That's absolutely the 1st gen Camaro driver I'd be talking to!

That's because Sieg is unavailable of course.... ringer on Team Weld.

I picked up some poly carbonate material from tap plastics today and built my rear quarter windows. Tomorrow I'll put the new front rotors and pads on unless I get pulled away for some family activity.

Haven't been to Sonoma in 8 years so should be interesting.

You do know if you just ran a vintage Mustang -- they fixed that issue back in like '65....


See how that rear window is open up near the roof... creates a low pressure area and sucks all that high speed air right out! LOL

Yeah, I really like that. Wonder if that would work for my car.

If its convenient enough for you can you post some pics of that rear window area.

Sieg= Sandbagger (racing)

Sandbagging describes someone who underperforms (usually deliberately) in an event. The term has multiple uses, such as a driver who competes in an event in a series below their level of expertise to finish high.[1] In bracket drag racing and short track racing when a racer has a dial-in time / qualifying speed much slower than the car can actually perform. The term can also be used to describe a fast driver who holds back during a race until just before the end, when they suddenly pass up through the field to win the event.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
