PIR Historic Races 6-29-2013

[Sieg]

Decided to road test my Camaro for the first time since the trans install and fire this morning and headed to Portland International Raceway for the Historic Races which is 110 miles north of me on I-5.

I called Bob (96z28ss) when I first hit the track and hooked up with him and his friend's son Dakota who Bob was introducing to motorsports (:thumbsup:) and we went to the grandstands at the chicane on the front straight to watch the big-bore cars heat race and then the group 6 Euro's which ended at the lunch break.

We went and cruised the pits at the break, I didn't have much time so I snapped away with the camera and towards the end of the pit loop I ran into Dale (DaleTx) and we started BS'ing and I'm not sure where Bob and Dakota went! :D

The red 67 Camaro was the highlight for me.......the guy could drive and the car flat performs. Dale and I really enjoyed our 10-15 minute conversation in the pits with the driver. Basics of the motor - Cast iron 302 with cast 2.02 heads, lightened everything inside including Ti valves produces a 9K redline and non-comment horsepower.

Anyway, there was a lot of very nice cars at the event.........wish I could have stayed all day and Sunday too!

Here's all the untouched photo's I took fresh off the card in slideshow format.

You should feel sorry for us. Thanks for being our little ray of sunshine.:action-smiley-027:

Great shots!

That dirt track Fjord looks okay too.

What did Tony Stewart/Jimmy Kimmel think of the action? (Scott, tell me you get it)

I am s.s.s.sorry. Hopefully there's satisfaction in knowing I drove back in humid upper 80's temps with a black vinyl top and no AC........Any thing over 80 is too hot for this Native Northwetter. :D

Had a great time, we kind of seperated a bit and then I couldn't find ya, should of known you'd be at the 67 camaro again.
I love sitting by the chicane, thats were alot of action happens (good and bad) No one went thru the chicane faster than the 67 camaro did it was like it was on rails.
The orange porsche tagged the back of the gold mustang sending it into a spin. They had a group 5 driver meeting after lunch, could of been to talk about the aggressive driving.
It was a hot day out but was so much fun.

I will be heading out to the races at Pacific raceway in Kent this Saturday. I was hopeing to see the gold Mustang. Hopefully it wasn't damaged to much.

That's the one. The car is fine to the best of my knowledge and the car and driver are possibly the closest contenders to the #67 Camaro driven by Kunicki. The Mustang sounds incredible, it was one of the first I heard driving through the pits when I first arrived and it sounds wicked and rev's like a small block. :thumbsup:

The Mustang posted a new video from over the weekend. Rob I think that Dale and Seig were holding out on us Ford guy's. This thing is bad a$$ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU26_YNK9vA

I told you it was a contender! :bitchslap:

What I didn't say it was almost lapped in the second heat race on Saturday by the Camaro. The Camaro packed it up Saturday (certainly due to lack of competition) and headed home to Canada. :mock: :D

Seriously both the Mustang and Camaro are well worth watching due to the drivers and the sound of the motors...........but that little 302 definitely has the 427 covered....IMO

Lol... The Mustang was on the pole with a Corvette second. Those two cars put on a great race and were bumper to bumper the whole time. It was a fun race to watch. Towards the end of the video you can see the nose of the Corvette a couple times and a pass. On the second to last lap the Corvette passed the Mustang in the chicane... and then missed a gear coming out and the mustang got back by. That's a good in car video... I was sorry to see the classic Torino getting lapped by the Mustang though.

dayum, that mustang is HUGE!

That's what happens when a Mustang and an LTD Brougham go out and get drunk one night
