The Oosterwaals and the Camaro in all the years we’ve watched this car, this was the track they had been waiting for…. The perfect opportunity to roll the car off the trailer and get it down the track on the power level they (and the car) love to run at, which is essentially all of it, immediately!
No surprises in that the car was pretty much on kill as it is every other time the boys roll it out from under the bridge at our track, the huge power LS tested the waters quickly with the track taking a little while to get those layers of fresh rubber down but once that foundation was there it was set for an absolute ripper of a pass. To see the car finally get out past the 60ft, and continue through the 330ft markers with the boost still ramping in and the front wheels in the air as the power was coming in was something we had waited on for a very long time! Unfortunately with all of the stars aligned and everything where it needed to be the boys were met with one small issue which brought their weekend to a grinding halt, the LSX Block had split a bore during that absolute belter of a pass which led to an early shut off, lucky it was picked up in the staging lanes when the Camaro came back around for another go – so the car lives to fight another day and we have no doubt it will smash it’s 7 second PB in no time judging by that pass to be!
You might have also seen in the Radial Prep Video (go and watch that if you haven’t already) but the boys were that keen to help get the track we all wanted that they came down on the Friday night and also jumped on the tools and put in the hard yards to help scrape all of the old rubber and build up off the track ready for the new surface to go down.
As we’ve said before, this car is one of the angriest sounding cars on the channel and is definitely one you need to hear from the top end, turn it up and enjoy!
The prep video has been months in the making – with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from ‘ok’ to ‘elite’!
Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they’ve been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it’s definitely only just the beginning now that we’ve seen what is actually capable.
Check out the interviews with the experts – Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.
