Hey guys, it's been a while since I last visited, but I've been having fun road racing my 2014 Camaro SS 1LE.
My road racing addiction started here, at frrax. I learned a bunch of stuff here when I had my '95 Z28 (in avatar). So to some of you long time members/administrators, I just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It's been over 10 years since I started open tracking. Still doing it at Pitt Race (BeaveRun), mostly with SCCA's Track Night in America. I also did the Northeast Musclecar Challenge in August at Pitt Race, for which long time member, Sam Strano, took the Late Model Championship. I sold my'95 Z28 in July of '09 and eventually got back into a Camaro in 2014 with my SS 1LE.

Got a CG-Lock from ApexPerfromance for use in my 95 Z28. I have my 3rd track day coming up a BeaveRun 8/22, figured I would try one out. On my way to work there is a couple nice quick right-lefthanders and sweeping corners. Does a pretty good job of keeping my rear planted in the seat. Didn`t have to "hold on" to the streering wheel.

UPDATE: I removed the For Sale option as I`d probably have trouble finding just two 17X9.5s IF I SOLD my pair of 17X11s. Sorry.
I`m going to 275s all around so I need get rid of my (2) AFS 17X11 +50mm polished ZR1 wheels, with the old style lip and deep hub. AFS` current ZR1 wheels have a different outer lip, they call it a "more modern look". They won`t match my ZR1s circa 2005. Excellent Condition, straight, no road rash, TRADE for (2) AFS 17X9.5 +56mm polished ZR1 wheels, of course with the older style lip. Want a pair that are also in excellent condition, no road rash, straight. ! - Pictures and more info on request! PM me! I have webshots.com album now, so I can send picture links instead of sending pics through the email! If you want to Email me at: mmb1211@juno.com -Chad Barnhart Johnstown, PA 15905 cdb95z28

Hello all,
Wow, what a thrill. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) I had no point-bys, and got some compliments on my car. A gentleman w/ a brand new BMW 535xi was surprised I passed him twice considering as he said "I thought Camaros were straight line cars" I told him some of you guys have better rides than this. It was great to get in "a zone" and hustle the car. Car felt really good. It started understeering real bad after the front tires got real hot (275 NT555) near the end of a session. Brakes (TrackBrackets/ZO6 brakes/Severn ducts/HT10s) worked fantastic and I think I didn`t use them to their fullest. Ambients were in the low 90s w/ high humidity. Oil temps got to 270* late in the last/3rd session, because I was really reving it to my 6400 redline. Mobil 1 5/40 / OE Oil cooler/ straight water/Water Wetter. Water temps slowly crept up to 200* or so. My last three laps I did notice a puff of smoke at the top of 3rd gear starting down the front stretch. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) It`s running fine though. Turns 1-4 are really fun. My instructor, Graham, a British fella, kept pushing me to go thru 2,3 full throttle. I`m glad he was a "pusher". I met a guy in a 95 `Vette and his instructor was holding him back. 7-10 were great also. 7, being a blind apex was a blast. Graham pushed me to do 8 & 9 full throttle (4th gear). Full throttle thru 9 then not much time to slow down for 10. I was practicing some heel-toe too. While I have 382 RWHP, the straights are no problem, but I could run with the other cars in my group thru the turns. WRX, Lotus Elise, RX8. Maybe they weren`t pushing their cars as hard as I was? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) In the other group there was a Ferrari 360 Strasdale Challenge. He spun it in turn 7. I bet he`s glad that`s all he did was just a spin! Super nice car. There was a 600HP C6 ZO6, Exige, some old Porsches, lotsa Minis (one was Grahams) and Chris Gleason (from Johnstown) had his Grand Am Cup/Koni Challenge M3 out for a corporate event giving rides to his guests. I tended to apex a little too early, and brake too early. I want to thank all of you for giving much info here at FRRAX to help us road race virgins!
