You know what's sad and funny is, I' pulled up to a race one time and ppl didn't know what my car was. Meaning they don't see enough of them out racing. But when when we do show up it's a show of wow **** that's fast.

Hey what's up! I moved to Bakersfield last September to start college and I rarely ever see other Fbodies, especially Trans Ams. I'm usually the only trans am at events around here lol. Follow me on Instagram if you have one @LTX_Nicko, we should meet up sometime

Oh yeah, I've tired plenty of times to start one. Had few cars but never followed through. Called it Cencal speed. Now I just stay back and work on the cars when needed.

heres the registration for the event. http://www.camarilloautocross.com/ra...istration.html
I'm shooting for the 17th... hopefully my car will be drivable. My steering column is out at a mechanics shop to get the play fixed because SOMEONE sold me a "good" column on here I ordered one of those oversized pivot pins after the 2 weeks of waiting for a response from the shop . I have more I want to do to the car after I get the column back but less than a week to do it is cutting it close.

Oh yeah, I've torn those part, bolts get loose in there. Might try buttonwillow little closer for me. But get some pics if you do go.

nah its the pivot pins not the bolts, and GM doesn't sell the lower housing anymore. but for sure, I'll be using a go-pro or 2 if I go too.

I guess talk to anyone that is interested. Or we meet up first and see if what we could do from this. Where we'd like to go with it.
