Chad, that video did not make me look good 
Nick is planning an autocross sometime in the near (I hope) future.
This meet was.....educational at the very least.
I learned that well-worn F1s on cold pavement do not make for very good drag racing. I modulated clutch slip from a roll, minimizing wheel hop, only to get generous helpings of it on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Then of course on my second run forgetting to turn of TC... |

I'd love to see how my S Class would stack up against Tanner's Coupe deVille and Brian's Brougham in an Autox course.

So, would that be like, the boat-float class?  |

My dad was laughing his ass off at the comment under the van race video of the "Econobeast". |

Looks like a good time! Maybe next year I will be able to come.
I hope you take an aspirin a day if you always eat like that!
15.33 for the Brougham is great, especially with that mileage. Nice work. With a few bolt ons you will be running with the rest of the 14 second pack. |

Good lord no, I don't eat like that daily. I don't have enough Advil to allow me to live like that.

What kind of times do you get out your Brougham. I really loved Brians Brougham. The LT1 is pretty easy to work on also isnt it? Lots of mods for the engine also yes?
Just thinking about the future.......
