Hi All,
Been browsing the site for a day or so and just want to say I really like what I see. Looks like most everybody here is into some form of racing. I started NASA HPDE in 2002 and moved up the ranks fairly quick into Time Trials when it first got introduced back in 2003. I ran as often as I could afford to until priorities changed at the end of 2006 season. I am just getting back into Time trials again this season. I know there aren't to many first gen f-body racers here but hell I really cant find many anywhere except for VARA and I'm too modified to join them. Here are a few pic's from a test and tune I was doing at Buttonwillow. Ran consistent 2:10's my last session with a best 2:10.125 13CW configuration. I had just lowered the rear another 1 1/2" and my rear tires were hitting my inner quarter panels and tail pipes, heating up my tires, and creating a loose condition. I have since installed a Fays2 watts link and will be back to Buttonwillow sometime after May to see if I can knock my times down any further.

Yeah, still holding out on front sub. Hell, still have rear leaf's. I did forget to mention the rack-n-pinion. I like the idea of the C4 set up in the rear. A buddy of mine threw a C4 set up under his '55 chevy and just beat my time at Buttonwillow by 1.5 seconds two weeks ago. Although I was fighting a loose condition that is still pretty impressive in a shoe box. If he kicks my butt after this watts install I'll be headed for a C4 set up under mine also.
I've got another buddy who's welds look like they came from a sewing machine. He sectioned and narrowed the tank for me. Post some pic's of that front sub some time This post has been edited by GCOSENTINO: Mar 24 2011, 07:13 PM |

I had a 69 RS/Z28 up until about 4 years ago. Had to sell. Mine was stock however, with a 302. Thanks for the memories. bock |
