98 Camaro Build
I've been racing this car for at least 12 years and have over 7500 passes on it. It has had a S&W cage with bars ran thru the shock towers. My motor blew a few weeks ago and since I had it apart I figured it would be a good time to do some upgrades on it.
Plan is to cut off all the factory front except the main frame and cut those front cage bars out and have it go strait from the top of the firewall and catch a plate that holds the shocks and then run another tube down behind the shock.
Make one piece front clip and make it easy to work on.
Rewire everything.
Add fuel cell.
I started a weight reduction thread and I guess this one will pick up where that one left off except I am not weighing every single thing I cut out. I am for sure taking it to the scales as soon as it is back together.

About the last time racing in it back in June 2015
Here is my starting point. Not much left on the front anyway.

Oh yeah. Sometimes it gets almost 30 passes a day. It gets double entered in multiple classes(pro, sportsman, street legal, quick 16 etc.) up to 3 days a week. I haven't been racing that much lately, but this car has been down the track a lot. probably more than that.
