Mark Stielow's 69 Camaro, Red Devil

[Stielow]

Well, I have a dilemma. This weekend I can take my car to Gingerman Raceway to a Ferrari Club track event and kick sand in the face of some uber Euro cars and eat brie and drink wine. Or I can go to Detroit and do an AutoX in a parking lot on Belle Isle (they find a few dead bodies on Belle Isle every year). Hmmm.

Ferraris, wine & cheese OR gunfire, grumpy SCCA people while standing in the sun shagging cones…..such a tough decision.

Well, due to the fact that the AutoX counts as the same amount of points at Optima as the road race portion, I need to go sort out my car for AutoX. “Honey where did I put my Glock and my AutoX tires”?

Since the Wal-Mart went to 24 hours I can’t practice there anymore.

Oh well, could be fun. I moved my speed limiter up to 60 mph because they said it would be a “fast” one.

I have been beating on my car a bit. After the VIR deal I got the rack fixed and the ABS working. The car hauls now.

We did Woodward Dream Cruise. Fun doing 3rd gear burnouts on Woodward.

Looking forward to the LS Fest in Bowling Green, KY and then SEMA and the Optima Shoot out.

My only problem with the car is I have to wash and polish it all the time because the paint and body work is so nice…. I blame Paul and Joe… Thanks guys everyone loves the paint.

What was wrong with the rack ?

I never did read any real details on how you implemented ABS. Is it a straight vette setup ? Did you have to "reprogram" it ? if so, how did you interface it ? What is the path for more people adopting ABS into these cars ?
