Just wondering if you had a go pro on board or some video you could post.
Great looking car.
8's and 10's are perfect for the NASCAR stance!

This would be more interesting IMO, but I am not sure many would be willing to be that transparent.
I would.

I definitely have videos. Check out my YouTube. If you dig through it there are plenty of Bee videos with different angles. I also have a few using the TrackAddict app. Let me know what you think.

Willows, California. It’s about 1.5hours north of Sacramento.
Thanks so much to directing to the video. Back in the 80's, we ran a 69 GTX with a similar set up at LimeRock. We took in track days with the Porsche club out of NJ.
Killed everyone on the long straight away, then lost time in the turns weighing in 700 pounds heavier.

Used race rubber is fun and the tires themselves are a lot lighter, improving performance.

Willow Springs is a racetrack that is north east of Los Angeles.
The town of Wilows is indeed north of Sacramento.

Unless you've driven there, you wouldn't know. The Highways are listed I-5 to highway 14 EAST.

I have 24+ years of hot road course laps in various mopars, so i may know something. JCC knows nothing about street driven cars set up for hot laps and how the lap times drop with changes made to the car over time and laps. The deflection is blah blah blah as it's the sum of the parts working together.
The people running road course laps are welcome to pm me and i will share my experiences and information, but since JCC is ruining this I have little to contibute on the thread
The concept is to set up the car so it rotates thru the turns at speed, i have such a car that rotates, has no cage, does not flex, rotates, handles flat, impresses everyone [track workers, instructors and participants] at the track [lol] and it runs the number for hot lap for my track on z rated full tread tires. It's a lot of fun when the car gets "inspected" by the lap time nerds.
Front and rear bars etc................................................................................
Autocross is not a good way to determine a cars total handling manners and never does it test the braking system as a road course does. This is not to offend yuse [sic] guys that like autocross - when you have cars like mine only hot laps will satisfy the craving for speed

Great info. please post photo of said car
what tires are you running and are they also street legal or do you swap them on at the track (or trailer the car)?
