Testing & tuning today! Spent a whole day adjusting shocks, ride height, negitive camber, changing brake pads.. But it was well worth it.. The end results were all positive.. except that we need to change the bad gears we have in rear diff..

Got to thank Dave & Mary for coming out & helping with tuning & driving the car to let us know what changes needed to be done..

The Camarillo Airport was a great place for us to do runs & testing.. The nice thing about renting it out for the day was all the run time we got in.. Mary would drive it.. come in adjustments.. & back out.. Plus a few of my friends we able to squeeze in some practice time..

These are the only pics I got .. cause I was busy wrenching on the car.. We will have some videos here pretty soon with other pics from a few of the guys that were out their with me..

Ok, that was an awsome day with Cris, Mary, Dave and the crew testing Blu-Balz. Thanks for inviting me and the Fab53 Camaro.

So, this is the story in short form. Testing and tuning means nothing UNLESS you have the right crew with experience to understand and communicate what is needed for a car to get quicker... and/or fine tuned.

These two videos are partial documentation and evidence of the hard work put into such a fine machine as JCG's 68 Camaro Blu-Balz. In the first video, which is earlier in the day, I was able to keep BB close in my GoPro sights with minimal struggles.

But, in the second video, which is later in the day, you will see that it became harder for me to keep a close shot of BB. She was able to pull away with ease. The car became faster and Mary became more comfortable with what she could do with it. This is a true testament to what a great driver, Mary Possi, a great crew, Dave Possi Cris Gonzo and team can do with a pro-touring machine.

Enjoy. And Cris.... I have more shots that I will send to you directly.

Thanks again for a great day out with a fun bunch of people.
