      Camaro Performers - 8 Pages

      Thanks to Steve and Nick for the 8 pages of coverage for RTTC 1. That was an awesome week and this just brought back all the memories and fun. Bill, Yancy and I appreciate the coverage and look forward to RTTC 2

      With Steve's pics of my mug and the tire carnage I did my fair share of uglying up such a great magazine.

      No, I think I get the award for ruling the carnage section of the article. Yes! I just had this 'gut' feeling I'd make an appearance there. I'm also exceptionally happy they were able to add to my glamour by mentioning my horrid road course time and leaving out the fairly respectable Autocross time I turned in given only 1 timed run before the rod bearing totally gave out. When you stick 'em with that rusty knife be sure to twist it a bit. Thanks!

      The rest of the article rocked though and it was great to see all the members' rides there. Congrats to all of you who got shots of your cars in action! Great stuff!

      I could only put the times they gave me.. sadly they didn't give me an autocross time for you.

      I would have ran an action shot but the only image I had was in the pits.. you sound upset, but I didn't want to leave you out of the story.. :shrug:

      To everyone.. missed this thread somehow.

      Glad most of you liked the coverage and thanks for making my job easier by beating on your cars.

      I had a rule that every Camaro being ran gets covered and with that many Camaros it was tough but they all got in...

      Well that's unfortunate they didn't provide you with an Autocross time for me because it's certainly there in the 'RTTC Official Results' thread. As for the photo, I guess next time I'll make my 4 laps on the road course and 2 runs on the Autocross after Doug Renner instead of before, and maybe the camera that was used to shoot him on the Autocross will still be in position for me! I guess my bad luck at the event(engine, official results, photos) had multiple personalities.

      Yah, I'm still upset that my new GM crate motor died on me after 2000 miles and I didn't get to finish the event, do the parade lap, and hang out at the BBQ afterwards. Can you tell? LOL. Oh well, there's always next year, or other hobbies. Surfing was so much cheaper. LOL

      As I said, it was a great article Steve and it was great to see how you featured all the other members' Camaros the way you did. Awesome job!

      Sorry, your auto-x wasn't on my list.. Carl didn't have road course times listed either even though I saw him run. :shrug:

      I wasn't shooting your group.. kind of hard to be everywhere all the time. The shot I have of your car and Dougs came from someone else. Still, it's not like you got bad photo.. it just wasn't an action shot.

      Well, like I said, I guess my luck was running really bad in many aspects for that event but I hope to have better luck next year.

      And it will be nice to see Bad Penny out there running too. It's kinda strange seeing these articles and results without her included.

      The coverage was great. I can't wait for next year. I'm already working on some things that added a few seconds to every event I ran.

      After that it's time to get working on the amateur driver.
