Introdution and New guy for AI

[K Le Baron]

Just wanted to say hello and am looking forward joining you guys! We have purchased a 96 Z28 to build into a AI car. The cars driver will be my son Morgan, age 15-- Yes we have cleared it thru NASA .Morgan has been racing since he was 8 years old starting in karts and continues in karts. He also runs a sprint car in California. We are going to the next race to watch the fun. Well thats about it for now

Thanks
Kim

Kim, Welcome.

Do you have build plans you want to share for your Z? An AI LT1 car will be intersting

[GlennCMC70]

looking forward to seeing another Camaro in AI. glad to have you guys aboard. if me and Mitch (CMC F-bodies) can help you in any way, just let us know.

[K Le Baron]

Thanks Morgan and Glenn! As for plans for the car I am going thru the rule book and getting a BIG headache LOL Right now I have the car torn down to the chassis and am thinking weight issues right now. I have am also waiting for a call from the guy from AI tech so I can run a few thoughts past him. The one question and soon to be ALOT more is can I change the front K member?

Thanks
Kim

[GlennCMC70]

yes, you can change the front K-member. call Ryan at UMI Performance (i'll look for a link) and please ensure you tell him Glenn and Mitch sent ya.

What part of austin are you & the car in?

[mitchntx]

Welcome Kim.

Glad to see you made it over here.

[K Le Baron]

Thanks for the point in this direction Mitch. We would have signed up sooner but Morgan and I went Ca. to finish up the sprint car deal. Everybody here seems like a good group of guys and we are really looking forward to running the car. Morgan keeps bugging me to let him take the GTO out to a guys track in Austin.... Geees this kid won't give me a seconds rest LOL

y5e06 I live in Cedar Creek, I kinda hide out here with my horses

Kim

[GlennCMC70]

not sure what your plans are w/ the cage (NASCAR door bars are not a problem) but myself and Mitch are able to build you a cage. i'm not 100% up on the limitations of an AI cage, but i'm sure it wouldnt be a problem.

here is a shot of the last one we put together for a 3rd gen.

You were only gonna get 2 answers over there on Tech.

"When you race you actually turn?"

and

"Call Sam"

Haven't met Corey, Todd, Al or Burch yet, I see.

Damn kids. I used to own 2 teenagers.

Surprisingly enough, given enough electro-shock therapy, they can become real, productive people.

You and Skip should get along famously ...

Did I read your post correctly ... we'll see you at TWS in August?

[K Le Baron]

Glen, Thats the bar type I was looking to use in the camaro. Its the side or door bars I want to use. I don't know if in AI I can tie into the front shock towers or not but basically that the bar style. Sounds like we may need to talk

Kim

Welcome to the group!!!

The Austin gang is getting bigger and bigger!!!

Looking forward to meeting you!

[GlennCMC70]

Mitch and myself will see you at TWS in a couple weeks (Aug 4-5). i think we will both be there on friday early.

[K Le Baron]

Mitch, Yes we will be at TWS in August to look and learn. Shannon wanted us to run the HPDE class with an instructor but time will be very short.

FRESH MEAT!!!! :twisted: Welcome!

To answer your question about tying into the front shock towers, the answer is yes. One thing you will find is the AI rules are a fairly WIDE open set of rules but just stay smart and ask questions when you think you might be straying from the INTENT. I sense a brew ha ha starting in the AI rules set for 08' so be careful, sign up and monitor the national forums and be smart with the build. I don't forsee you going into "crackhead" territory so soon but you never know what might get regulated not legal next year....though I don't see you putting a ford motor in that car so you will probably be safe. :wink:

Keys are getting the weight down...you already know that and then seat time doing what we do. HPDE is a MUST so you start seeing our courses at speed and work toward your license requirements. I am sure the former dirt racers in this group can help with the transition and there are several!!!

When it comes to F-bodies, Glenn and Mitch are your boys. I am sure they are just chomping at the bit to get a fast F-bod up on the podium in AI....Mustangs sort of need the company! :wink:

Again, Welcome and if you guys make it to TWS feel free to stop in and ask questions....just beware of Covini if he has the wig on!!!

AI can tie the shock towers to the main cage, no problem.

He's your man for getting that NASA racing license and making a smooth transition into wheel-to-wheel Ponycar racing!!!
