enjoyed the change of sceanery. Except the bad weather!
Great event, great people and great cars.. who could ask for more?
Thanks to Lane Automotive for making this happen and to all the sponsors that stepped up.
Look for full event coverage in a future issue of CAMARO PERFORMERS Magazine!!

You'll have a long wait for PHR... they don't seem interested in these events (this, RTTH) since I left. Go figure.

I have to say Steve, the more your behind the wheel, your becoming a really good autocross driver. Those tips from Dave and Mari Possi are really paying off. Tell Nick to take more pictures so you can drive more. Oops, that's your day job, maybe not....lol

Hey, we got some great in-car video.. in one you're chasing the DSE second gen.
Much more interesting when there's another car in the frame.
Look at the Racepak data yet?
Using my iPod accelerometer download we did (at the autocross) peak g numbers of 1.24 left / 1.23 right / 1.18 acceleration & 1.07 deceleration"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Hey Steve, Originally Posted by Steve1968LS2

I thought in past P-T.com events (like RTTH, etc) you had to compete with tires with a UTQG rating of 180 or higher to be "in-spec" and eligible for the accolades...
So, has someone lowered that number to include R888 (100-rating) as being "in-spec" now?
The reason I ask is I want to buy tires for my Bug that will make it eligible for these events but at the same time buy as sticky tires as I can and get as MUCH traction from my tires as possible...
By the way, VERY NICE pictures!!! It looks like you guys had a blast!!Ray
