Well I am new here and I am looking to run at summit point. Really I just want to know where to start.

The main car I am looking to run is a 91 Z28 heres the specs:

-195CC Aluminum heads 5 angle, polished, etc...
-Brand spanking new 350
-LT4 Hot Cam
-Alum. 1.6 Rockers
-3.42 Posi Auburn Rear
-Stock TPI intake
-Poly Bushings
-TDS Wonderbar

I am working on the following:

-8 Point Roll Cage
-Spohn Tubular K-Member and A-Arms
-1-5/16" front sway bars, and 1" Rear.......Would this be ok?
-Aluminum Driveshaft
-T56
-13" Corvette Front brakes
-Y2K C5 5 Spokes
-255 Fronts 275 Rear Undecided on tires..... Any recommedations?
-Wilwood 12.19" rear brakes.... anything out there better?

As for the rest of the suspension I am looking for more suggestions.

I also have a 98 Z51 thats holds the garage floor down and a 91 RS which is my daily driver.

As for summit point where do I start? Who do I contact? etc.

I'd look into their "FATT" program (Friday At The Track). It's usually reasonably priced and it seems well run. I have family in that area and have to ask if you are from the WVANG? I grew up in Martinsburg until about 8 years ago.

A few things.

I'd probably run the stock rear brakes or maybe the LT1 or LS1 rear brakes (probably cheaper than the Wilwood stuff). Stock third gen rear disks may be enough with the right pads.

I'd also consider trying to get the same size wheels and tires on both ends of the car. I had 275/40-17's on my 1989 Formula on 17x9.5 wheels with 5.5 inches of backspacing and they fit like factory wheels. Just something to consider.

With that, I'm going to get some breakfast and I'm sure the third gen pilots will drop in here soon (PF Flyer runs at Summit Point with his 3rd gen, Julie used to race a 3rd gen CMC car, Axoid autocrosses one as do several others).
