Very cool radio flyer. Looks like fun for the kiddos. I want to get a couple of those or an old school pedal car made up PT style for my niece and nephew.

Thanks. The boys love it and it will coast for a mile. Shop around for some used cart wheels and tires and it's pretty cheap to build them.

Thanks, Cal.

Anyone out there have a nice set of seats for my camaro? I'm looking for a low back style seat that has some side support that keeps you in the seat and accepts harnesses.I'm not a fan of the typical high back racing style seat that tend to get real wide around your head and shoulders. If anyone has a used set or any suggestions, let me know.

Thanks, Cal.

Cal, are you thinking something similar to the Recaros in Paul's second gen, but with more bolstering for the track, or are you thinking somewhere along the lines of a vintage looking bucket seat for racing.

I like these for vintage. When you're down in SoCal you want to stop by Sube Sports. I went to buy a driving suit and ended up sitting in all of their various display seats.

I like the Recaro's but don't necessarily need a high end leather seat for a car without interior and door glass. On the other hand, I like the look of the Cobra you sent me but I do want a seat that has some adjustability for drivers other than me. I haven't done much research but maybe I'm hoping for something that's not available.

Thanks, Cal.

Here's a question I hope someone can answer. How do I choose the correct brakes for my application? My car is strictly autocross and should weigh in around 2800 lbs. I'm running the full detroit speed catalog of suspension, LS3 525, 18x12 and 18x10 with BFG's. I've heard several suggestions on what to run and not one suggestion has been the same. I've had different suggestions within the same manufacture. I've been told to use 14", 13", 12", performance level, race only, booster, no booster and I'm struggling to commit to anything. Anyone have a suggestion or individual I can contact that can walk me through this. Lots of guys can sell you brakes, but few can really walk you through a detailed/educated reasoning for the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Cal.
