well its that time of the year again where TRSCCA and Air Ride Technologies team up with Goodguys Car Show in downtown Nashville for an autocross for the classic car guys, i volunteered to shag cones, but all i really did was take pictures!

They had us set up next to the walkway bridge and we had huge crowds all weekend, here u can see the famous TRSCCA short bus manned by the short bus pro Andrew Cowden
Image
Image
Image

The fastest car of the weekend was the Detroit Speed Camaro, soooooo fast and my favorite from the autox
Image
Image
Image
Image


The next fastest car was the Air Ride Technologies Mustang, Andrew's Favorite
U may remember this car from last year
Image
this thing is so crazy it has a nascar transmission and a $9000 carbon clutch!
so hawt
Image
Image
Image
Image

The Air Ride guys also brought out some of their other cars...
here is bright orange "velocity" camaro, i love the front end
Image
Image
Image

a sweet GTO convertible
Image

a 65 chevelle
Image

and a sweet camaro
Image

this chevelle was built by Air Ride for a giveway car at the next goodguys in Ohio, i heard the owner of Air Ride loves this car!
Image

of the other cars that ran the autox (anyone with a car in the show could for free) the biggest battle was in the oldest car class with these two machines battling it out till the very last run!

this supercharged 6 cylinder ended up winning
Image

with this 30s ford 2nd
Image

probably the craziest car of the weekend was this 50s ford longbed with a 5.0, skinny front/big rear tires, and the perfect pants
Image

a little blurry but a great shot!
Image

this camaro was sporting a huge and loud procharger supercharger
Image

Special thanks to the guys at Air Ride for helping put on another great event at Nashville. They brought out no less than 7 cars out. BJ from Air Rides did a great job announcing (better that I do). I was really ruiting for Zach in the 61 F100 (with a 32v Cobra motor) to get 2nd place, and he almost had it.

Most all of those look great... but TONS of body roll! :shock:

Maybe someone should let them know swaybars are good. :lol:

considering the weight of some of those rides.. the bodyroll isn't all that bad.

i guarantee that a good portion of the cars that we have at drift events would roll as much as those hot rods if they were on 'decent' tires running grip-style.
