BG is about 30 mins from me. I'll probably be in my shop working but if a few folks are going, I may check it out. I went a few years back. Eric Miller had his ultra 4 buggy in the PAC booth. Pretty sure it was his first "production" chassis. They let him have a few rips around the short course.

Anyone from here go to LS Fest "East"? We did not end up making the trip up to watch.

Yep..headed down , got to watch some qualifying but the rain shut it down on Sunday. My coworkers brother owns and drives the blue Camaro you see all over UTube totued as being the fasted F body manual trans car in the world and I wanted to support him.

He had some troubles working out the bugs on his new TSP 427 & huge single turbo..did pull of his best pass ever @ 7.98 on a shitty track.

I watched a Cleetus McFarland video on the YouTubes and it showed Cleetus up against your buddies Camaro. Camaro red lit on that run (shown at 14:54) but had heard mention of his 7.98 earlier in the day.

Leroy Takes on LS Fest 2018! His New Engine is INSANELY Fast!

The video doesn't do it justice .. it still looks like a 11 second car with interior and most of the steel body. Ray runs a faceplated t56 and absolutely rows the gears!

Best part is the two step is scary loud.

That's really cool. Will have to look for more videos of that Camaro.

His name is Ray Bulach... super nice , low key guy. His in car video shows how he cuts the trans no slack.

Watching Cleetus' videos makes me feel for the Clutch/Trans combos. I know race Clutch/Trans are built for it but I still have mechanical sympathy for those items.
