Rozelle Camaro USCA Buildup

[JakeR]

Hello everyone,

Many of you already know me or are familiar with the car but I thought I would do my best to share what has gone into our Camaro throughout the past year to take it from the car that was a basic driver with bolt on parts to the beast it is today.



Just a quick note, for the most current information on our racing and the car make sure to follow me on instagram @jakerozelle and on Facebook! You can also check out my website: http://jakerozelle12.wix.com/jakerozelleracing

To start my name is Jake Rozelle, I grew up racing motorcycles off road in Southern California with my dad Roy and this year switched over to primarily competing in cars, focusing on the USCA series while also doing Goodguys and countless local autocrosses. My dad bought this 1969 Camaro RS for his 40th Birthday 10 years ago with the white paint and the black stripes already on it. I was only 10 years old at the time.

Throughout the first 9 years of ownership we did purely bolt on mods, outfitting the car with front Global West tubular control arms and their rear leaf springs. We also upgraded the brakes with c5 corvette components and my dad had a 536hp 400ci gm bow tie block small block built that found its way into the car. The car rode on American Racing hopster wheels with 245/18 front tires and 275/18 rear tires with Falken rubber. We began autocrossing the car like this and that is where it all started.
