You come to this Autocross for the people. Always high energy and beautiful cars. As they say "It's a car show and a race broke out." Are you guys okay if I got beat by a Camaro Z28? Because I did. Good for him, bad for me. It was a big loss at .009 for top time of the day. 1st. in class though.

That's to bad your motor let go. Did you find out why? Nice meeting you too.

I assume a new 5th Gen Z28? Surely you don't speak of a Fbody LOL

Ya figured out why. The valve springs were too big, rubbed the head and filled the motor with aluminum shavings... I assumed everything got clearanced when the head was ported and assembled, but guess not.

Don't worry, I will be out at the next race with a bigger better version this time!

Not sure the year, but maybe 2015.
Having the right valve springs seem so easy, but poor work seems to be everywhere.
