Hotchkis

The H-Team track day at Willow Springs last Wednesday was a huge success. Several magazines came out to get numbers and do some track testing, and the crew from The Car Show on SPEED was on hand at the big track to do a muscle car segment for an upcoming episode. Our H-Team cars were running in top form, and our drivers are getting faster than ever! We’ll have an official video up soon, in the meantime here are a few updates:

Michael Heinz brought out his stunning Grabber Blue 5.0 Mustang, complete with a new RTR body kit and wheels, Hotchkis TVS suspension, Magnusson supercharger and more. Michael is a heck of a guy and is willing to let just about anyone drive his car, even Adam Carolla, host of The Car Show. Unfortunately, Adam got a little crossed up on the track and went-off road, but is taking care of the damage. You can hear the whole story here on his podcast, or look for a future episode of the Car Show on SPEED



Mike Hickman brought out the newly rebuilt project G-10 pickup, complete with an all new Hotchkis C10 TVS, GM Perf. Parts E-Rod crate engine, 4L65E transmission with TCI paddle shifters, Rushforth wheels and Falken Azenis tires. This truck was incredibly fast, outrunning nearly everything else on the track including several super cars! Mike produced his own video, here it is:

Rob & Trish Byrd brought out their his and hers 5th Gen Camaros. Rob has become quite fast in his Hotchkis Track Pack equipped coupe with BBS Wheels, and Trish logged track time in her new convertible, which we used for R&D when designing the new Hotchkis Camaro Total Vehicle System. Both of these fantastic people are getting REALLY fast, and after spending some seat time with John, Trish got even faster! Here’s a video Rob put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iYDV7GUYEk




Overall it was a fantastic day, full of fast laps, excitement and lots of timed testing. Thanks to all for attending, and don’t forget to join the H-Team if you want to be part of the fun!
