I saw this car in person at the Costa Mesa event and it's unfreakin' real. I was just totally blown away. It's a real masterpiece. It's another example of why none of the magazines will respond to my submittals....because of truly exceptional builds like yours!!!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Congratulations man! Well done!

Hey everybody - thanks for the kind words and compliments I really do appreciate them.

When Scott asked me about writing something for the feature I was a little bit unsure of what to write. Over the last three years, there have been so many posts about the car I really didn't want to rehash stuff that people had seen, or read, before; the last thing that I want to do is bore people with the same old same old. Instead I thought that I would offer some background on how I got to the point that I was able to put the car together. Like I tried to say in the write-up, the OneLapCamaro didn't just "happen" - nor did my skills, goals, or ability. It took time, trial and error, and constant (personal) growth. And it took help - lots of help.

On that note, though, I would be happy to answer any questions on parts, pieces, or whatever... assuming I make it through Del Mar in one piece. I'm still finding new and exciting issues to deal with and while I was hot lapping on the autocross course today another one came to light - darn... Nothing major but tore up a tire pretty good. I think I have is sorted out for tomorrow but only time will tell.

John... the brakes are manual (no boosters). The pedals and master cylinders are by Tilton; the reservoirs are from CV products.

And while I'm here - thank you so much to everybody (people and companies) who have helped me to this point - I could not have doen this without all of you. And special recognition to my sponsors, who helped me out despite the fact that I am just a nobody hobbiest from Canada:

Chris Heighton and the crew at Heighton Restorations
Marquez Design - American Touring Specialties - ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System - Rick's Stainless - Tilton - Ididit - Lateral Dynamics
