Great video, the in-car video is terrific! Lots of interesting things were caught by the camera crew in this one, Bills UCA snapping, Larry's off course, etc. Great work guys!
Two thumbs up! - David Pozzi
 
I got my copy today. Great coverage of the event. It covers the good, the bad and even in my case, the ugly. Great work Kevin and Kelly, as always, top notch stuff guys. Even if you saw the Speed show on the event, I recommend this one to everyone. Great interviews and some insider stuff that you just did not see on the show. Since Kevin is a car guy, he covered the event with a bit of a car guy twist. - Bill Howell

RideTech is pleased to bring the latest in OEM shock technology to the hotrod market with the new RideTech SELECT series of shock dampers. The RideTech Select series is a steel body monotube damper with TWO sets of independent internal valving so you can choose between a soft compliant ride or a firmer “sport mode” for handling performance…all at the touch of a switch!

The RideTech Select series will be available in a coilover, a ShockWave [airspring], or a stand alone configuration with no surrounding spring. RideTech [formerly known as Air Ride Technologies] has long been known for the ShockWave, a combination airspring and shock absorber. With the new Select Series damper, RideTech is now the ONLY manufacturer able to bring this new electronically selectable valve technology to the coilover customer as well. The Select Series is also available with no coil or airpsring to fit the appropriate applications.

The heart of the RideTech Select is two independent sets of electronically controlled valving inside the monotube damper. In default mode [no power applied], the lower valving stack is engaged and provides a very compliant ride to optimize a plush ride quality. When power is applied through a dash mounted control panel, the upper valve stack is engaged to firm up the ride quality and provide extra cornering and handling performance, or to optimize ride quality when towing or carrying a heavy load such as passengers , luggage or a trailer.

This selectable valve technology has been refined and proven on many OEM vehicles over the past 9 years. RideTech now offers the ultimate solution to the ride quality and handling issues of the hotrod and trailering market…the RideTech SELECT!

New product - Cast Aluminum Hood Latches

     

www.Hood-Latches.com created by Rick Klein is proud to announce the availability of their new cast aluminum hood latches.

Being a car enthusiast himself Rick noticed a severe issue with the aftermarket and OEM hood latches available, they were ugly and cheaply made by way of a metal stamping. So here is his remedy. Cast hood latches made out of A356 T6 Aluminum Alloy by way of the RPM molding process (rubber plaster mold). This creates a very strong thin walled dense Aluminum casting.

Currently they are making latches for '67 - '81 Chevy Camaro's and '68 - '69 Chevy Chevelle's in either a brushed or polished finish with other models available soon.

Exotic Car Transport, the official transporter of Pro-Touring.com

 

Enclosed auto transportation can mean many things depending on who you ask. Exotic Car Transport enclosed auto transportation has a very profound meaning. Enclosed auto transportation starts by meaning "ENCLOSED". Enclosed means enclosed, fully, completely enclosed by solid masses on all sides. Enclosed auto transportation to some "enclosed auto transportation companies" may mean partially enclosed, semi enclosed, or even enclosed by canvas. Not to Exotic Car Transport, enclosed auto transportation means fully enclosed by solid unbreachable walls, ceiling, and floor.
Enclosed auto transportation also means "enclosed all the time". Enclosed from the time your automobile is picked up from you. Enclosed when and if it needs to be transferred to another "enclosed auto transport" or if it is placed in an enclosed auto storage facility. Not some unknown facility but a real certified enclosed auto facility just as we have which is completely enclosed and secure, all the time.
Trust Exotic Car Transport as I did to send MotiV8r to Prodigy Customs without a hitch for a short haul or like I did all the way across the United States. Visit them at http://www.exoticcartransport.com or call them at 800-766-8797 and make sure you tell them you found them on Pro-Touring.com
