2011 Chevrolet Camaro SSX Track Car Concept

Ever since the new very successful 5th Chevrolet Camaro’s has been launched the new owners have been spending ungodly amounts of money upgrading their Camaros. I suppose GM has decided it was time to get in on the action. GM partnered with Pratt and Miller, Riley Technologies, and Pfadt Race Engineering to come up with the Camaro SSX. The SSX showcases many of the new go fast goodies. Most of the new parts are geared to road racing/autocrossing. They include carbon fiber aero parts, front splitter, adjustable wing, light weight carbon fiber body parts, revised lower grille and unique brake cool ducts. The carbon fiber body parts, elimination of sound deadening material and the back seat should reduce the Camaro’s weight problem.

2008 SPRING ROD RUN

The 08 Spring Grand Rod Run was my very first AmericanCarAmericanGirls event coverage. While I did make my share of rookie mistakes by not doing enough car coverage I think I made up for those mistakes by having great girl coverage.

Pigeon Forge Tn. host both the Spring and Fall Grand Rod Runs.  The Rod Runs aren’t shows, events, or competition, no prizes or awards they’re just one BIG CAR PARTY. Thousands of people line their chairs and coolers along both sides of the ten mile main road of Pigeon Forge and watch the continuous unending, three day parade of every make, model, year and brand of American muscle car. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was super fun and the AmericanCarsAmericanGirls were outstanding.

A quick note to the Ford and Mopar guys. My apologies.  Your brands did not get equal coverage at this event. I’ll make up for this at later events.

SHELBY

After Nikki and Rebecca I could have gone home a happy camper but my beginners luck was just beginning. I walked a little further there they was SHELBY and her boyfriend Josh both from Ashville N.C. Quite frankly they didn’t look real happy when I first saw them uncomfortably setting in the little bit of shade they could find. When I asked Shelby if I could take some pictures of her with Josh’s car and the light switched and she immediately went into pose mode. It was evident she knew how and loved to pose. The picture of Shelby, Josh and Camaro is AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com.

Shelby is a student in Ashville N.C.

HEATHER and Hasty’s Car

Heather and her boyfriend had come in from Cincinnati. Heather’s boyfriend made my day. As I was taking pictures of Heather with the cool cars he said ”Man I wish I had your job”. Heather is gorgeous and definitely has posing ability. I especially love the pouty pictures. Heather listed her job as Office Manager.  All the cars in the pictures were for sale by Hasty’s Car Co. out of Bluebell, Oh.. www.hastyscarcountry.com. The Camaro and Nova are Yenko clones and the 2nd generation Camaro is as stock from the factory

KRISTEN and the MYSTERY CAR

One has to be careful with the adjectives one uses for Kristen becasue she’s just fifteen years old. We’ll just let the picture do the talking and the picture really doesn’t do her justice if you can believe it. We’ll just say she was striking.

The Mystery Car, well maybe you aren’t as mystified as I was but I was truly puzzled at the time. It’s a fourth generation Camaro with 1st generation quarter panels, nose, rear, and trunk lid grafted on. The cars is owned by Mike Moneyham from Shelbyville, Tn..
