I've uploaded my fastest run from GLHS 207 (The black Omni with no stickers and CSXT wheels). I'm hoping somebody got some exterior video and/or pics, as this car seems to be like a sasquatch of autox events.
Some day I'll listen to Johnny and buy a rear sway bar and some wide wheels/tires. Until then, I'm sporting it 1988 style!

I posted a vid on the SDAC Facebook page. I'll upload it and get it posted here
Nice job out there Clark!

Congrats again! I got over 50 pics of your car at the AutoX, and most of them are useable. For those that didn't know, I was the guy walking around with the camera that had a giant white lens attached to it... I sponsored a glossy print up to 24"x14" for each of the major event winners (Best in Show, AutoX, and Quick 8). It was kind of a last minute thing, so it wasn't really advertised. As winner of the AutoX, Clark gets to pick which one he wants. I got several pics of all the other cars that ran too. I'll post a link to them when I've finished processing them and have them all uploaded.
I ended up using 35 out of the over 50 of Clark's Omni GLHS, here they are: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/j...lleryid=439780
The rest of the AutoX pics are going to take me a while to go through, I took over 1000!
Here are a couple videos I took..

Ha! I totally missed that cone getting hit... Here I was thinking it was pretty impressive that no cones were harmed all day.

Your driving wasn't too bad yourself. You had the classic P body oversteer-on-braking going on into that final turn. I had no idea if I'd be able to catch you or not. The guy with the black Spirit ES was also hauling some serious ---. I'm sure there's no way I could have kept up with him in my R/T.
What turbo do you guys use for this type of racing?

I go an Album for Group 1 of the AutoX started. At least one picture of each car's run from Group 1 is up. Unfortunately I didn't get very good shots of the 1st run. Dancing around my tripod just didn't work out. It wasn't until I took it off the tripod and climbed up into the tree stand towards the end of their 2nd run that I started getting some really good shots (coming soon). I did however manage to catch the "Silver Bullet" on 3 wheels on the last turn of it's 1st run.
Going to work on Group 2's 1st run now, which should be better 'cause I was in the tree by then.
My GLHS has the stock engine and ECM. The key to making it turn is the Torsen differential (a520 trans). In my class, the Neon SRT4 ACR's usually beat me due to the increased torque and better turbo response (and superior driving).
Aftermarket for me, but as you can see with Clark's run, that isn't necessary. You want good power in 2nd and good tires.

There are a few tires that seem to do better than others. If you want to win nationals, you need to run Hoosier A6's. There are a number of street tires that are nearly as good as the Kumho V710's I was running. One of them is the BFG Gforce Rival. Hankook RS3's are good, as well as a few other tires. One thing that makes a HUGE difference is running tires that are less than 2-3 years old (since the first heat cycle). The Kumho Ecsta XS's on my GTS were as good as my V710 slicks when new, but after 3 years they were almost like driving on rocks.
Do you have a part number for the Torsen LSD?
The drivetrain in the GLH just won't die, but when it does I have a TII engine and 520 trans waiting.
The other thing it needs are some better tires.
Suspension tweaks are in the works.
