I think that video blogs and all that would be followed a lot, but as far as the track teaching goes only a small group i think would be able to go to the tracks that you are at, if there was one anywhere within 2.5 hours of me i would attain but i think all the above are good ideas.

I'd like to make some track days at NHMS and/or Watkins Glen this upcomming year, so #1 would be great on the chance that you could attend any of those, but I would absolutely follow any blog/video series you put out there. Even though I have a V6, the 318 hp I have it up to is the most of any car I've ever owned and I've been wanting to know how to get the most out of it. I'm also always wondering which upgrades are worth the money, so I guess I'm saying I like all of the ideas mentioned!

Sorry so late to reply...
1- Not sure I'll make it to track days, but if I did, definitely interested in shotgun coaching!
2 &3 - Blog series on driving tips as well as aftermarket video blog - yes!
4 - on aftermarket mods, ease of install, tune required, best bang for the buck.

Jeff,

All the above would be great. I have had one track day that went well. I also AutoX and was told by some that I would never win a race, car to heavy. Well I proved them wrong 2 weeks ago. But I had to learn how to drive the car which is much different then driving my 2002. I have heard that the SCCA may let us with 20" wheels move down to 19" wheels so we can run Comp Tires. I also wish that Chevy would make 19" wheels an option for us with SS cars.

Sign me up. I'm driving my car down from Alaska to make the Camaro5Fest in April. That would be awesome to have some track time.

I for one would follow a video and blog series and would definitely enjoy the track testing of new performance parts!!...see how the products perform BEFORE you buy...Thats a no brainer there! Also, as many others might agree...I could use some help getting my baby off the line without a puff of smoke so the driving tips would be more than welcomed. I really hope you do this...I look forward to seeing it come to fruition.
Thanx,
Chuck

Here are the couple of questions I have for everyone.

1. How many of you would be interested in having me out to do some driver coaching at track day events? (I can ride in the right seat giving you driver tips and I can also give you hot laps showing you the proper way to drive a Camaro FAST!!!)
2. How many of you would follow me if I did a video series on a blog that gives driving tips on and off race tracks?
3. How many of you would follow me if I did a video series on new after market Camaro products that I took to race tracks testing them and giving my feedback on how well they really perform?
4. What other things would you be interested in me covering if I had a Camaro Performance Driving Blog/video?

Btw....I am still working on my 2011 racing plans! At this point it looks good I will be back in the #6 Sunoco Camaro racing in Grand-Am.

I am a huge, huge fan of the Camaro and I really want to share my knowledge on what I have learned about the Camaro as I have raced it and done most of the development work on the Camaro Race Car.

Cheers!

Everyone should support Jeff to the MAX!
