For the first time in 4 years, my Camaro missed out on the Woodward Dream Cruise. Out of the 20 years the cruise has been happening, I have made 19 of them, and my Camaro has made about 10 of those. I thought this was going to be a trouble free year, with multiple trips to the track. After one trip, and just one run down the track, it seems a failed roller lifter has ended my cruise/racing season. I'm hoping I caught the failure early enough so as no damage, other than the failed lifter, has occurred. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a new cam (or possible reground cam), set of lifters, and gaskets and I will be ready to go for 2015. I may take this minor setback as an opportunity to install the nitrous kits I've had collecting dust for about 15 years.
I didn't allow car troubles to dampen my spirits, and we still made Woodward bright and early. I rode up with my parents in their 1995 Pontiac Formula, while meeting up with my brother-in-law in his 2014 Challenger Shaker and father-in-law in his 2004 Dodge Rumble Bee. Fun was still had and memories were still made. Next up, Hines Drive!
