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.
