ALL the Rolex race's will be aired live on Speed. Most of the Koni races are aired also, just not usually live.
Thanks for the support. Spread the word, and hope to see a lot of you at the races. Stop by the Garage and/or rig's and show your support and meet the drivers and crews.

We have a number of compliments on the head lamp covers. I have to agree, they look great. Would be nice to see them as a purchasable item for street cars.....we are looking into it

Nice car, can't wait for the season to begin. Pratt & Miller did our world challenge corvette back in the day. Best in the business.

The car was loaded yesterday evening and off to Daytona. Actually as I write this they should be at the track unloading, doing final checks and getting ready to hit the track.

The wheels that are on the car are just the setup wheels. I believe they are looking into some with a little more offset.

Looking good! Did you save any weight using the Camaro body?

Be sure and update us on how the testing goes

And for those that don't know... The stickers on these cars have a purpose... They DO make the car go faster

this is going to be awesome

im huge pontiac racing fan, you guys did a great job with the gxp.r the past 2 years, sucks you guys had a bunch of heartbrakes 2nd half last year, but the new camaro looks great and should start where the pontiac left off. are you guys using the same driver line up in the 57?

bwindham · 12-08-2009, 03:21 PM

I can't wait for the racing season to start again!!

Yes we had a few issues last season, but we believe we have those issues corrected.
Robin and Andrew are back on board for another season.

Today at the end of practice we were in P1 so things are looking good so far. No Mechanical issues today, so....so far so good. On the road to being ready for the 24hr long race. The roar before the 24 will be interesting. It will be my first one, so I am siked. I will be car chief on the Number 9 Koni Camaro. Which is still in the process of being built, so there will be a lot more sleep less night between now and the January test.

OK thats absolutely amazing :| I was always a huge fan of the GXP.R cars... glad to see the Camaro come in GT racing...

it is my ultimate want in life to be racing in the Rolex series... i'm working my way up

Racing LS class in SCCA in the NW region

BeermanSS · 12-09-2009, 05:50 PM

Congrats guys, I'm glad to hear that the testing went well. I guess a lot of those aerodynamic concerns were unfounded. Can't wait to see you guys in action.

SMPdude · 12-09-2009, 08:46 PM

I have not spoke with the team manager or the crew chief as of yet, so I have not final word on how the over all testing went. I am flying out to Orlando in the Morning to meet up with them for the PRI show. I will find out the details then.
MerlinZero....Keep plugging away. It can happen. The Grand-am series is growing every year.
