That's really cool that you and your dad are able to share the same interest and compete in an event against one another.

Yea we do compete in the same class, both are modded almost identical, we both win our fair share against each other. Engine mods: cc306 cam, Lt,elec waterpump,pcm tuning. Its off season right now so my dad has been doing exhaust work his set up is pacesetter lt custom y that comes up thru the passenger side floor and out the door with 4 in exh. Weight wise they have never been weighed but if I had to guess possibly around 3000, maybe 2900. No we live in Fort Worth but sometimes he takes tows his car to work on race weekends and its out that way. Thanks for all the comments!

Here is a vid, sorry for the quality solid motor mounts make the camera sound horrible at idle.

That looks like a lot of fun! So did y'all start with project cars or did y'all buy nice cars and cut them up?

the trans am was bought new in 96 was a weekend car up until about 2 years ago, I have had the camaro 6 1/2 years and daily drove it for 5 1/2 years then finally got a trailer and started gutting it. the wings are for downforce to help keep rear end planted around corners especially high speed ones, and under heavy breaking rear likes to get light.

1. Badass! You have any more videos of longer tracks?
2. I was wondering about the wings as well. You didn't get out of second gear, so I can't see them helping at all on this track.
