Rozelle Camaro USCA Buildup

Jake,

Great job on the car for far, and thanks for sharing. I saw you ran a 1:58.2 lap at the Thunderhill USCA - that is flat out hauling the mail and a big tribute to both driver and car.

Based on your and Stielow's experience, I finally decided to pull the trigger on some Anvil fenders and inners. No matter what I do, my car ultimately seems to be limited by front grip, and I'm hoping 40mm more tire and less weight will be just the ticket. What backspacing did you end up with on the 18x11 front wheels? And did they rub anywhere? Trying to figure out my wheel options ... And of course I understand I still need to measure for myself

Thanks much for any info,

Scott

Hey Scott thanks for the props! I love Thunderhill and can't wait to go back and am pretty pleased with that lap. We've made some more improvements and I'm hoping for a 57 next year with some luck Come by and say hi at an event sometime.

We are running 18x11s up front with 6 1/4 backspace and it is a very tight fit in and out. If we had gone a quarter inch more or less it would have been bad as right now there is just light rub on both sides of the tire.

Another little tip on the Anvil stuff is to run it on the car for a bit before doing paint/bodywork if possible as it does seem to shift and settle at first. Ours did fit pretty well though so no complaints.

Any more questions just let me know!

Thanks for the info Jake!

I think I'll also take your comments earlier on the thread and try to work with JJ at Ultimate to get a setup that works for me. As long as he doesn't mind working with guys who are, umm, older and slower than you

Hoping to get to SEMA and the USCA finals again this year, will stop by and introduce myself.
