You should come next year because it was a damn good time & you would have enjoyed the check ride, especially the part where me & Joe T & Jingles tested the suspension system! Oh, I got a "Jerry's Gaskets" hat for you!

Jerry, same here brother. I try to emulate my fellow Brothers of The Beast who lead by example. We have a tight group because of the people and it's just an amazing thing to see!

Okay I found some more picts that came out okay. I got to buy a real camera some day!

"Tested the suspension system", it was more like, "Slow down, slow down, slow down, BAMN!

Hey Joe, wasn't that the suspension compression test on the bridge?

I do not know for sure. It was that white Z parked out back at the NCM and it had a black crinkle finish motor. I think Paul said "take pictures for Pete to use to make this camber brace!" Sooooo, I snapped some picts for engineering purposes......

Yes, that is the Baker car. I will get you more pictures soon. I had the oil idiot light sensor fail on me and the car pissed oil as soon as I got home. I had already planned to take most of it apart for cleaning and such so if you would like pictures of anything specific please let me know. The frame has more bracing welded in that I have seen so far. For instance; the front shock mounts have square tubing welded to the upper suspension mounting bracket that completely box them in. This had to have been when it had coil overs on it. You will never see that ZR-1 that dirty again as long as I have her.

Yea, yea....I have a few more. Not many came out fit to print!



Cheese & crackers, did they tow it!? I just bought that car! Where are we? New York!




Nice ride!



...and at the other end of the spectrum there's this; rude, crude & I'll bet great for the ego!
