Car does look amazing...
Thanks much!
Rear seats are long gone with full GT carpet package back there. The BBI bars tie into shock top mounts so quite the jungle gym for sure! I do have a few young kids who will get back there with a vacuum hose if needed, but they are expensive.

Children are good for such things...

Car looks awesome!

Autocross. Not a bad day with 14 runs and wonderful 70 degree weather.

I think could have found more time at the left after the crest at about 1/3 in and then again after the crest at the left into the stop chute. For the latter I should have swung wider right and carried more speed into the stop chute at a straighter angle. I do not think I could have gone any fast through the chicago box but I could have probably carried more throttle over the crest right before it.

It did, through the 60hz hum as I ran it through the gears...

14 runs - the last time I went to an autocross event I think I was lucky to get 2...

Nicely done!

It doesn't do that every time you drive it?

Yeah, but this time it seemed a little more eager; probably due to the fact I'd been cheating on it with a Chevy Malibu for the last three weeks that had an anemic turbocharged 4 cylinder in it...
