Camaro Performers - 2011 One Lap of America

Camaro Performers was a huge part of our 2011 One Lap of America adventure... co-driver Mary Pozzi penned this article for Camaro Performers (although she will tell you that this is only the tip of the iceberg).

Team RideTech!


The OneLapCamaro has been a big fan of the new RideTech Coil Over Shocks since they first came out a couple of years ago at SEMA.  We were one of the first testing and development cars for their new triple adjustable shocks and have been more than happy to say the least!  The OLC and RideTech continue to "tweak" the shocks and heading into this year's Tire Rack One Lap of America the I think that we can say that suspension on OneLapCamaro has never been better!

We're pleased to announce the OneLapCamaro is part of Team RideTech and will be proudly wearing their logo through the 2012 racing season!

Huge Thanks to Currie Enterprises!




When it came time for The OneLapCamaro Team to build a new rear end for the Camaro using Baer Brakes slick new Full Floater setup, we called our friends at Currie Enterprises to finish up the Lateral Dynamics housing and install the floater ends.  At the same time we had them rebuild the Currie built Third Member that we gummed up during last years One Lap of America event when we destroyed a wheel bearing on our way to the Daytona Motor Speedway.

As always, Currie went above and beyond for us!




The new Currie rear should get the OneLapCamaro Team back on track in no time!

Thanks again guys!
