Thanks!

That initial photo was the completed pic and my next update will cover the paint change, the whole new front end, etc. which was when we added the vents. My posts so far have been catching up to where we are now.

Our current hood that you're referring to is a full carbon hood from Anvil that JCG cut holes in for some vents that they fabbed up and epoxied in place.

I'm still compiling pics and will definitely include more photos of the hood and the vents in both the fabrication stage and completed in the next update.

Man you killed it this weekend. First time at Thunderhill?

Jake - Congratulations!

I was very impressed with your performance, both on track and in the pits, you're much more than just a talented driver. Job well done.

Props for some amazing driving and lap times. Never did I ever think I would see a '69 Camaro run sub 2:00 lap times on 200 tread wear tires at T-Hill. Hopefully you have inspired others to continue to run vintage iron in these events.

Jake,
Great runs this weekend. Having fun and winning
you cannot beat that

I actually saw your car going slow this weekend
because I was following you on the tour and watching
the Chp going by us

Panteracer... Blue Firebird Trans Am this weekend

Thanks everybody! Pretty incredible weekend for us and yes it was my first time at Thunderhill. To run a 1:58 on my last session was pretty exciting and with guys out there like Mike Maier and myself I think we definitely proved that these old cars have some serious speed in them.

I loved that track too.

Bob your car looked so good on that road rally I was watching it the whole time!

I kept expecting some of you guys to pass me since I was driving so slow to keep from getting pulled over, too perfect that CHP passed us going the other way.

One area of Jake's car I really like is suspension travel and weight transfer, many on the forum should take note that fast doesn't require limiting travel and using massive springs and bars, especially on a street car. I'm guessing his setup with a few clicks of compression taken out of the shocks is pretty compliant on the street.
