So I made it out to SAAC 41 and got in several track sessions.
First upgrades to the car were :
Canton 7 quart race pan
Wilwood race pads for front
Hoosiers TD race tires
Better seat belts
Larger aluminum radiator
Comp seat from Kirkey
Had a blast but many glaringly obvious upgrades were needed. Car needed a bunch of camber that I couldn't get without major mods. Also, lots of body roll. So, the next round of changes were made.
Custom made rear roll bar
Modified upper a-arms for more camber adjustability
Splash shield for gas cap
Lowered ride height
Waterford Hills Vintage races allowed me to enter the car last weekend, and got to test the next ground of upgrades. Tons more planned but I'm getting closer. Still lots of body roll and will definitely need better shocks and heavier springs.
Plans for this fall.
Strip off anything that doesn't make the car faster (except paint !)
Bigger brakes
Shocks/springs
More horsepower
5 speed trans
Here's a couple of pics from Waterford
