How about Buttonwillow for $99

[David Pozzi]

Here's a great pic of me driving Penny!
Many thanks to Steve for letting me get behind the wheel for a few laps!
I had a great time except when Penny lost a rear brake caliper! I wish I'd had time to really look the car over prior to the track day, Penny only arrived last Monday, and it's been a hectic week!



A little advice to Camaro racers, - re-torque your subframe bolts at least once a year! Penny's were below spec on torque, and we have seen this on Mary's Camaro too!

Just a little loose.. more like snug.

I KNEW I should have done a bolt check.. all we did was pound the snot of her all summer.

We spent all day today on her.. cleaned top and bottom and every bolt checked.

We removed all the unused parking brake crap and knocked off 5-lbs of unsprung weight!

Car looks good now.. except for that missing caliper.. DOH!


Great seeing everyone and I will work to get up a few pics. The sun angle (and my position) sucked, but I got a few good ones.

When's the next one?

If all that happened was the subframe got a bit loose for all that Penny has been put through this summer then that is a great testament of the quality of work that went into her. She is an awesome ride and will look forward to getting another ride in her, I am willing to help you with Penny anyway I can Steve. Now we need to get OLC and Penny to the same track at the sametime, sorry I know it will be a ton of work for Daivd and Mary if both are running the same weekend (you have my assistance when you need it). I have some pretty good picture of the worst attrition of the day, Penny's loss of a brake caliper. Let this be a warning to all of us that safety is more than just cages, fire exingushers, and safety belts, it includes a standard safety check list of to do things before a track day. Mary and I discussed this for a few minutes when we were there. Mary if you and David would not mind, I think that putting up the check list you go through for Mary's Camaro would be good for all of us here.

Yea, doing a bolt check was on my list but I ran out of time and didn't make it to the Pozzi's place to do it. Hell, it was fine in TN, but the truth is that it just hadn't broken yet. I checked around the car when I got there but with no lift I didn't get far under the car. Learned my lesson.

So the moral is to check ALL your bolts.. even the ones you forget about like the subframe bolts.

Good seeing you and we will have to get the One Lap and the Penster out to a nice autox to do battle.. he already has me beat in the "nice car" catagory, that thing is sick.

Considering all we did is run the car all summer I pretty happy that this was the biggest problem. Time for an oil change.
