Super Chevy Show Las Vegas - Road Trip

Bill Chin and Lisa Severy weren't afraid to push this '95 fourth-gen to the limits. Powered by a 383ci stroker LT4 and outfitted with a complete Global West Suspension, Bill drove his way to a 38.95, while his co-pilot managed to stop the clocks with a 38.79.

Backed by Global West Suspension, Camaro Performers editor Nick Licata drove his '01 Camaro to a blazingly quick 39.10. Even so, he kept his eyes trained on Mary Pozzi's lines to see if he could edge her out. We did hear Mary was more than willing to share the final corner secrets with him-after the event.

If this '72 Nova looks familiar, it's because we followed along as Terry and David Stoker dropped in a 5.3L LS powerplant. They haven't addressed the suspension yet, but that didn't stop the pair from throttling it around the course. Their best time of the day came in at 48.98.

TCI Engineering was a serious contender with their '67 Camaro. We're not sure who's driving the car in this shot, but this is the ride Mary Pozzi took top honors in, running 37.09 and ultimately taking the Overall Quickest and Open Class title of the weekend.

John Barkley and his '74 Stepside proved that trucks are more than capable of handling cornering duties. The small-block 327ci powered C10 ran a best of 44.89 with a complete Classic Performance Products package, including a 4-/6-inch flip kit, drop spindles, tubular A-arms, and 2-inch front drop springs. During Friday night's test-and-tune, John had minor jetting issues, but still went through the big end with a 15.1 at 89 mph.

Greg Hubbs took the novice class with a 40.99 in his '02 Monte Carlo. Powered by a turbo packing 3.8L V-6, Greg was a real crowd pleaser with his wild, smoky tire antics through the corners.

Taking the win in the Ladies class was Deanna Marengo in her Hotchkis equipped '67 Chevelle with a 39.91. Word is, Deanna just got into the sport a little over a year ago. We'd say she's doing a mighty fine job.

There's something to be said for driving 300 miles and autocrossing all day on a single tank of gas! While this was our first experience at any real timed event, we managed to whittle ours down to 40.56 by the end of the weekend. Of course, we wanted to see what a multi-national SCCA champion could churn out in our modern-day hot rod; with hardly any seat time, Mary utterly amazed us with a 38.73.

Tom Foglesong and his first-gen really caught our attention while running through the course. The subtle looking '67 Camaro features a 5.3L LS mill underneath the flat hood, complete Hotchkis suspension, and a good set of Michelin rubber on old-school third-gen rollers.
