Thought I'd throw up a little intro post. I'm Greg, from Wisconsin. I picked up a '90 camaro a couple months ago, its currently in about as many pieces as it can be in my garage (a hollow shell with doors attached right now!), putting it together to be a weekend toy/track day car. I've been road racing motorcycles for the past couple years, last year burned me out a little bit chasing points and only going to 4 different tracks all season. This year I'm just doing a couple of those races for fun and hopefully some track days in the car too just for some variety.

I want to have the car done before the end of june, so that should give me time to get to a couple events this year at least! Maybe I'll see some of you at events in the midwest.

Here's the only picture I've taken of the car so far from a couple weeks ago. Pardon the crappy cell phone picture quality..

Thanks Sidney, building a car to the class rules does make sense, that way I won't be spending money twice if I end up going that route! Most of what I had planned for it would fit with the CMC rules anyways, two things I already have that wouldn't (assuming I'm reading the rulebook right) are the t56 and a tubular K-member, but since I already have them I'll put them on the car. It wouldn't be too difficult to change those parts out at a later point.

It does ultimately come down to money. I've seen cars cut up where the only class they were legal in was AIX and that's a $100,000 class if you want to be competitve. A couple small mods that aren't easy to switch back and you're in AI. CMC is a good place to start for an F-body where the driver is just beginning to track.

The T56 is legal but the tubular crossmember isn't. If you haven't dunked a motor in yet then change the crossmember now. I had to do this last winter when I switched from AI to CMC. You don't need this part with a Canton pan, shorty headers, or stock exhaust manifolds. It's just bling! The bushings are free and that's where you need to spend your money!
