Camaro X at Infineon Raceway - pics and video
 

Here's some pics and video of Charley wheeling Camaro X at Infineon Raceway. He was running street tires doing his best to keep up with the cars with R compound tires. I'll let Charley give the specifics, but it sure looks like fun.

Here's the video, it's 33mb, so it would probably work best if you first saved it to your computer then viewed it.


And a few cool pics.

Very Cool!

Scott, thanks for posting that vid - I really like how the Camaro X turned out and it's great to see people exercising their cars!

That being said - when can we expect to see YOUR car on the track? BIR's 5200' front straight is calling you......

The BIR School has classes every 2 weeks or so - Heck, you already know a couple of the top instructors there.

Tom, we need to talk again. :D Shoot me an e-mail please.

Take a look at the wing on the mustang that follows the black vet in the left lane. Big wing..

Cool :thumbsup:

That white Mustang belongs to my friend Jack. He just added that wing and it actually makes a big difference. He is pretty fast in that car. Has a whipple charger on a stock engine.

Cool stuff. Charley, what kinda speeds are you running? Looks fun.

How do you like the Racepak set up? Do they work good and are they easy to read?

How does this car compare to the mustang(65)? and the mule?

the stance on that car is so spot on:hail:

Totally agreed.:yes:

Looks like another fun day behind the wheel Charlie...:woot:

Racepack setup is fine but you do have to choose to display stuff like either fuel level or fuel pressure, oil temp or oil pressure. The Mule and Camaro X are at a disadvantage to the Mustang because they have street tires and the Mustang has track only tires and it is just a ton of difference to me. I'm going to get a set of race tires for Camaro X and try it again. I was dumb and happy with street tires till I ran sticky race tires.

Looks like fun!

charley the car still runs after jody and power tour . lol looks good.
rick k:D

Great pics, love that car!

Love that car! Thanks for sharing!! :cheers:

the car looks great!

I keep threatening myself to road trip there after I found out it has essentially a mile long straight. I could easily clear 160mph with that much room but diesel fuel is sooo outta whack it would cost a fortune to tow there and back from Denver area (2K round trip at 11 mpg). Would be a blast tho'.

I have an 11"x70" wing on my car and it creates approx 350lbs of downforce at 140mph, so yeah, big difference if you have a car like mine with a tendency for high speed oversteer. Also has about 350 lbs of drag at that speed too so it can be hard to pull thru the air, but that just creates a moment arm putting more normal force to my rear tires while lightening the front end (so I added a splitter to balance that out).

So if he picked up speed he must have had oversteer issues before.
