SmokinSS at the Turkey Run

[zerotofear]

Just got back and finished unloading the hauler from taking the SmokinSS Monte Carlo to the Turkey Run (http://www.turkeyrun.com/Turkey_Run_Home.html) at Daytona. There were a lot of people there interested in Pro Touring Events. We had a great weekend. Check out more at SmokinSS.info (http://www.smokinss.info/)

I saw that car there, isn't it a stock car, NASCAR replica, didn't look that close, didn't really look at many cars, was on a parts hunt,

The car does resemble a NASCAR Aero Coupe being that my background is in the Winston Cup arena. We started building these cars in the early ‘80’s and just about had them perfected by the late ‘80’s. The body uses many of the tricks we discovered in the wind tunnel. A lot of these tricks couldn’t be used on the NASCAR tracks but that didn’t stop us from building them in to this car. The car has a nose height of 27 ½ inches at the center of the hood in the front with a quarter panel height of 32 inches at the rear extension. The top is chopped 2 inches, the front end has been extended 2 inches, the windshield laid back to 32 degrees, the rear spoiler is 6 ½ inches tall at 30 degrees of angle. The engine dynoed at 570 hp on 93 octane pump gas with 550 foot pounds of torque. It has a Richmond 5 speed and a 9 inch rear-end with a Detroit Locker. This build has been part of an 8 month Chevy Rumble Magazine project. The purpose was to build a car that could perform well in the Pro Touring events with just minor adjustments. The car has complete tubular chassis, roll cage with a fabricated interior and firewall. The bare chassis completed ready to hang the body weighed 420 pounds. The car utilizes double adjustable AFCO coil-over’s, Speedway Engineering Sway bar and arms, D-M Products rear anti roll bar for drag racing, and Zero To Fear Chassis components and spindles. We spent a lot of time with the adjustability aspect making it easy to change casters; cambers, ackerman, front and rear roll center, weight boxes for static weight changes – all to address the various handling characteristics we might encounter with the different Pro Touring challenges. Can’t wait to start testing this car!
