Sacramento chapter SCCA autocross is in full swing.We are eight races done of twelve total. I have run 7 of the 8, and have 7 wins. So far, so good. I think I can add a link to some on-board videos. These are from round 8 at Stockton fairgrounds. The 2nd pass is my best for the day. https://youtu.be/w4jZOrseNuI Thanks for looking.

Rick -- T/Anks for sharing the videos... I wish you continued success!

What is the SCCA class you're running in? CAM-T? or E/SP? other?

Just curious, prior to the Dart, did you have any autocross experience?

Yes, I did an occasional Autocross prior to the last couple of years in the Dart. All front wheel drive cars; Shelby Charger, Omni GLH and a turbo LeBaron. And thanks guys for the compliments. Hey Tom! have you been out with the Z06?

Rick it took a little time to get used to it, I mean it's no 67 Valiant. I finished 2nd at the CAM Challenge CA but coned away FTOD. I did have one good day, winning the Hotchkis cup at their last event. But ultimately, I miss the old cars and enjoy trying to make them do stuff they were never intended to do, it's the challenge I love, so I just sold the Vette to a fellow local racer...

You know it's funny, that was Sunday, on Saturday I was racing it in my Valiant tee! A fellow forum member in the Bay Area has the Valiant now, I'm hoping he races it soon...

The purple Valiant is getting a horsepower transplant. The 300hp 360 is being replaced by a 380hp 360. Joe is swapping engines with a friend of mine.

'67 is an abbreviation of 1967
67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet
They are not interchangeable.

If you mean the "Red Brick", I talked with that guy in Cupertino in June. He didn't mention any plans to sell it then.
I wonder what changed?
