The OPTIMA Batteries OneLapCamaro - Final Preparations

[olds87]

I like the Pozzi logo also. Wonder who came up with that?

I'm sure it'll be the first one. You guys are great. You should coin that phrase or something.... that b!*ch sticks!

[Payton King]

IS that a wrap or did you paint the 2 tone? Either way it puts your car off the charts....and I thought I was over that treatment.

Looking forward to race updates

The car looks sick now!
And I love the "POZZI TUNED" logo, thats full of all kinds of win.

Cant wait to see some action shots and racing stories.

Thanks Payton (and everybody else) - it's a wrap. Hopefully it offers some protection for the paint and we really wanted to change things up for a while. It should be really cool to see how it looks once all of the event decals are on it and there's a couple of thousand miles of road grime on it.

I wanted to have some fun with David and Mary and after a year or tweaking, tinkering, and experimenting - it really does stick...

A big shout out to Blake and the guys at Speed Tech. This thread started out showing the install of their high clearance control arms and after a long wait we finally got to try them out - both with respect to performance and clearance. Last weekend at RTTC they were put through their paces and, as expected, we had no issues with them.

This weekend in Del Mar we had our new front and rear tires on the car and although it's hard to see any difference in these pictures, there is an inch more tire up front and in back. On the front we went from an 8" rim with 5.4" of backspacing and a 255/35 R888 to a 9" rim with ~6.4" of backspacing and a 275/35 Michelin PS2 - no clearance issues except for a small but acceptable reduction in turning radius. That wouldn't have been possible with our old setup so it's a huge step forward for us and the "final piece" of our front suspension tuning puzzle.

Thanks Blake!

James,

Love all the work you guys have been doing to the car. This project is a great Blueprint for how to build and sort out a top notch street/track car. By the way, I had the opportunity to be in Calgary a couple weeks ago for work. Actually we stayed in Calgary, but the plant was in Exshaw. All I can say is WOW. What magnificent scenery you guys have there. It was breath taking. Best of luck with the race and I look forward to the updates.

That looks awesome James, nicely done

Thanks Chad!

The drive from Calgary to Exshaw is pretty fantastic; hopefully you got a chance to spend some time in Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louis. Better still, I hope that you were around for the warm weather - not the junk we've had this week...

We're going to try our best to have some fun with this and keep everybody up to date but we'll be looking for help from forum members to help pass the word.

Cheers!
