Camaro running on an open track day at Calif Speedway trying to hang with a vintage GT40 racecar from out of turn 4 to just after turn 11 aproaching the bridge.


Turn 5 sweeper I hung right with him not loosing any distance

The high HP GT40 pulls away down the short straight

In and trough 6

Out of 7, and out of 8 approaching 9

In and out of turn 9

Closed gap on GT40 after distance gain from 5-6 straight. Through turn 10-11 chicane

Out of 11. GT40 is gone again down the long straight- goodbye GT40, I had only 165hp, This was with the 2.8L motor in the car. Building a much more powerful 3.5L but still a lightweight 60*V6.

Fun tires for the 89 Chev 1/2 worktruck to play with- got them free off a Latemodel team I crew on. They were heatcycled with 8 laps and the car went down. Owner has cash for new tires each week. I grabbed them and am pputting them on some spare rims I have for my daily driver worktruck and want to take it out autoxing one day for fun. Motor pic in my sleeper worktruck.
