Brian's Camaro in action!
Here you can see video footage of Brian Holcombe's Camaro at the drag strip! I talked about this with Brian, and here's what he had to say:It's my Gold Camaro going 11.41 [elapsed time, seconds] at 115 [maximum speed] MPH with a 1.50 [seconds] 60-ft time.This "60-ft time" pertains to the first 60 feet of the race, and is used to measure acceleration efficiency. It can reveal traction problems. Brian goes on:
It's extremely quick for a pump-gas 385" small block-powered 3300-pound Camaro. As far as the suspension goes, I've been tuning [British Columbia's racer-chassis designer] Alf Wiebe's Camaro traction bar setup. Through suspension tuning I've improved my elapsed times from 11.60 to 11.34, and improved my 60-ft times from 1.65 to 1.50. My traction has improved over competition engineering j-bolt traction bars.
