I did some updating to the my CMC car section, one for my '94 TA and old '84 TA. You can also use the links to see my '97 TA which I did quite a bit of HPDE in and my '91 Formula project at Blaine Fab.

Show me your race cars!
My current autox car I picked up a couple months ago - 99 1LE now with 18,600 miles and almost done modding: (IMG:http://www.ground-speed.com/2008/slush_5/4/images/6IMG_9177.jpg) (IMG:http://photos-a.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v364/186/73/746241479/n746241479_2040136_7039.jpg) My previous autox car, sold to buy a house - 07 Z51 fully modded: (IMG:http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/22/l_281313722367508a36d499623e7edb4e.jpg) (IMG:http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/92/l_9aceb352b2575951b2c5e006e7530c4d.jpg) |

Nobody has pics of his car? It's a slow monday, and I'm in need of automotive stimulation.

Alright, I'll play. I finished my first race on Saturday. While I was off pace of the front runners by ~10 seconds, I kept it clean and finished with a 3rd place (5 started, 2 DNFs). Finished my second race on Sunday. I was off pace by ~5 seconds, as I'd found some time in practice and qualifying. I kept it clean in terms of contact, but went off twice in the sweeper at Buttonwillow. Seeing as it's my wife's car, I'm going to have to make sure I get the dust out of all the nooks and crannies. Here it is, Sunday post race.

Here is my POS: a 2001 Camaro Z28 woefully underprepared for SM:

QUOTE (rmackintosh @ Apr 28 2009, 11:40 AM) Randy's car is SWEET! Time for my POS or should I call it a highly polished turd?: I have an 87 Camaro that I work on too much to race it seems. Many people here have probably seen this pic: (IMG:http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o33/StanIROCZ/Grattan1.jpg) there's more at my website. I'm in the process of putting a full cage in it right now. I use it for open track days and street driving but I'm building the car for AI / AIX / ITE / CP. I'm keeping the door windows, lights, and wipers etc so I can drive it on the street. Everything else is gutted to the max and there are many non-compromise 'race' parts on the car, such as the Jerico. I also built a 1 of a kind rear axle with an aluminum center section and maybe a few other crack pipe ideas have been incorporated on the car. Judging by some other cars on this board the car should be around 2900 lbs by the next time I get it on the track. I think I enjoy the building part too much since it is tore down more than it is running. |

First off, great looking cars everyone. I'm especially fond of Austin's IROC, since it's ridiculous and street legal.
Here's my favorite auto-x pic of my car (92 RS) back when i was running esp (pre engine swap): (IMG:http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/351/background1.jpg) Another, diving into a corner: (IMG:http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/282/facebookprofilecamaro.jpg) Track day at Putnam: (IMG:http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/4645/putnamtrackday.jpg) I've got tons more, bot those are some of my favorites. |

It was one of the 'train derailment' motors circulating around last year. |

Camaro 02
Last year! Much the same this year with the addition of a T56 face plated gear box, rear fiberglass hatch and lexan, front lexan, and maybe a new rear gear. |

The only decent pics i have of the Camaro are from my wife. I'm not sure how she does it, but she always takes pics Blair Witch style.
I've got the Strano setup and it kicks much ass. (IMG:http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/8384/picture230uy3.jpg) (IMG:http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/8721/picture217aj4.jpg) (IMG:http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/9342/picture218cy9.jpg) My other racer is a 1986 Nissan 300ZX Turbo. It's mostly for ice racing, but it also gets some rallycross love once in a while. It's got lightweight rust mods and rolls on a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60s!

I'd LOVE to ice race! I rally-crossed a few year ago in a Subaru. I wish was a bit more popular around here.
