oh damn. That ruined Mike's day. I knew Mike, great guy, was the manager of the NAS Miramar Auto Shop, until retirement. Then he fixed up this 6 cyl Mustang and had a lot of fun at autocross events. I've had a ride in it, it was amazing

happened at Good Guys Del Mar. 

in better days:

in the Hotchkis booth

 

how embarassing it is to see a car site screw up identifying an easy to recognize car like a classic Challenger. The Hotchkis E Max

Charger? Really? That's pathetic. Turn off your site and start blogging about buttons or quilts or something.

Old guys connecting with young guys while fixing up a Duster for SEMA, and during the build, learning a lot from each others generation

This awesome group is all about getting the local kids in their area into the car hobby and teaching them skills and work ethic.

Doing everything to finish it in time to go to CA to the Hotchkis Event at the Auto Club Speedway October 16th - 18th. The best part about it is that they will get to drive the car with the Hotchkis team coaching them the whole way through it and explaining to them why the car is performing the way it does.

the largest all-GM car show in the country, the Chevrolet Performance Nationals in Georgia on May 29-31, is hosting the Hotchkis Autocross Series

all weekend long you can get your car on the track at the Hotchkis Autocross events (if you pre-register) I'm not sure about show up and register though (check with Hotchkis.net)

4 doors, 2 doors, trucks or cars... it's not limited.

327 or 427, one color suits both Camaros

If you miss this opportunity, catch the next one and have some fun

still enjoying his high school car, a '69 Charger.. .. over 20 years later, with his wife and daughter, at the track

It came from the factory with a 318 and air conditioning, and now is running a 340. Power steering, manual brakes, but at least there are discs up front.

Over 20 years of keeping his Charger on the road, and now that Hotchkis has this autocross event a couple times a year at Fontana, he can really enjoy it as Mopar intended!

1st generation Viper was getting some track time today, you don't see that often

This is terrific, people are getting 70's, 80's, and 90's sports cars out of the drive ways and onto the autocross to enjoy them as they were designed to be used

Credit has to got to John  Hotchkis for inspiring people to go have fun on a track with their old beasts

the little engine that could is in a 63 or 64 Corvette

Since the factory only put two tail lights per side, why does this have 3? The song "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean lyric "and all the Jag could see were my 6 tail lights" inspired a lot of people to have a extra pair added.

Now that is one explanation, the other, is that the factory experimental Makos had 3 installed per side from 1959 to 1961

"Can you hear me now" is pretty funny... as that looks like where some exhaust cut out dumps and frees up 10-15 horsepower instead of going out the muffler

that they used masking tape for numbers is a travesty

Hotchkis had a sweet couple of muscle cars in their booth this year

Cool cars at the Hotchkis Autocross today
