"legal for AI and AS"....? Why are they worried about breaking in the LS3 driveline if they have to run a carb'd 305 in AS?.....did I miss a rule change in AS....?

Nice.

Will watch this with much interest. I was hoping someone would run a new camaro.

I wonder given the 6 cylinder power if that could actually be a hot setup also.

Sounds like it's Brian Groth's car.... Anybody ever buy his old AI car?

Maybe. Last year SCCA made some Touring 2 class cars with limited prep AS legal.

They have to carry a lot of weight and are also underpowered, but they are legal.

 

The 2010 Camaro might, therefore, be AS legal with the factory power train thru the T2 rule allowance.

 

That said, those rules are written to keep the standard prep AS cars at a significant advantage to any T2 car.

I talked to him a few days ago and he's still got it.

 

He ran the new Camaro completely stock at MAM a couple of weeks ago for a shakedown. He said he ran out of brakes a few times but he was still on the stock pads. Ran strong the whole day but he said he could really feel the extra weight.

Correct. For those interested, he's advertising the current car for sale, and also providing a link to his new car build, as linked above.

Hello everyone,

 

We've updated the web site and the build. http://www.carriagehousecustoms.com/CHCA/2010-SS/Entries/2009/7/17_Entry_1.html

 

We have maintained Brian's mustangs for the last three years and have decided to build(sponsor) a new camaro for American Iron with the help from Pfadt racing and Hyper-Performance Motorsports Inc.

 

Feel free to ask questions or comments.

I think they need a smaller trunk opening, you still may be able to get a bag of groceries in. Looks like fun though!

Yes, the car is still for sale. The market seems to be pretty weak so I will just wait it out. If I still have the car when we head to the track with the Camaro, it might be nice to have this car along to test and compare with.

 

The project is moving along well. The car is down to a bare shell. We got all the sealer and stuff out and Carriage House (Dave and Steve) are building the cage. We hope to have everything mocked up and done inside the car soon, so Dave can paint the car.

 

We have parts of the car in Utah, Wisc, Florida, ect. It is like Christmas every day in anticipation of parts showing up.

 

A special thanks to fellow AI racer Dave Diehl at http://www.hyperperformancemotorsports.com/ for the graphics.

The car has seen the light of the day for the first time today. It in not ready to hit the track yet, but it is pretty darn close. We have been busting our butts to get the car ready to go to nationals. I will be displayed at my sponsors displays (Carriagehouse Customs and Pfadt racing)

 

I hope to fly out Thursday, stop by and say hi.

 

Brian

Does AI have a new window banner, or is this something that you came up with. I like it a lot, but I thought the window banner was standardized as white with a certain font and size.

HAHA! I found what I was looking for without asking Anyways, For basic TT (time Trails I'm assuming thats what that is...) would you need a roll cage with the camaro, I read through the rules and could only find stuff about convertibles Anyways, I have a 2010 Camaro as well, I'm actaully looknig at the entire Pfadt line, and I really want to race this car. I think it would be exciting as all get out

 

P.S. If you have any control over it, there is an email waiting from me at your website lol

We are hoping NASA will see the window banner when the car is on display at nationals and give us the ok to keep it. If we have to change it once we race, we will adhere to the rules. (we love that banner as well)

I do not work for Pfadt, they are a sponsor, but I would be glad to help you out anyway I can. I will PM you with my cell number, feel free to call me and I will get you in contact with the right people.
