I talked to you briefly about the color in between rounds, love it! I think your car and your attitude are what these events are all about.

If you haven't already, you should post a picture and a lil back ground on what's been done, whatever it is it clearly works! Subtle lil car with mufflers hangin out the back haulin ass!
Nice work!

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Hello Dan,

Yes. I was having fun, and thanking my lucky stars that the event was just a little more than an hour from home at a great track with great weather. I really hope the event returns to Laguna Seca next year.

The car is pretty basic. Here it goes:

Suspension: Global West Springs front coils & rear leafs, Koni replacement shocks. 1" Addco front AR bar & 3/4" rear bar modified to reduce stiffness. The geometry is stock (I tried the Gulstrand, & it didn't work for me). 16:1 manual quick steering box.

Tires: 255/40-17 BF Goodrich Rival's.

Brakes: C4 Corvette 12" front & '96 Z28 Camaro rears. '77 Malibu master cylinder. Summit proportioning valve. Need 12" to fit with the stock rally wheels for normal use.

Motor: 1st gen Iron block 350 with a 400 crank. Comp 274 cam, AFR 180's, Edelbrock Qjet RPM manifold, Summit 750 carb, Custom modified Hedman headers.

Transmission: TK500. It cruises down the freeway at 1900rpm: ) 3.42:1 gear out back.

Regards

Hello Rob,

Yes they are. Here's what was put on:

(2) 2 1/2" Walker Super Turbo mufflers 17733's
(2) Walker hangers WLK-35103

Ordered from Summit.

36" of 1.5" angle iron for connecting to the bumper. There was a little sawing & drilling, but it was pretty easy.

You can hear it at the 12:00 point on this video:

I luckily got on camera during a Big Muscle Episode. I did the test day Mary Pozzi recommended with HOD.
