New Guy - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

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.
