Here's Fast Fred Switzer from Clemson, SC in a SPEC E30 ... first time hillclimber!

He REALLY laid it down out there... I think we'll see him again... Oh yeah!

I took over 300 photos from different spots on the course. Please head over to wp.me/p2125x-3B (Steven Kornhaus Photography) to check them out. I posted a few videos on my facebook timeline as well.

We had fun helping out, nice to see you folks again.

[tedebayer]

NICE SHOTS... THANKS MAN! We appreciate coming... plan on coming back in the fall. We'll give you a few more things to aim that camera at...

[oldgiracer]

Fabulous pictures, are you going to sell any of them?

[maxxhavoc]

No problem. Drivers/Sponsors/SCCA/Southern Driver can do whatever they want with 'em.

Just remember to get some more shots of us in the Alltrac next time you're at Sandblast...

[tedebayer]

Thanks man! Appreciate it! While we are on the topic, put a picture of your car up on this forum so they can keep an eye out for it. PLEASE.

I'd really like to see his car going up the hill September 29 & 30! Beautiful machine...

Thanks man!

[maxxhavoc]

You've been to CMP... you should be INTIMATELY familiar with it! Pretty sure there's still enough to make a small castle with in the footwells of my car.

First off, all pics you see here should/will be on www.aforwardmotion.com/.

Here is a video that my buddy took of the Locost in #10/11:


Here are the highlights of my pictures:

This is Turn 10 right before the Fiero wrecked. See the crazy positive camber on the right rear? I think a mechanical failure caused this crash.

If you want more pictures, I may have some--just e-mail me.

Thanks to CCRSCCA for a great event! I really enjoyed getting to watch/photograph all the particpants, the event ran smoothly (I think the downtime for the Fiero was <30 mins), and all the workers I talked to were really cool.

WICKED AWESOME! You guys ROCK! I should never have watched this at bed time... it's going to be a while before I can get to sleep now!

[e30racer]

Sorry about that Ted! Sweet dreams of tire shredding, fuel burning, wide eyed FUN!!!

[andytow]

A great time this past weekend. Many thanks to Ted, all the workers, the City of Robbinsville and all who helped put this event on!

Thanks Andy... nice driving! We appreciate you folks coming up!

Best of luck getting us back on a hill in Alabama.

OK, here is some of my in-car;

Timed Run #2 Sat - best time (139.019) . . the torque band of the mighty SBC is pretty broad, but a few of these chutes were begging for fourth gear . . . note the tail waggle at Ray Marsh's station right before the Zig Zag . .



. . fourth gear was rediscovered by Sunday morning, but the tired old tail rubber finally got out from under me in the Zig Zag lefty on Timed Run #4

[tedebayer]

THAT really makes me smile...

Once again, I "boneheaded" it and didn't get a single video at CtD from my in-car. I REALLY wish that I had gotten a picture of my first run. See, my cats live in the garage when I'm not home. They love to relax in the racecar and shed A LOT! As I got into third gear and the wind started moving around inside the car, I found myself in a vortex of flying cat fur. There was so much fur that I was grabbing it out of the air with my left and and throwing it out of the window as I went around the course. Had I gotten video, I think I could've been a contender for the $10K price from AFV.
