Yes it does turn heads because there aren't many used on trackdays and in the 2 years that i have been doing them i have yet to see another old school muscle car on track . You do see some in the classic car races over here where they are with other cars of the period like mini's , Aston Martin's and mustang's .
This link should show a clip from Silverstone of a pair of Camaro's in a heritage race if i have done it correctly . Pete
Pete, considering your climate and budget I'm curious as to what tires are you running?
Yes its usually damp or cold and damp so i have some federal road tyres which are ok for the performance level i have . With something like a r888 you need to get them warmed up before letting loose because generally the temperature is below 15 deg for half the year and only hits 25 deg sometimes during the summer . I have seen cars hit the armco on their first lap for not warming their tyres first , yes sometimes we despair at our weather . I was advised to try with road tyres first as 60's suspension wouldn't be able to deal with grippy track tyres , and to learn about lines and braking points first .I have also been trying different castor and camber settings etc so trackday tyres would have been wasted on me . Next year iam going to try some federal 595's on bigger rims to see how i get on . Pete
Thanks for the welcome guys , i have to say that the track junky Camaro is my favourite car on here and is the sort of thing iam aiming for . Pete
I appreciate the compliment Pete. Old School Soldiers like us have to give these other guys a handicap and let them have their aftermarket frames otherwise it just wouldn't be fair.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
Very nice Camaro you have there Pete and doing some track day with it is what I like most. I also doing track time on the Zandvoort circuit with my 69 here in The Netherlands.
