So, the 2007 Solo Nationals are halfway complete. Natalie and I took another hour of video today, more stuff to go through next week!  A quick summary of the day. Bud finally got a clean run today, so that made 1 out of his 6 runs in CS cone free. I ran what I thought was well but not well enough. I was in 9th at the beginning of the day, ...

Today was an interesting day. It started out dark, cold and wet, finished up bright sunny and almost hot. It rained last night a bit, so the course was wet this morning when we were walking first thing. I ran in CS today, the 5th car or so out in the 2nd heat on the West course. It started drizzling just as I was getting ready. Every run I took ...

It's 5:35, time to head to Heartland Park. Natalie showed up last night. I walked today's course 5 times yesterday, hope to get at least 2 more walks in this morning. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chammond/   Posted from SCCAForums.com

Good news for me! After taking a year off of Nationals in 2006 I'm once again headed to Topeka for a week in September! I registered this morning in CStock in a 2007 Pontiac Solstice! The Collins have asked me to codrive this year in Topeka, a great honor for me to be asked. Bud was also mentioned as a contender for the CS National Championship so ...

Buzz, 1992 Camaro that we are building to compete in American Sedan is approaching completion. I can't wait. I just got off of the phone with Dave at SPS and have a brand spankin' new set of yellow Koni's on the way. THANKS DAVE!!!!!!! Jim is almost done with the motor. The chassis is ready, now all we need are the brakes. I am ...

Well, only 6 more days before our race season officially begins with the 100 Acre Wood. Jim and Tess are ready to go and win this year. The Jeep is all ready and had no major issues from last year so we changed the oil and washed it up and it was ready to go. Once that event is over, we will have Buzz our new SCCA American Sedan Camaro ...

Alright, so this topic kind of came up at the St. Louis Region banquet tonight. I bid in the silent auction, and won, a brand new (or at least looks new), golf bag. Most everyone's response was, I didn't know Chris plays golf. So that's my Number 1. 1. I play golf, not much anymore, but in high school I worked at a golf course for 3 ...

Well, it's not really ''mine'', but the company who developed the hitch I use on my car is now selling them to other folks. http://www.tuxedoparkracing.com/350zhitch.html If you've got any questions please feel free to ask, I'll try to answer any that I can. I've towed my 6x8 trailer with this for well over a year now. Even hauled THREE sets ...

Well, the trip to Denver wasn't half bad. I flew Frontier Airlines and was surprised to see TVs in all of the head rests! Sure, it was $5 for 24 channels for the flight, but they had a free channel I watched that played some interesting short films. I got to Denver, after one of the bumpiest flights I've ever had, but who cares, I got to watch TV ...

Here are my runs from today, except for Run 4, which of course would have been the cool one because I hit cones on the camera side, but of course I checked to make sure the camera was recording right before I ran, and apparently turned it off. Run 1 ended up getting a rerun due to a downed cone. Run 2 Run 3 Run 5 Posted from ...
