Our 468ci BIG BLOCK Camaro Has NEVER Run This Good! Track Testing Hughes Converter!
Finally... we have made some big progress at the track with our 1970 Chevy Camaro with a 468ci big block Chevy and power glide transmission. If you've followed the channel for the last year or so, you know that we've had issues with getting the correct converter made for the car. Thanks to Hughes Performance it looks like the 3rd torque converter is the charm! Although we have quite a bit more to dial in with the car and it has plenty of room to be turned up this test session at the drag strip was by far the most progress we've made with the car. Watch and enjoy!

One of the most fun events every year at Firebird Raceway, Idaho is the Club Championship Runoff.

      Some places are definitely more strict than others that’s for sure. There’s a rural Nevada track that didn’t tech my car this year because they remembered me being there last year lol. Not a big deal to me because I feel confident that my car will pass tech at any track but I’d hate to see someone get hurt because they cut corners.

    Some words of advice, brotha. Invest in a practice tree asap. And if you already have one, I'd guess you're counting down the tree? Try practicing getting comfortable staring deep into the 3rd amber, and reacting off the flash. I made the switch around 2015 and my RT grouping instantly became notably tighter. Over the last 9 years or so I've honed that skill to the product you see today. Hit me up any time though bro. Love the content, and always more than willing to help.

    • @PLANBRACING
      @PLANBRACING 2 місяці тому

      Thanks man! I have a handheld practice tree but I don’t think it does the trick quite as well as a full one. I’d love to be able to sit in the car and practice that way! I noticed in your NightFire video that you could literally feel what your light was before even looking at a time slip. That’s goals for sure! Also, I just moved my trans brake button into a similar position as yours and already feel more comfortable in the car. I won’t be using so many muscle groups to let go of the button now and will be more of a wrist movement!

    • @RobersonRacingIncTV
