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 Pre-event onboard vid: http://vimeo.com/29884138 Pre-event photos and a vid from Vorshlag: http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Racing-Events/...7230663_BptXKm8 EVENT FOLDER AT VORSHLAG (you'd better have some time on your hands....) : http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Racing-Events/...7634785_d3PBmv4 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... |

That picture is getting framed. Absolutely. My wife likes it because you can see my wedding band. No women throwing themselves at me because I'm famous. Lol.
I haven't decided if pops and I will run $2012. I feel like my car is a one trick pony. In other words, what do I do for an encore? Mabe I'll make it ugly like a barn find. I have been looking at third gens, too. I just so happen to have an LT1 T56 in a wrecked Z28 that I scored for $700 that will fit just perfect in one.We'll see. I'm sure Condor will be back. Those guys are great. They built that car in a month. Needs more LSx though. |

I have been looking at third gens, too. I have a um...shell for sale. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (not quite the right approach for the challenge...but maybe). |

Parts cars are the name of the game because you can sell off stuff to recoup budget. I appreciate the offer though. |
