Default Re: 1969 Camaro Suspension Help...

Quote:
One item that I take issue with is your statement that you plan to fabricate your own set of Cal-trac bars. John is part of our family in S/SS...he has put lots of effort and sweat in his suspension system for some one else to copy it.

I recognize there is a moron out there that has copied his bars and made all the dimensions available online for others to make their own bars. I consider this an insult to our community as a whole...be the man and spend your money like a lot of guys in this forum have done. I can just see you coming back to this forum asking for help because your bars do not work as designed. This applies comment would apply to another company out there that has copied Alf Weibe's suspension system for A and G body cars and it is marketing it like their own design.

But you have no problem with the guys turning the Slide- A - Links into "Calvert" bars, with fabrication??

Eric is no kid throwing a tantrum, and his old car is clean enough to be a Stock or S/S class ride, but why would any new blood come into class racing when some of you act like dickheads?
He is an example of a good sportsman competitor that might look for new challenges, since he wins about 70% of the bracket races he enters.

Class racers are their own worst enemy in that regard, just my observation and opinion.
I realize that only 1% of the racers are like that, it's just that the 1% doing 99% of the grousing are the ones most widely broadcast...the internet has been no friend to drag racing either, the more I see.

Back to the subject, the Calvert setup is superior, but shouldn't be the only way to get this job done. The car is real close.
