Snorting before the beast charges.

Since things are balanced out now it's so much better to drive on the track. It was pretty scary when every shift the left rear tire would break loose. I was about ready to get rid of that spray stuff... But now it's just a huge kick in the A$$ and tons of fun.

Who would have thought that balancing your car would make such a difference,.

How does one find such a person to do the corner weighing? I live in Bucks County PA.

Corner balancing can typically be done at your local race shop. If you don't have any tracks in your area they can be scarce, but typically someone in your local SCCA, Porsche Club of America, BMW Car Club of America, or NASA region will know someone who can get your car on scales.

Keep in mind that getting corner weights on a car with stock suspension can yield interesting results like posted above, but will more than likely give you data without much use for a car that sees only street time.

Is your Camaro on stock coils, aftermarket coils or coilovers?

Have you been down to that place on 2nd Street? I don't know if they are still there or not as it was probably 6 years since I was there last but they helped us on our Corvette race car a few years ago.

Btw, Perkasie is a small town and this is the first time EVER I have heard of anyone else who lives there lol. I used to live on N 7th Street right across the street from the court house.

There is also a Corvette guru up on Old Bethlehem Pike that I believe is building a new shop that could help. He was my race mechanic for our La Carrera Pan Americana Race down in Mexico.
