highly doubt it. I think any form of organized racing for serious cars like that requires "a valid PA drivers liscence." |

Whichever vehicle you are more comfortable in, and have more experience driving would be your best bet. So if its the Camaro, take it in that.

I def need to see this thing in person, sounds and looks sick!  My 86' is on the road finally, was approved for Classic plates so I insured it and got it inspected.  Needs a tune-up since its sat for the 3 years Ive owned it and who knows how many years before me, but the 2.8 thats in it runs smooth nonetheless. Cant wait to start on the engine for it this winter, either a 383 or 400 SB is going in.

Yeah your going to have those jerks that judge you on the car your driving, but if you do everything he asks and do it right he cant fail you easily. Just relax and drive the way you know how. If your really worried about it and the guys in your area are known to be jerks take the mini van, but practice driving it for a few days before your test. You should do fine..

Car: 1989 Iroc-Z Engine: 350TPI swap Transmission: WCT5 Axle/Gears: 3.08 | Re: PIttsburgh Take the camaro. However watch for 2 things in particular. #1, watch the speed limits obsessivly. it's important for any test, but in a camaro, i bet he'll be watching double time. #2. Watch hard acceleration, for the same reason as the first.
In other news. My car is done!!! I just need to go to AAA and fill out some paper work, call my insurance company ($90/mo), and then hand the keys over to my dad to get her inspected, and we're good to go!!

Yes he is, thank God. I couldn't do half this stuff without him, but i'm learning. I stripped my L98 down again, this time without my dads help. We're sending it to the engine shop (Bob George Racing) sometime in the next month or 2 to get boiled (with the heads), bored, and balanced (my new 383 rotating assembly that is) |
