UMI Green Machine @ Ohio Muscle Car Challenge

[UMI Sales]

This past weekend we attended the Ohio Muscle Car Challenge at Pitt Race Road Course in Pittsburgh,Pa.
It was 3 days of racing consisting of Track cross which is a shortened version of the full road course,Full road course with speeds near 125mph, and auot-X.
The Green Machine piloted by UMI Engineer Ramey Womer finished the event in a very respectful 16th place overall in a field of 29 cars consisting of only 1 other G-Body.
As we keep tweaking the set-up it gets faster and faster and hopefully by next years event we can get it in the top ten.It's pretty cool to see a G-body keeping pace with many of the big dogs at these events.

If anybody needs anything or just has questions please feel free to contact us.

Thanks, Craig

That's exactly why I bought every suspension part for my cutlass from your company! Ramey is who I dealt with on the phone when I ordered my stuff last year.. It's good to know you guys let it all out on the line!! Your products are top notch in my opinion, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the positive feedback!!
We are going to start Ramey on a strict workout regimen so we can get the G-body guys on top...lol

Ramey, that car looks from the video like it handles like it's on rails!! I hope my cutlass will handle that good when I get it done.

Thanks! Yours should be a-ok as well.

It feels pretty nice even at the end of the straight. It hauls down nicely from top speed and turns in well.

I didn't hear any squealing from the tires and I know you were pushing it. How are those tires wearing?

 

[UMI Sales]

Tire wear is nice and even. Our pressures are right on and the front camber gain seems just about perfect. I've done temps before with my oval track Longacre and they've been acceptable. I do know that other than the one bobble, turn 11 up the big sweeper felt pretty nice.

I had some brake pedal height issues so I was being pretty cautious.

 

[pontiacgp]

What residual pressures are you using in the brake lines?

 

[UMI Sales]

No valve yet. I don't think it has pad knock back though. Still investigating.
