1971 GMC 1500 Pickup Autocross

My second run at the Goodguys Summer Get-Together, June 5, 2010. Best run was 37.999 seconds. Hit two cones for a final adjusted time of 39.999 seconds. Not terrible for a stock stepside truck with 200hp, three people in it and a total auto-x n00b behind the wheel.

Where exactly was this? And were you the driver? Is that your truck? (Great steering, whoever it is.)

@dogman15 The description answers pretty much all of those questions. I was driving (they even announce my name at the beginning), and it took place at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton on June 5. The truck actually belongs to my dad. If you were at the Danville 4th of July Parade this year, you might have seen me driving it in the parade, decorated with streamers and huge flags with three girls riding in the back.

@PintoPopProductions: Darn. The one year I choose not to go to the parade...

Will you be at the Hot Summer Nights car show later this month? Or did you go to the first one at the beginning of the month?

[PintoPopProductions]

@dogman15 Yeah, I was at the first show.

You filmed me in my '63 Mercury the last time around in November.. Did you by any chance film me in my '66 Chrysler 300 this time around?

[PintoPopProductions]

@1972Lincoln Unfortunately, no, I didn't see you run. I only did two runs during the day, in the afternoon on Saturday. It was the last activity I did before I left the show. Did you happen to see the '87 El Camino crash? That was about 20 minutes before my first run. The only other run I filmed was a black Pontiac G8 around 9am. Had I not been in line to participate in the afternoon, I would have been filming from the sidelines.

@PintoPopProductions:

Missed that too, even though I was there.
