thanks! i drive around with them as a much more dull looking grey (they're actually gun metal...same diff, my ZR1s will get the same treatment) from the carbortech dust rotf.gif

I know what you mean, the satin black paint on my wheels usually looks more like flat black for the same reason!

My 2008 competition car... still DS for now, but if I decide to stir up trouble, it's going to ESP. At least when it gets moved out of ESP, I'll still have my Camaro to fall back on... biggrin.gif

Nice Karen. I wondered how long it would take you to wind up adding a Subaru to the stable. Looks good!

Do AutoX "Race Cars" count? Especially stock class ones?

Last Years setup for ESP





This Years FS setup





No pictures of it in driver trim but I have a set of ZO6 wheels in flat black so they stay nice and clean looking!

Not a real race car, but as close as I have ventured, so far...


This photo was taken shortly before clocking 167 on GPS, and a couple days after 170 by GPS.
CMC #37
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:






My previous autox car, sold to buy a house - 07 Z51 fully modded:

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.



It was a tad bit difficult to see out of the windscreen for a bit there. And when coming back on course, corner workers are your friend.

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





Winter mods include a cammed LS3 and 17x11 wheels:

How much did THAT beauty set you back? I ask because I NEED to get rid of the boat anchor under my hood!

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:

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.

4,000 shipped. It started off life as an L92 truck motor and has been converted (more or less) into an LS3.

I love your Camaro. 2thumbs.gif

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):




Another, diving into a corner:




Track day at Putnam:



I've got tons more, bot those are some of my favorites.

Off LS1tech from the former site owner. It was one of the 'train derailment' motors circulating around last year.

Here is a pic of my Z from the recent Blytheville Middiv event.

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.







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.

new paint:


I just realized that I don't have any photos of my GTA from the last 2-3 years, goes to show how bad I've been about keeping it on the road between mods...

And my excuse for not keeping the GTA running:

Here is my junker. WAY too much motor and not enough suspension and even less driving ability...





Here is heap I daily drive. I love thirdgens.

Mkay, I've still got Scratcher...motor is due back next weekend:



And I've still got Miss (92 1LE/B4C) that I daily drive (cold ac!), ax and instruct hpde:



BUT, right now I'm putting a fresh 3.8 back into the scca ITA chevy monza to get it back up and running so I can put it up for sale. No need for two race cars (well...no need right NOW anyway...and I need the space) so I got the motor back from the shop today and put it in the chassis and hung the clutch and bellhousing and will stab the trans and hopefully get it running this weekend.


http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch135.htm

I'll be updating that chapter this weekend as I get more accomplished. If anyone knows of someone looking for a nice little fast and fun ITA car with a hefty set of spares, please point them towards me!!

Though I always profess my love for the 3rd gen Formula's, I have always had a real soft spot for the old GTA's and that is a really nice looking example. If it ever becomes worthless (hahahahahahaha), call me, I'll take it off your hands cheap. smile.gif

How many miles are on it? 1987?

78K miles, 1987, 350TPI, Digital dash option. AC works! I found it on a used car lot. Somebody kept it really nice. I had to get the radio rebuilt...but it is still 100% original.

Well since I am new here this is a good place for an introduction/conversation piece. wink.gif

Yes, it is drag oriented (12.7 @ 110mph N/A; 12.5 @ 117mph on a 100shot)... but she is my baby:


This is a dual purpose car Drag/Auto-X (and it's suspension is very much adapted from a 3rd Gen F-body):




And yes, we have an F-body as well. An '02 B4C from Florida State's Hwy Patrol; this one is Natasha's car (I've got the little lady racing it now too...):
