Hey guys,

Name is Kyle and live in Va beach. New to the F-body scene but not to road racing. Spent a lot of time running volvos, miatas, and bimmers, your basic momentum cars. So fter a while thought it was time for something else. Found a nice 2000 Trans Am WS6 in the area and took the plunge.

I'm all signed up and ready to go with NASA at VIR in July. Really excited and stoked about learning a whole new car and driving style. I'm glad to see that the road racing support is there for these F-bodies and that I'm not crazy when I thought this car would make a fun track car. I'll be leaving the car stock for this outting to just get an over all feel for the car. I do however have some SS lines, good pads and sticky tires for her. I'm thinking of getting some chassis braces from UMI as well. But only if you guys think thats a good idea. Any other easy tips and tricks or just stuff to look out for would be great.

So I'll be throwing as much of my knowledge about roadracing and F-bodies (as I learn them) out there as I can. And hopefully I'll run into a few of you guys at the track.


Thanks
Kyle

P.S. If for some crazy reason any of you need some tips or help with Volvo 240s, don't hesitate to ask. I have a lot of time under the hood and on track with 240 Volvos and would love to help however I can.

Yeah I knew someone would have some volvo tales... Yeah you really can't beat 300k. And now we are getting them into the 500 horsepower class. Theres a 242 in MD running 11.3 in the 1/4. Fun stuff.


I plan on keeping it an HPDE car. As well as Time trials when I get to that point. As far as full blown racing, probably not. Thats what the Volvo is getting rebuilt for right now. I'm just looking to make it fun and keep it street legal so I can drive it to and from the track.
