His lame excuse was he weighed the car with him in it.... Pretty much talked and showed the same competitors from last year. I hope Toms Valiant gets some respect in October.


We were at Thunderhill this year. Also were at the Optima Challenge in '12, Laguna Seca and Portland last year. Thunderhill was the first time since '12 that another Mopar showed up. Pretty sad. I watched the show also, marginal at best. Maybe I am biased as we rarely get any TV time for as unique of car we bring out. We even finished in the top ten in the autoX for the GTV class. Its a good time none the less.
