Couple of fun updates.
Super Chevy published some inital info on the 2014 Super Chevy Handling Challenge. My car was their reprsenting TCI enginnering's front Camaro subframe and rear 12bolt based torque arm.

I'm looking forward to the full articles. And I can't wait to go abuse my car on a full road course again. I'm eyeing the Extreme speed event at SOWS 11/15-16 if I can get my oil lines redone this weekend.
I also attended the NMCA West Hotchkis Autocross event this past weekend. this is first time I've had to really try out the car. My previous trips to Adam's have been rushed and mostly in the dark.
What a blast!! This car is so freeking fun to drive compared to my old setup! I now have to relearn the car because it can do things in a corner I've only been able to dream about before. I can't wait to learn more behind the wheel and also about shock tuning. It really helps that I can piggy back off of years of development Sal has put into his car.
Speaking of Sal. It made the event really fun to have both of our Torch Red 68 Camaros TCI equiped fighting it out. I've got more power but he's got more seat time and I think bigger cajones.
Sal set a faster lap time than me both Saturday and Sunday but I closed the gap Sunday
and lost by only a tenth. I ran in a session before Sal so he knew the time he had to beat so it was a lot of fun watching him drive his ass off to make sure he beat me including a spectacular spin on his last run.
Here is another shot of my car in action.
EDIT: Need to resize this one.
In the classic Muscle class I finished 3rd Saturday and 4th Sunday.
Sunday had a better turn out in that class too. It was great catching up with and watching some of the other Lat-G members drive too. The format of the event using run groups with multiple laps per run group instead of cycling through all cars in order was awesome. Gave you time to make changes to the car, relax, chat with folks, etc.
So while the overall number of laps was lower than I liked (8 Saturday, 7 Sunday) I really enjoyed the event.
I didn't get great video as this was my first time using HLT at an autocross but will try and post some up later.
