I plan to install a 3rd gen 92 heritage stripe kit to my 85 camaro -from phoenix graphix

any special prep tips or experiences for the home mechanic (a window tint friend is coming to help) besides reading the instructions to get them on without any problems

Try, if possible, to remove some wax from the stripes area using some type of cleanner or polish, make a good soapy solution to spray the stripes and the body and look for a place where there isn't much wind blowing so thet don't stick to themselves when handling them. Good luck Caribbean Pal.

Hey Orench, finally, I have a contact in a nearby Island - Thanks for the prep ideas

Actually we have a drag race against Puerto Rico Team this weekend in Antigua- I think they are from the Carolina strip scene

Our races here are just coming on but we have a good strip

Perhaps you can help me - I have some friends - we are looking for a clean or a machined 350 block bored 0.30 over and a good crank - or anyone selling a good shortblock - we may buy two if price is good!

Also anyone selling a good 350 turbo tranny for the strip or a street to strip

If you have any contacts, contact me direct at trevorkendall@hotmail.com

Hey Hey Aloha from an island just not in the same ocean. Hows the racing between the two islands we have the Alaskan/Hawaiian shootout were guys from Alaska bring their cars to the Islands. Pretty fun time.
Jeff

Good to hear from all fellow island cruisers

the races are pretty good although we are infants compared to the likes of Puerto Rico in terms of variety

japanese cars outnumber the 8 cyl diehards - they sell the most here - lots of turbos, nitro 4 cyl

So far we have had St. Maarten and St. Croix (a US virgin Island0 come up to compete against us and we just did a return leg to St. Croix a few weeks ago

we have one solid 9 sec car - an 8 cylinder and a few good 10's and 11's

Hi Caribbean Camaro, I'll see what I find and let you know asap. As for this weekend races, look out for old Datsuns with rotary or VW water cooled turbo engines, Toyota Starlets with Rotaries or 1.8 turbos and specially see if they bring a Hyundai Accent called "La Purga", that thing is in the 9's. Let me know how it goes anyway. One question, did you move street cars to antigua for racing or it's just for full race cars?

For Orench - the Puerto Rico race rained out on Sunday but because it was holiday weekend for us here in Antigua, we continued it in Monday

Two old datsuns turned up and a couple of starlets - no Hyundai's - The black datsun with a rotary was fast but it lost out to a small white one called "delirium" or something like that - there was also a starlet called "latriquita" or something like that

In all they beat us 5 - 2- but to be fair our two best cars both v8's, one of which runs 9's pretty well, did not compete for various reasons

Keep me posted on that block and especially any 350 tranny for drag/strip to street in good condition

The races are for all classes - 14sec down to 10 sec, and outlaw - which is heads up no break out


I competed in my 85 camaro for the first time - ran in 14 sec but got knocked out in semifinal - i ran on street tyres - not a good idea but it was fun

Take care
