The Roaring Season

Steve, should the opportunity arise again, I'd like to attend both rounds.
Yes I had great time, may need to buy some new tyres next time

Great weekend of racing at Levels with the HMC boys. Lots of new friends made, great group of guys Big thanks to Glenn ( sideways) Allingham for the tyres, and to Tony Mexted for the replacement front tyre after I flat spotted in Qualy. Love to come play again ( if i'm invited back) next time your ...

Rear End: The best production Chevy rear end for competition use in period was the 12 bolt. Light and strong, it coped well with the rigours of competition use. This is what was fitted to all Trans-Am Camaros. It makes sense for me to fit either a Chevy 12 bolt or Chevy 10 bolt to my car. I’d s ...

Thanks Steve, lovin it !!

Guess that depends what side of the fence you are on, investment or lending.
Seems when the economy slows luxury and hobbies are first to suffer.

Yes too true

Perhaps with the apparent "slowing" of the economy, hobby funds are more limited and people are spending more time on there businesses ??

$1000 a set sounds like the right money.
The Kumho V700 that CMC ran at one point lasted well, ( have been told nearly a season)

Need to work on those guns Dale

Great, I like the look
Progress is been made, engine getting built, sadly need to keep busy with work to keep the race car fund alive, oh for sponsorship......

Can a XA have a bonnet scoop in HMC ?

Nice build Dave, love the injection

Steve,

Cheers, but taking no credit for its current performance, thinks its had several large bundles of $$ thrown at it!, new owner does say its the nicest build in the feild

Hi,
The number 85 Camaro in post #27 is a ex kiwi car I built up, never ran sold to Au. Gets plenty of use now in TCM

That's a great look, 10's look excellent on the front

Dale reckons it`s costing me 1 - 2 seconds a lap, being a telly tubby is probably another 2 seconds, but I`m happy with how it goes!. Thanks, It would be interesting to actually know. I have a mate who runs in CMC, he's ones of the faster one and no power steering......... No pump and lines save a ...

Hi, Looks like heaps of fun. How do you find no power steering ?

Richie, No, No, No you are not attacking HMC at all, I understand that!! I mention the turbo Porsches because this is what you’ll have to race with at events like the Skope seen you’re in Christchurch!! they seem to chuck all the V8’s in with anything considered to be fast regardless of any rules!!( ...

[color="#0000FF"][/color] Richie, Murray Brown's 70 Camaro is an excellent example of a person that built or put his car back to HMC specs and with just a wheel change they can race with the other "Race Series" type muscle car groups. This allows him to race at "Historic" events like the Festival of ...

I don’t believe we have too many Muscle class’s Richie, we live in a “free” democratic society so anyone can start any group they so wish, and all the more for them. Lot of the problem I see is the use of the word “Muscle” as this seems to spread from a “historically correct saloon” rite out to late ...
