The Hotchkis-equipped cars of the H-Team were out in full force at the 2012 Good Guys Del Mar Nationals.
Mary Pozzi took an early lead and started off a dramatic H-Team battle with R&D Engineer Aaron Ogawa. Who won? You'll have to watch the video and see.
What will come as no surprise is that the Hotchkis C-10 trucks proved once and for all that trucks can be just as fast - if not faster - than muscle cars when set up correctly and driven with skill.
Other H-Team highlights included Capt. Tommy Wisdom (USMC) in his Dodge Dart, "Sally," which was recently rebuilt by DTM Racing with a Hotchkis TVS, NewGen "Lite" wheels and Falken Azenis 615K rubber. In its Goodguys autocross debut, the car did exceptionally well. Greg Hohman brought his beautiful blue '71 Chevelle SS out to play on Saturday and made some passes as well. Good friend and H-Team Charter Member Dick Etchison drove all the way down from the four corners area of Colorado in his "crew cab" Chevelle, and got his times down into the low 33s. Brandy and Mike Morrow from the Spectre Performance team brought out the company's stunning wide-body Carbon Camaro, featuring LS1 power, massive Forgeline wheels tucked under IMSA style fender flares and a bevy of Hotchkis suspension components.
Del Mar also saw two new H-Team members on the field, both in stunning first gen Camaros with very different powerplants. Rodney Prouty's '68 Camaro and Robert Hall's '68, in this case a black convertible that emits a truly spine-tingling roar out the tailpipes. Built by H-Team member Rob Phillips in his PCH Rods shop, Robert's Camaro ragtop features a complete Hotchkis TVS and is powered by a supercharged LSA from a Cadillac CTS-V, essentially a Caddy version of a ZR1 engine.
