View Full Version : Gunner at a Waterford Raceway Open Track Day

I’m finally getting Gunner sorted out. Had a chance to try some new shock calving in the JRI shocks. I also tried some new Pagid brake. The car worked great. The stock LT4 engine is just enough power for a small track like Waterford. Of all the cars I’ve ran at Waterford this is the fastest one I’ve ever ran there. I think the 900 hp cars are a handful on this tiny track.

All the temp were good for a 85 degree day. No leaks. Engine bay is clean!

On the fun side most people at a track day like this do not expect an old Camaro to go as fast as this car does. The patina appearance adds to the fun.

I love that you left the 307 emblems on the front fenders also!

Track looks fun, nice driver's track. Not many places for point bys though...

Car looks like it's getting sorted pretty well, glad you are finally getting to spend some time wheeling it.

307hp on the left side and 307hp on the right side - probably pretty close.. :)

Is it a camera optics thing or is that track really that narrow?

No it is a narrow track that is 60 years old this year. Cool place that is 30 minutes from my house.

Nice that you have a Track 30 Minutes from home! Even the closet GoKart Track is 50 minutes for me. Best I had it was before 9/11, MacDill AFB (I was 5 minutes away) used to let us Auto-X on a un-used Runway. We were able to set up courses that were up to a Mile and half.

E85 or gasoline on a stock LT4? Looks like plenty of power for the track.

Just pump 93 on a stockish LT4
