Here was the cake topper.

We took the Camaro to Atco Raceway last night. Great air, good prep. Left the car as it is, with the 20 year old hard as a rock tires and everything just to get a good baseline. I ended up hurting the transmission on my 3rd pass, but this was the best pass of the night. I think it'll go 12's with a good set of tires and if I get the wheel hop situation taken care of and get that 60 foot down to the 1.8XX range. A few people came up and were wondering why I was &quot;beating on&quot; an original Z/28. I had a good laugh at that one.

Excellent! These guys out there that have these cars that do not race them have no idea what they are missing out on, at least have one in your collection you can take to the track and race. I had one older customer (67 years old) that would come by my shop and talk about racing before he went to nam, then had a family and never raced again, same with all his friends, but that didn't stop him and his friends from filling up barns with muscle cars, well one day I said John why don't you stop talking about racing and just start racing, why don't you do what all your old friends talk about? He says well......you really think I should, your dam right you should, Today....John is almost 68 years old, he looks forward to the start of racing season, he changed his life, this summer he wheeled his 10 sec wheels up small block Camaro at many high altitude races and had the time of his life........I couldn't be more proud! You old timers out there should consider this post....change your life
