Hey everyone! Im a racer from way back,but been out of it for a while.Just gettin back in.Still learning all about this "online" stuff.So forgive me if Im not to sharp with all this.I have a 1983 Z28-406-350trans/wbrake-some NOS(not used yet)10 point DiamondFab chromemolly cage-Spohn coilovers front/rear-mostly Spohn suspension. All Mark williams in the rear. Car has run in low 11's 10 years ago.Ive made changes since then,but still have buggs.havnt got full pass yet motor or NOS.Maybe this spring!If anyone knows Scott from Drivelinesolutions,his car was based off mine over 10 years ago.Now I have a lotta catching up to do!
Here's a pic of my Z28 an my brother's 98 TA(which runs very well,but needs a tune bad) Thanks,Lyle
