Budget '69 Camaro Track Car - NO WHINERS!

[67zo6Camaro]

Nice, very cool track. I watched both and felt like a kid in the back seat trying to lift my head up to see over the dash for a better view. And then, I realized I was hearing something. Go back and listen again. Did you hear that? Yes that.... kind of sounds like a timing chain. Im just saying....

Yeah Bret.....I dont have much luck with the video thing......I usually bust out my 4' level to gauge camera height from the roll bar mount to the dash but slacked off this time.....Oh well, next time

......ohhh and the timing chain joke....not funny

OK guy's, here's session 3......lucky for you guy's its the last vid of the day......and no, the chain brake isn't in this vid......that was session 4.
Just a few laps in this one but the one where I got my fastest lap time of 2:04.9. Once again, apologies for the camera angle.....

Is that the Millenium Falcon replica you're driving or a Camaro?

And I think your Hyper Drive is not yet fully operational.

I know, right?

I thought the vids sucked but I threw them out there anyways( smiley shrugging his shoulders).
At least I didn't pull a Weld and post a mirror image vid

The vids are great man, now we know you ain't lying. Glad you finally a working video out of your arse.

Agreed on the safety stuff... G, you're going pretty dang fast for a t shirt and no gear.

Now that was good........

I left the jacket and gloves in my race car

On a serious note......I haven't spent a whole lot of time reviewing vids but the car did get better with every adjustment I made. By adjustments I mean tire pressure, shock adjustment, and rear roll center adjustment. My front tire temps up front were 7 degrees hotter on the outside then the inside and I had forgotten my alignment shims at home so I was stuck with that all day. The rear temps were hotter in the middle as I continued to take air out of them but wasn't adiment about it since the rear had plenty of grip. One key thing to remember on these track days in hot climates is that as the day goes on the sun heats the track and it seems difficult to keep up with tire pressures. The car is probably at about 80-85% adjustment wise and I think one or two more track days and she should hopefully be where I want her.
