Budget '69 Camaro Track Car - NO WHINERS!

[Ron in SoCal]

Love the before and after. Car looks meaner with age, just like its owner...

Yes wheel time in the car is what makes
us faster and more confident. I can jump
in the Pantera and run any track as it has
been the same for about 6 years (except the
200 tires I had to put on it for Optima)

My firebird has been down for many years and
before I could drive the wheels off that car
I have changed so many things it is hard to
get used to it (plus I am still changing things-
new springs just showed up today)

Get it set and then start relearning the car
I told one of my buddies that just started out
it takes time but eventually you and the car
become one.. that is what we strive for

I think our problem now is we have so many things
we can adjust that it takes a while to figure out
what works and what does not

Back in the day I drove my firebird with springs too
soft the ball joints almost falling off but boy could
I drive that car

Keep at it as the track times are the best
My Pantera buddy use to say "its all about Racing
everything else is just waiting" I think he stole
that saying from Steve Mcqueen

"Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting." AND I HATE WAITING

[Panteracer]

Regardless, I'll figure it out.

One of the major reasons I don't keep lap times and stuff..... We just don't get enough seat time. It's like expecting to play par golf when you play twice a year. Just play and enjoy the day. Just drive the course and stay on track and have fun.

I liked your car, I kind of took a little peek at it. But I don't recall seeing it on track, what group were you running? I was busy fiddling with my car most of the day anyways.. Your car sure looks mean though, I liked it! For a camaro
