We are loving the growing trend of building show cars that can perform on the track, so when Curt and Fritz contacted us to see if we’d like to be a part of the RPM Hot Rod’s ‘62 Chevy II build, we were happy to say yes…well, once we stopped laughing at the build’s nickname. “The Runt”? Poor lil’ Chevy. It’s hard being a compact car.
RPM built the car for one of their longtime customers, Gerry Kerna, who was interested in competing in the autocross, as well as adding to her show car collection.
The Runt may have a funny name, but the car is no joke! With custom fabricated chassis, LS7, Tremec 6-Speed and all kinds of custom body modifications, this cherry beast will definitely have the last laugh at anyone who dares to challenge Kerna on the track.
The Runt not only won Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year award for 2011, but it also was invited to join the elite at OUSCI this year.
Anyone who takes the time to peek under the hood of the Runt will definitely appreciate the quality and hard work that went into building this car. Of course, we’re especially delighted by the awesome custom Spectre intake. Not only did RPM add their own unique coating to the aluminum tubes, they utilized the inline filter option we have, making a lot of people question where the filter went. Ooh, a mystery!
We will be working closely with RPM in the future and hope they will continue to use Spectre’s parts to build custom intakes for their one off cars. We also will have a special surprise that we are working with RPM which will debut mid March. Stay tuned for sneak peeks.

We spend a lot of time on the track, whether autocrossing at Good Guys shows, skidding to a perfect brake stop or tempting fate on the wicked turns of HWY 341. Basically, we’re constantly surrounded by hot shoe drivers, from our own Brandy Morrow to friends like Brian Finch , John Hotchkis, Kyle and Stacy Tucker, Mary Pozzi or 341 double champion, Lou Gigliotti.
Recently though, we started thinking about all the great rookies we meet. When we go to shows, we meet whole families building cars together, and we really think it’s cool to talk with kids who are just getting their driving permits about their car interests and driving goals. We guess you could call them “new shoe” drivers, but we think of them as SPIs…Spectre People of Interest.
We decided that our new shoe drivers deserve as much attention as the hot shoes, so with no further ado, we’d like to introduce Sam Farrington, our very first “SPI” highlight.
Name: Sam Farrington
Age: 15 1/2
We first met Sam at the Good Guys Nashville show in May, 2011. Sam had been working his way through the passenger seat of all the vendor cars and when he ended up next to Brandy in the Carbon Camaro, she had a chance to chat with him while they prepared to run.
Sam was a pro at these Goodguys Shows. He and his family have been attending car shows and pro-touring races longer than many of us have been in the industry!
Sam’s parents Tom and Debbie are active car people. Tom has a ’66 Chevelle he races and Debbie has a ’64 Chevelle Wagon. Sam told us that both his parents encouraged him to get involved in building and working on the cars. If something on one of the cars needs to be checked, Sam is there alongside his dad looking under the hood of the car.
We ran in to Sam and his family at many more events this summer, including Run to Music City, Midwest Musclecar Challenge and Goodguys Indy. Sam was known as the “professional passenger.” He had more seat time as a passenger at the Goodguys Nashville Show than any one person did as a driver; and Brian Finch drove a lot of cars that weekend!
We spoke with Sam’s parents about his car adventures. They had been working with him on basic skills such as parking and even some autocrossing. Sam had also spent some time one summer with Detroit Speed. Kyle and Stacy had taken him in and he helped them around the shop.
Give or take a year… this kid will be kicking everyone’s butt and by the time he is 18 and allowed on a Goodguys track, all of us old timers won’t be able to keep up with Sam.
Sam impressed us because he quickly saw that you do not need a car to learn to drive and be competitive. Sam already has the experience years beyond his age. His seat time as a passenger has already helped him become a better driver. Even more so, his seat time with multiple drivers has taught him several different driving styles that he can apply to his own when he finally gets to switch seats and get behind the wheel. He’s already giving his mom and dad pointers when they take out their Chevelles. We know he’s eager to challenge his sister Kaytlin on the autocross and the skills that both Farrington kids learn on the race track will make them safer drivers on the street as well.
Keep an eye out for Spectre parts on the Farrington’s wagon and hopefully a custom install on Sam’s car when it is ready.

As the summer winds down, the racing heats up at the Good Guys shows. Spectre’s skilled hot shoe, Brandy Morrow has been on a winning streak, and we decided to let her relive the drama of her victory at Good Guys Chicagoland Nationals:
“Ryan Matthews from DSE brought intense competition to the table while driving the DSE 1963 Nova Friday and Saturday. He and I played a game of cat and mouse for two straight days. As I pulled ahead a tenth of a second, Ryan would catch up and bump me down to second place. Next round I would come back and knock him down pulling ahead another tenth of a second. This game went on for multiples laps- finally resulting in Trent from Goodguys (the coordinator of the autocross) refusing to update the score board until the end of the day for Ryan and my scores.
Phil Gerber from the Roadster Shop was a close third while driving Chris and Linda’s 1966 Chevelle. The chevelle has given everyone quite a run for their money including myself. Chris, who took first in the Street Machine class, is one phenomenal driver and is only getting better each time he comes out to an autocross event. It was also nice to see his wife Linda who was racing her Chevelle out there improving on her own times and having fun.
Saturday afternoon called for big storms. I was able to stay in first throughout the day, though Ryan ran his fastest run Saturday falling just 9/100’s of a second behind my quickest time. We would like to thank Ryan and all of DSE team for all their support for the Spectre team. If Ryan had beaten me it would have been a well deserved win, but luckily I was able to stay ahead of him by that nine-hundredths of a second. Ryan and I both agreed that the next autocross is always a new day with new competition. He is a fantastic role model to watch and learn from. Ryan has been great help throughout the year offering advice and making sure I am doing all right throughout the day. In a way it’s like having a big brother out there. He wants to help me but also wants to kick my butt! Haha.”
Congrats on holding the victory, Brandy! We’re proud of you!

Everyone at the Good Guys shows works pretty hard to make sure the races run smoothly, the show is organized and the participants all have a good time. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t occasionally get silly. Brandy gives us the full report on why you should never buy a fleet car if Bangshift’s Chad Reynolds is on the rental history.
BATTLE OF THE CHEVY AVEO – by Brandy Morrow
Sunday came and the weekend was finally coming to an end at the Goodguys Show at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, IL. The vendors participating in the autocross were pretty tired after two full days of racing, and that often leads to “creative” racing.
Chad Reynolds from Bangshift.com who is also the MC for most Goodguys Autocross Events had rented a Chevy Aveo for the weekend. This car was a bright yellow bare-bones rental car. Now I am not quite sure who had the brilliant idea to take it around the autocross, but next thing I know, that poor car is packed with 5 people and is sitting at the starting line of the autocross waiting for the green light. Sure enough the battle of the Chevy Aveo had begun.
It ended with 5 different drivers battling on who could drive the Chevy Aveo around the autocross course with the quickest time. Chad hopped in around midday on Sunday to prove to everyone that he was the best Chevy Aveo driver of them all. Surprisingly the Aveo held up; though it looked like it wanted to tip over half the time. The other Aveo drivers finally gave up and let Chad have his victory. Besides being badly outgunned by Chad’s amazing Aveo driving skills, I think most of the passengers (especially those in the back seat) were getting pretty car sick.
On one of the final runs, Jason Childress from Gateway Classic Mustangs decided to run the Aveo backwards. After successfully going all the way through to the finish line backwards, the Chevy Aveo was the most popular car in the pits for the rest of the day. This is serious racing, folks.
Thanks to Bangshift and Bob Chiluk for the photo!

Brandy has been a killer on the autocross track this summer, taking win after win in the Spectre “Carbon Camaro”.
Spectre may have a “take no prisoners” attitude on the track, but we’re still going to shows to make friends, and Joliet, IL was no exception. Despite a dire weather forecast, we met up with some old friends and made some new ones at the Chicagoland Nationals.
Our show weekend started out with the now traditional Good Guys vendor karting challenge Thursday night before the show. We’d like to congratulate Keith Mac Donald from Detroit Speed for winning the Vendor Karting race Thursday night. This time, Keith took first with Ed Capen from Goodguys taking a close second. Nice Job Keith!!!
Since Joliet is hometown to many vendors including Roadster Shop and Peak Performance, the autocross track was packed. Vendors including RideTech, DSE, Gateway Classic Mustangs, RPM, Roadster Shop, Heidt’s, and many more all showing and competing. Brandy certainly had her work cut out for her on the track!
Keeping the Carbon Camaro company on the autocross course this weekend was RPM’s “Runt,” which is a 1962 Chevy Nova custom build. RPM built the car for Gerry Kerna. Curt and his crew had done some testing with “The Runt” before coming to Chicagoland Speedway, but this would be the car’s first official full weekend on a Goodguys’ autocross track. Curt ran the car Friday and Saturday, working out all the kinks and seeing how it would handle around the tight corners of the autocross. Gerry ran the car Sunday for her first official Goodguys autocross. Gerry was an autocross newbie, but she had a great line on the course and did very well. Gerry will be some great competition in the very near future.
On Sunday, Goodguys opened the car show to all American cars. We had several Camaros, a couple of Mustangs and an 1993 Nissan 240sz with an LS swap and slicks. It was good to see all years allowed into the show.
In the Spectre booth we had one of our customers, Rich Bryant, with his ’65 Chevelle featuring a Spectre Make/ Model Specific Bolt on cold air intake. The car a great addition to our booth and it received a lot of attention. Big thanks to Rich for displaying in the Spectre Booth.
At the end of the weekend came awards. Throughout the weekend Curt Ukasik, owner of RPM Hot Rods, had his daughter out at the show. Ashley rode as passenger while Curt drove the Runt around the autocross track. She also made a great motivational coach, cheering her dad and Gerry on along with all the other autocross competitors. At the end of the weekend, Brandy asked Ashley if she would help present awards. Ashley did a fantastic job, helping carry awards to the participants and even presenting Brandy with the 1st place Vendor at the Autocross. Ashley is a fantastic kid who we all hope to see behind the wheel alongside the rest of us someday. She has 8 more years before she gets her driver’s license and then she has to convince her father to build her a car. The second one shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Spectre Performance won twice at the Goodgduys Rod & Custom Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, on July 9th. The first victory came when Spectre marketing team member and company hot shoe Brandy Morrow drove the 1970 Carbon Camaro to a 1st place finish in the Street Challenge Autocross Vendor class, her second event win and first victory at the nationals.
The large black Speed by Spectre big rig with an x-ray image of the 400+mph Spectre SpeedLiner is a common site at Goodguys shows around the country, where team members show off the latest in high-performance air filters and cold air intake systems, as well as testing new products in a variety of Spectre project cars. The latest is the Carbon Camaro, a 1970 model with IMSA-style fender flares and massive Forgeline wheels. The car made its debut at the 2010 SEMA Show and has since been flogged mercilessly at autocross and road race events around the country. Morrow’s first victory in the car came at the Goodguys Colorado Nationals in early June.
Competition in the Vendor class at the Nationals was fierce, as drivers readied themselves for the sponsor shootout the following day. Morrow competed against Detroit Speed & Engineering’s brutally fast 1970 Camaro, the Optima 1967 “One Lap” Camaro, Ride Tech’s “48 Hour” 1st Gen Camaro and Mary Pozzi’s freshly rebuilt 1972 RS Camaro – all of which also run Spectre cold air intakes.
Wet weather on Friday cut in to practice time and many competitors were struggling on the big rough-asphalt course, but Brandy took the wide-body Camaro on a flawless run, netting a 32.622 and cinching 1st place in Saturday’s eliminations. This was a big win for Morrow and for the Spectre intake-equipped “Carbon Camaro” as the competition was close all weekend long.
Speed by Spectre’s winning weekend didn’t end with Brandy’s Autocross victory. The company was also honored to receive the coveted Good Guys “New Product of the Year” award for their new aluminum Cowl Air Box setup. Spectre would like to congratulate Brandy and all of the Good Guys awards winners in Columbus and the whole team is looking forward to the rest of the show season and additional competition.

At Spectre, we’re very lucky to have such an amazing team and enough good friends that we’re able to cover multiple shows across the country at the same time. While the HRPT rig and cars have been traversing the South, the amazing Morrow Family has been running cones in Colorado ( then running cross country ) in the Carbon Camaro.
Brandy is working on a detailed recap of the Good Guys show in between gas stops as the Morrows head our way to meet us on Power Tour, but we just couldn’t wait to brag. Brandy fans, send our girl some congratulations because she drove that black 2nd Gen like she stole it and picked up her first win of 2011! Nice work, Brandy!
There’s no time for reveling in the glory though, the Morrows are racing against time now to get from Colorado to meet up with the rest of us in Nashville (and maybe get a few more autocross runs in?)
Over the roar of the engine Brandy told us about their progress, “Though we’ve had a couple slight hiccups with the fuel pump again which we have had to let cool down, we are approx 100 miles away from St. Louis on I 70 east. We hope to make Nashville before midnight as long as the car cooperates.”
Drive safe, Mike, Lisa and Brandy. We’ll see you soon!

Everyone knows that Texas is bigger than life. We arrived in Ft. Worth with big expectations for the show. We set up on Thursday while fighting some Texas-sized windstorms. If it wasn’t for our friends over at the Hotchkis Sport Suspension who rushed over to help Brandy and Lisa with the awning, we might still be searching for them out in the Texas landscape.
Luckily, we got all set up without losing anyone and had a quick glance at the autocross, which was unlike the usual peanut shaped course. This course would be on average a high 30 second to one- minute course depending on the driver, but had a couple more turns including a quick 90 degree lefthander that came right after a fast speed right sweeper. Little did the competitors know that the quick 90 degree lefthander would ruin many a fast lap because of the speed they would be carrying into that turn after the big sweeper, but we didn’t have that fun until Friday.
We were greeted on Friday by some familiar, but unexpected, faces. Not only did Brian Finch and Albert bring their cars out (after attending the El Toro Run To The Coast Event only weeks before), but Rob Macgregor brought out his no limits truck and John Hotchkis and Rob Phillips came out with the ’69 Chevy C10 to run in Vendor class for team Hotchkis.
The booth traffic was light, so Brandy and Steve headed over to the autocross course where Jason from Gateway Mustangs, both DSE cars, and Rob Phillips’ C-10 were all parked and waiting to run. After some tire pressure and suspension adjustment, with help from John Hotchkis, Brandy was surprised to find herself right at the top, running neck and neck with the other vendors. By the end of the day, the Spectre Carbon Camaro was in the top three! Could Brandy keep it there? We’d find out on Saturday.
Saturday came quickly, probably because we were all so excited about Brandy’s excellent autocross performance. The morning went well and Brandy was in the running for 2nd place while back at the booth, Guy Smith was building custom intakes and answering tech questions.
On the last run of the day, fellow enthusiast, Brian Finch hopped in the car with Brandy and coached her through the run to claim 2nd place, an amazing finish against some really tough competitors!
With no autocross on Sunday, the Spectre team caught up with some of their favorite customers. There were tons of Spectre equipped cars in the crowd, from Carson Collvins ‘41 Chevy Ratrod to Ted Parrish in his ‘56 Safari . Spectre friends Ed & Sue Cullen with their ‘40 Ford DLX and Tim Chesney with his ‘65 Mustang Fastback brought their cars out just to park in the Spectre Booth for the whole weekend. They were very kind and definitely helped promote our product with their Spectre Intakes.
Guy finished up the installs, including one on Jerry Watson’s ‘69 Nova . We did an install in October on one of Jerry’s other cars and he was so impressed he came back with the Nova to get another Spectre Intake installed.
We’ll offer some more detailed looks at some of the customer cars in our “New Products” blog, so make sure you check that out!

Although the folks in the East might disagree, for us on the west coast, winter has flown by, and we couldn’t believe it when we realized it was time for the Good Guys Season opener in Scottsdale, AZ.
Scottsdale always brings some unique cars that we don’t see anywhere else. Some of our favorites this year were Volkswagens and included a custom VW Bug made to look like a toy car, and a group of VW buses that all park together every year. Is it 1968?
The weather for the show was perfect all weekend long, and Friday was busy, with hot rods, street rods, muscle cars and classics all lined outside the entrance eager to claim their spot before heading to the vendor midway and check out the autocross. It was great to see such a big car count at what is a relatively new show on the Good Guys circuit.
We were set up in our usual spot near the back of the vendor midway next to PPG, Baer Brakes and Peak. We had a very special booth car for our demo install, Tim Kelly’s ‘67 El 442. No, that’s not a typo, it really is an El Camino/442. Definitely a one of one set up! Needless to say, the El 442 saw a lot of attention.
We love all the Good Guys events, but Brandy especially likes the stops which involve autocross, and the Arizona show started the autocross bright and early on Friday morning. Spectre’s Carbon Camaro was one of three official vendor cars, but there were lots of good friends running Spectre parts in other classes.
Despite vendor “competition” we’ve actually found the autocross to be a great place to work closely with other manufacturers. In Scottsdale, John Hotchkis, head of pro-touring suspension company, Hotchkis Performance teamed up with Brandy to work out the suspension tuning on the black Camaro.
This isn’t to say there was no competitive feeling in the crowd, Brandy was pretty thrilled to be just 8/10 of a second behind Brett Voelkel in the Ride Tech entry for a second place finish!
On Saturday, Brandy gave rides to lots of show goers, including Nicole Shumate, whose father Bill was running one of the most unusual entries in the autocross!
Nicole and her dad are building a Camaro, and she was really interested in learning about autocross. Nicole hopes to have her car done by next year so she can come out and start running the autocross. We certainly support that, and can’t wait to see Nicole and her friends on the track.
Sunday came quick and it was time to pack up. Brandy helped hand out awards and then it was off to Fort Worth, Texas. Will it be a TEXAS sized show?

The last day of RTTC was everything California is famous for: warm, sunny and super fast!
Our morning started at the Speed Stop Challenge. If you are new to our blog, and unfamiliar with a Speed Stop, it’s basically a test of braking and car control. The driver accelerates from a dead stop and then hits the brakes with the goal of bringing the car to a halt within the coned-off box. The goal is to have the quickest time without flat-spotting tires or sliding through the stop zone.
Although the Spectre team had often helped out at Speed Stop challenges during other events, Brandy had never actually competed in one! It was a little confusing at first, but after the first couple of runs everyone was starting to get the hang of it.
Autocross followed the Speed Stop and everyone was grateful for Saturday’s practice . The weather was perfect, the ground was dry and the Carbon Camaro was just excellent.
The track portion ended up being the most fun part of the day. Brandy lined up right behind Camaro Performers’ Nick Licata, and was able to check out his racing line during the warm up.
We’ll let Brandy describe the experience:
“The first lap was warm-up as usual, but I started to gain more speed through the straight aways and developed a good line to follow through the turns. Second lap was feeling good, third was even better carrying more speed through the corners and then came the fourth lap…. Towards the back end of the course the car started to get lose in the back and drifted a little to the left. I tried to correct it, but couldn’t catch it in time and around the car went… yeah I know, I spun a car on rear 345 tires! Seriously though it was fantastic because it meant I was pushing it. Though I had spun, it was good to see that I was finding the limits of the car. Let’s just say I took the pink hat with pride that time!”
After Brandy’s adventure, Mike took the car out in the afternoon session. The car was looking great and handling really well. With a little bit of tweaking, this car should do great things this season.
The day came to an end too quickly. The top speed challenge was a great success and very competitive. Brian Finch, Kyle Tucker, Ryan Matthews and Steve Rupp were some of the top contestants in the Spectre top speed challenge, and the final top speeds surprised us at the end of the day. Kyle Tucker finished with a top speed of 97mph and Steve Rupp followed closely with 96 mph.
