Professional Driving Tips for Camaros
Hey Everyone,
I am the Pro-Driver of the Sunoco Camaro #6 that races in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Challenge Sports Car Series. I would really like to start going to all types of Camaro gatherings around the country to share some DRIVING TIPS! 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! Jeff Bucknum www.sunococamaromerchandise.com |

jbucknum - let us know if you come up to Salt Lake City. We can gather plenty of Camaro drivers to meet you out at Miller Motor Sports Park!

#1 for sure, the rest I would definitely read/watch if they were interesting enough
What else might be good for a blog or video, is possibly describing/video taping some of the terms used when talking about performance vehicles and what it exactly means. For example, under-steer, really for the layman, it really does not mean anything other than a word used by some one that knows what they are talking about when pushing their cars. If you were to do a video on a car that under-steers and one that is setup correctly, people could understand what it really means. That is all I could think of off the top of my head while working, but it all sounds good to me.

Jeff,
Count me in ANYTIME (after I receive my new baby in production now!). As a former 10 year Ambulance Driver Trainer/Fleet Manager and paramedic, I thank you for initiating this. The cross section of people driving this wonderful vehicle is amazing. Youthful drivers to seniors (a 100 year old on Youtube with a new Camaro!!!), you can never have enough information to keep you safe. Sometimes it takes a bit more than common sense. That has to be combined with learned skill sets that someone like you can provide at a much higher level. Thanks for stepping up. I know there are plenty of people in this Camaro community that would drool over the opportunity to have you sitting next to them as a coach. Wishing you much much success over the next year! We want to see the Camaro win all events it enters!

I'm interested, I consider myself a fair driver but I'd love to hit a road course next summer and give it a go with some knowledge and a greater understanding of the driving dynamics of my Camaro.
