I been waiting for this year for a long time. I'm graduating in May with bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Gonna secure a full time position with benefits to start this summer, pay off school loans, do a few small mods to the z to keep myself satisfied with it, and spend much needed time with the girl and family!

My plan is to keep things picking up for me at my shop so I can make a living comfortably.
Get my truck back together with a healthy 6.0, freshen up her wrx, and get the turd gen together with its turbo 5.3, before July when our new baby gets here and I have no more free time lol

maintenance priority to my s10, needs suspension work, tires, and door latch welding.
T/A needs a battery, not sure if I plan on doing much more to her than just swapping out the seats and keep her clean.

Unfortunately, my goal this year is to sell the Camaro. Need to move onto other things. That includes retiring from the spec drags. It's a great car, but I just don't use it enough to warrant keeping it.

Sorry to hear it Bryan.

I definitely hope everything works out A-OK for you.

Maybe I will regret getting rid of it, but I think it's definitely the right thing to do. The past few years I probably have done about 3-4 events a year. I have only autoxed with it once in the past few years. We want to sell the house and go down to 1 car for me. Who knows where we will be living.. might be in California. My wife tells me if we move there then I can buy a Corvette Stingray

So Cal I assume.


As for me I will be moving back to Boston/Cambridge and selling the Cts-v finally and replacing it will something boring. Hopefully getting a new jerb but who knows.


Camaro stuff:
I will be going to the following Pro Solo Events and competing.

Washington Dc Pro Solo
New Jersey Championship Tour
Ayer Ma Match Tour
Ohio Pro Solo/ Championship Tour

My personal goal is to win 2 or more pro events this year but that might be asking to much.

As far as car wishlists go, here it is the list:

Stuff I'm buying:
1.Fayes 2 Watts link
2.SS brakelines
3.New Hoosiers

Stuff I want:
1.NASA/SCCA approved roll cage
2.De coupled torque arm
3.rebuilt motor
4.C5Z Speedline (4) 10.5x18
5.Some sponsorship to help costs, I just need to start winning more.
6. To own a C5Z they are amazing even today with the newer vettes out they still hold there own.
