Very cool looking race car love to see nascar use the camaro

Its going to be a great event. I build the dampers on this and most of the others that are hitting the track this weekend. I have worked track support at alot of these races over the past 3 years. It will be very cool to see the new Camaro, mustang and challenger togeather.

after 15 laps, Donohue has improved position 2 places and put Roush behind him where he belongs

after 20 laps, from 13th to 8th place

dropped back after a caution ~ 22nd lap, but it looks like the car has the capability of being very competitive.

33 laps and he's behind Roush again, I think Donohue pitted during caution but Roush didn't? They should have televised this, looks like some good racing!

So I notice speed channel is not covering the race today...

chevydude26 · 10-04-2009, 12:58 PM

BLACK10 · 10-04-2009, 01:00 PM

2010_5thgen · 10-04-2009, 01:24 PM

its weird to see a new camaro with such small wheels on it. i know its for a race car, it just looks different. very cool car.

Mr Twisty · 10-04-2009, 01:29 PM

They're racing now...

http://laptrax02.racersites-cluster....SERIES=K&TEST=

3rd place after 34 laps... Passed Roush... Again!

...After 40 laps, it's obvious they have a very good car on their hands, and Donohue is doing a great job! they're gonna be a force to be reckoned with next year.

Mr Twisty · 10-04-2009, 01:48 PM

He's pushing the 2nd place Porsche around the track now, and 5 seconds behind the leader... Is anyone else watching the timing page?

edit: Looks like something broke around lap 57, but they were sure pushing the leaders up to that point! Congrats guys, looks like you have a very competitive car, next year should be good.

Looking forward to your comments, and hope someone was taping, wish I could have made it.

yea something broke from what I can tell on the Koni website. They are like 30 laps behind leader, meaning they are out of the race :(

Yeah, but it was a good race to that point... Donohue took the car from 13th starting place to 3rd place at one point with some great lap times up to mid-race, then it looks like there was a pit and driver change, and Bucknum was holding his own and running decent lap times till the 57th lap.

Man I hope they either televise these or put them online as a video to watch later.

Me too. Considering how much time they've had to get the car ready, and that they were holding their own to mid-race, I bet they're very pleased... I am
