Almost forgot! Good Job as always Karlton...loooks like the threat from the 04 Evo wasn't enough. It was good to see lots of STU competitors for you to compete against.

Oh, thanks Glen. Props to a bunch of people, really. Gagan for giving me a few tips on set-up, all the peeps that ride along, and let's not forget Karlton for getting an amazing cross weights of like 50.2% and 49.8% or something, without scales, I might add... Haha.

Sorry I missed it. Was working on cleaning up the Impala SS for some upcoming car shows on Saturday...ended up being more work than I thought, so had to use Sunday as well.

On the upside, the car pretty much blings now

No dubs for me . Wheels are polished forged aluminum Forgeline RS's (17x9.5 front with 285/40R17, 17x11 rear with 315/35R17). Look like a "blingier" version of the stock SS wheels, not to mention there are a LOT lighter (19 lbs front and 23 lbs rear, versus 29 lbs for the cast 17x8.5 stockers).

First show is this coming Saturday in Rancho Cordova (other one is in St Louis MO the week/weekend after...car show, road race, autox...at the Impala SS national event).

I'll hopefully get some good pics of the car at the show this Saturday and get them uploaded to my Zenfolio account before I head to St Louis. I'm sure I'll get plenty of pics and racing video at St Louis

Gonna be a fun trip to the midwest, NOT looking forward to the bill for the diesel in the tow rig though!

Nice videos!! I'll study them closely. Haha.

Really, it is just nice to see the course again a few more times. Makes you think where you can cut some more time.
