Looking at these photos, there's no way I could have gone as quick as I did without those ridetech triples. Getting the weight off the front and onto the rear coming out of the corners was mandatory for best traction and without a bump adjustment, I'd have been struggling on this particular course. Seeing the photographs tells me a lot about the suspension and handling.
The car is coming together and more about these shocks to come ...

better to look like a water strider than a stink bug or even worst an ant eater. Im curious to see what your anti squat numbers are. Originally Posted by mpozzi

Thanks Mary..... Lots of coaching from your corner reduces the learning curve. I couldn't have picked a better group to hang out with.

Right back at you Brett. I'll have to hit you up for that ride next time - your car does awesome out there on the track and looked like you were having a ton of fun!
That reminds me.... I really must lock my car up better at these shows. People will just come and help themselves to your stuff when you're not watching! Appreciate any help identifing these two individuals to the authorities

Only adjustment I made all weekend was for shocks and tire pressures until they stayed put. The track surface was extremely slippery due to being 1) partially under water the day before, 2) recently slurry sealed, and 3) next to the ocean so all that water also held sand. It took about four hours before the track came to us. Originally Posted by MrQuick

What's funny is I drove the Camaro from the Fairgrounds to the trailer each night (about two miles each way) and forgot to stiffen bump and rebound. Damn car felt like a waterbed ...
Love the adjustability of the Hotchkis three-link and we've got the static base adjustments pretty much set.

Yea, I forgot to put air in my tires before driving the 30 miles to BOS.. man, 23/24 air pressure makes for a wierd and mushy ride on the freeway.

Want to thank Mary & Dave for taking the JCG 68 Camaro around the Autocross a few times & giving us feedback on what adjustments we need to make on the car for future events!
Here is a pic of the ever so famous Mr Renner trying to get me thru the Autocross!
