Not a 3rd Gen but a bas *** Chevelle!
Here are a few videos from the Super Chevy Suspension & Handling Challenge. It was our first year competing and we learned a lot from the experience!
Road Course
YouTube - MOV0AF_mpeg2video.mpg
Slalom
YouTube - MOV067_mpeg2video.mpg
Slalom
YouTube - MOV068_mpeg2video.mpg
Slalom
YouTube - MOV064_mpeg2video.mpg
Only thing we really didn't have time to put in was a fast ratio steering box, the old oem unit was still in the car but it still held up ok. Maybe next year!

The sloloms looked really nice but unfortunately, like most autocross videos, the full course videos always make the cars look slower than it really is going.
One good thing is that it didn't look like there was too much body roll... what spring rates were you using?
I'll have to make time to read that issue of SC. To many hours at work and to much homework. I'll get to eventually... I hope

What date was that done? I'm reading about it in Super Chevy now, and the course is 10 minutes from me. Bummer I missed it.

I don't think it was open to the public. I think it was just meant for the companies willing to prove themselves.
