Tracks for sale too.. if your interested.


The previous owners put a lot of money into it. It has had major improvements even in the 7yrs ive been here.

I personally loved racing my bike there. Track is a bit small for high hp cars but has some fun turns.

The actual grounds at the track re better then anything you'll find near by (minus food), if you want to hotel the hotels by exit 98 in camden (same road runs straight to the track) are where you would want to stay amd they have some decent food there also. Would be about 20miles to track from hotels.

The town of Kershaw is closer to track but not as nice as hotels in camden

If you have watched "rufaster then a redneck" thats just the infield short course they use for tv. And for all the lemons and chump car races. There is a whole back half through the woods they dont show on tv.

It would be a shame if you came all this way and didnt hit up vir. Also.

Its 3hrs from cmp racetrack to vir. So may think about maybe a weekend here then go the following week.

Also camden is 4hrs from "tail of the Dragon" (other direction though) heading back to minnesota. (So maybe hit that on the way down)

Almost a must if you enjoy 316 turns in 11miles or somethjng like that

And if you want a personal race instructor I happen to know one.

Vir is my brothers home away from home track as I call it.

And seeing as my mother , grandmother, and myself live in camden he has spent alot of time at cmp as well.

Talked with my brother the other day. And hes going to be racing and instructing at vir for three weekend in Aug. And I am hoping to get the car mechanically/reliably sound enough to race one of those weekends with him.
However my big project is going to be replacing the valve stems with ferrea ones that I bought (timing belt done same time). I should have the moroso oil pan and oil temp gauge between now and then as well. And have my fingers crossed that will take care of the slight smoke issue I have started to see.

But I have yet to ever do anything more then take the valve cover off a 4g63. Not sure why but the thought of doing any internal work myself has me nervous, but I guess that goes with anything you do for the first time.

Why not have a machine shop install the new valve stem seals (especially if you've never done motor work)? Or are you doing this with the head on? Does it only smoke on decel after a pull? Lots of things can cause smoking, would hate to see you go through the work and find out it's rings, or turbo, etc.

[SlowWhite]

Thats is honestly my fear. Of it being rings.

So far here is what I've experienced:
on wot pulls it smokes (thought this to be because im running rich 10.0-10.5)
One time when parked facing down hill (slight down hill) started the car after paying electric bill and white smoke pretty much filled my parking spot. About 30 sec for wind to clear smoke)
And randomly ill see minor smoke when im warming the car up (not white)

The turbo is only oil cooled. So im not sure what to make of it. The smoke isn't always there (maybe 1 in ten starts I might see some out the exhaust)

I thought maybe I blew a small hole in the head gasket after one tuning pull where we were trying to figure out what was causing the car to act like it was getting spark blow out at anything over wastegate pressure (posted it in another thread I think)

But after researching possible causes the valve stem posts seem closest to whay im experiencing and they were cheap enough to replace anyways. I was planning on doing it with the head on the motor. (I may pull the motor just to make it easier for my first time.
But if I do that then I've been contemplating just pulling every thing and getting the car painted at that time. There just is so many factors I just havent made a decision yet on which way to go.

[SlowWhite]

Also I've looked into having my turbo rebuilt by the guy on tuners that everyone recommends and he said its $170 flat charge for hx35 work. So that's not that bad and I might send it off anyways regardless since I dont know the history of the turbo.

As well as started asking around for someone to go through my motor instead of me doing the work. There is a guy john wigger out of north carolina thats 3hrs from me that has the ecmlink hp record of 1000+ if I go with someone else doing it im pretty sure im going to use his place.
