2011$ Grassroots Motorsports Challenge - We Won! - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Placeholder for the whole story, but we can start with a little background.

Last year synopsis: Finished 7th in autocross, 2 seconds back (owch!), did decent in concours and blew up at the drags.

This year: We test more, apply a new theme (not flat black) and go back...and win autocross overall, 7th in concours and with rain on the drags not everyone got a run, so the drag scores were thrown out and we ended up first overall. I helped with the build and am the autocross driver.

First up, if you are just THAT bored, here is last year: http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch166.htm

Pre-event test for the car just a few weeks ago: http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch187.htm

WDMS writeup on the event is coming...

F-body content: Our car has a 4th gen V6T5 and a clutch res from an Fbody (I think). Also, there were a few f-bodies at the event including the Concours winner, a gorgeous red firebird with flames to checkerboard paint job and an LT1 auto spraying a 150 shot.

Costas
cars and such...

It was great meeting you. For those who remember me I posted a while back about entering the Challenge. We ended up third in our '94 Trans Am behind the Vorshlag crew and Andy Nelson in his SBC powered VW. I'd like to thank rmackintosh for the optisparks and NJ Speeder for getting me hooked up with njfboa. It was a great event. Look for a feature on our car in an upcoming issue of GRM.
