Off season

2007 racing season is over. It was a pretty uneventful season for me this year. I only entered three races this year. With a lot going on with our family and work, unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of time left over for racing. My last race of this season was in October at Pacific Raceways. It was a total rain fest, and I didn’t have any rain tires. To make matters worse, my engine broke another rocker stud during qualifying. So rather than risking racing on slicks in the rain, I decided to bag it for this race and the season.

During this off season I plan to replace all my rocker arm studs with ARP studs, add NASCAR style door bars to my roll cage to conform to the latest SCCA GCR’s, add a fire system, and I’ll probably replace my front control arm bushings. Other than that, the number 31 Camaro should be ready to race at the start of the 2008 racing season that will start sometime in April.

Here are some miscellaneous racing pictures to tide you over during the off season…

Here is a picture of me during a race in Portalnd in June '04.



Here is the 383 stroker engine I installed for the 2006 racing season. It dynos 391 rear wheel horsepower and 393 rear wheel torque.



Here is a picture of the new (C5) Corvette ZO6 front brakes I installed at the beginning of this racing season. This addition resulted in at least 1 full second off my lap times at PR.
