Chad's 68 Camaro V3.0 build. LS3 & TCI goodies

[Chad-1stGen]

Continuing my recap of last night at Adams...

The track at Adams is so tight that my data overlay is hard to read but here is another illustration of one of my 44 second laps. Each yellow bar represents G's greater than 0.75 and less than 1.0. Each red bar represents G's greater than 1.0.



Unfortunately my night was cut short. A bolt came lose on one of the pinion down bars which caused the other hiem joint to snap. I was able to make it home by reconnecting the first pinion down bar. I had virtually no tools or equipment at the track so it was through the generosity of fellow car guys that I got the car drivable and drove it home. Special thanks to Don with the 38 Ford hotrod and Jason from TCI who helped me get it back together. Don even offered to trailer me home which wasn't a short distance if I couldn't get the car drivable again. Way very cool.

What a fantastic thing to do!!



Car and driver look awesome. Sorry to hear about the MAST motor. I won't be ordering anything from them for my projects after learning of your treatment. I was offered their motors in another project I'm planning and now - that will just be a Hell NO!

That was a very generous offer from Don. Especially since he lives 30 miles in the opposite direction. He's a pretty cool old goat.
