I was up there today. Was a fun time. Bill is up there running the autocross sponsored by Jet Hot. Brad and Terri, Yancy, DSE camp, and Jet Hot are there. They start the autocross back up at 9am. Not sure how late they will be running it.

The DSE Nova was doing well also but I missed the time on the clock the one time I saw Kyle running it. I wanted to find out what kind on suspension the black 69 was running Originally Posted by RS_Customs

It wasn't the suspension making him so fast, I talked with Jake for awhile this weekend, he's raced GT3 Porsches for the last 6 years, he ran even faster times in DSE's Camaro. There were others in the 28's and 29's as well, Nick Lacata turned the fastest lap of the weekend in the DSE Camaro. Originally Posted by jeremy30thz

I heard that the black '69 had a Chris Alston's Chassiworks suspension that had been modified , tuned , and developed . Originally Posted by jeremy30thz

The black ’69 Camaro was built and is owned by Chassisworks dealer Bob Littlefield of Littlefield Customs in Charleston, RI. It is equipped with Chassisworks NoFab front clip and g-Link rear suspension with Varishock double adjustable coil-overs front and rear. There were no modifications to the Chassisworks components; everything is right off the shelf stuff that anyone can buy. This Camaro was built primarily as a show car. In fact, at the CHP Street Car Challenge it won 1st place for Camaro and Best of Show in the LSX category!
The car was completed on May 15th of 2012 and has only been driven in two competitive A/X events. Jake, the driver, had also never driven a muscle car before! Some shock tuning advice was supplied by another Chassisworks dealer, Mark Savtiske, however there was no factory involvement. In the DSE car, the driver equaled his best lap in the Littlefield car. We look forward to seeing how this Camaro will perform after it’s been fine tuned over the next several events!Carl Ogren - Sales and Tech

I`m very impressed with how well Bob`s black `69 is running out of the box, with just a little shock tuning. The car isn`t even broken in,it`s got a lot more in it yet. With all the luxurious show car leather, big stereo and dynamat etc. it`s no lightweight race car, which makes it all the more impressive. That speaks volumes for the Chassisworks suspension package.
