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.

Welcome to the board and welcome back to the sport. Glad things worked out and you are able to get back on track.

I've seen Beach Cruiser's car in person. AWESOME work. What people don't realize is he did that in a garage smaller than most walk in closets. Dude's nuts.

Thanks Kyle. don't know if I'll make all the venues this season but I'm looking forward to tearing it up.

Yeah, I like the direction Beach Cruisers is going with his '67. Thats one thing I've noticed about you east coast boys, alot of passion for this sport. If you think about it were all nuts..........spending thousands of dollars a year for adrenaline, lol.
