There were 21 CAM-S drivers on Saturday at the American Autocross Series. One driver was a Cobra and the rest were a field of C3, C4, C5, & C6 Corvettes. This was a great turn out of CAM-S drivers and cars. Great times and competition.

That was a great event. Carrie and I had a lot of fun out there and I am happy with the results. I'll take a 5th place (out of ~160 drivers) PAX finish overall, especially since our car typically hates concrete and tight slaloms. I wish Scott and Bruce had the Cobra so I could compare times against it instead of them driving the GT3.

We will try and make it out to a couple more AAS events this year. It's always a good time and a great group of drivers.

I took eighth. Hell yes, the C4 can be competitive. I just need to figure out the spring and shock package with the BFG Rival S tires. I've been on R compound tires for the last 30 years and I only have about 5 events on the Rivals and I am trying to learn on how to drive on street tires.

Sounds great, I'm guessing you are running rival-s 315 square?

315s on an 11 inch wheel for the front and a 335 on a 12 1/2 inch wheel for the rear.

I do too because, I didn't suck as bad as Saturday. With a little help from my son-in-law with the shocks, I was able to drive the car better on Sunday. I'm still trying to figure out the right shock and spring package and learn how to drive on street tires at the same time. I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks.

I'm in the same boat. It's been over a year (and MANY changes to the car) since I've driven it. I finally got it figured out on Sunday, thank goodness. Glad the car handled better for you on Sun.

We just ran a Great Lakes SCCA Regional event this past weekend. We ran the 91 on Sat and ran Bridgetone Re71r's. It was wet. I was surprised that they handled as well as they did. We ran a 285/18 square set up. I did not make any adjustments except with air pressure vs running A7's. Here is a run of my co driver which was a dry run. Came in 2nd in SSM; .8 seconds behind a wicked C5 running A7's.
