Formula Drifting - El Camino results, photos and videos!

[z28evans]

Howdy,
Very Briefly - we qualified 7th, where we faced Chris Forsberg in our tandem round. It appears that we are tied for 12th (with Rhys Millen) in Formula D points. If we can get some sponsorship money we will go out to California for the next round. Thank You for all of your support in cheering us on!

props for beating Rhys Millen supra or gto. but damn what is with all of the domestic cars drifting. like the gto was one thing and it was original but an el camino.

hahaha that's awesome. that must take some serious skill to handle that car. Im originally from Red Deer, Alberta which means I've spent alot of time driving el caminos and they aren't easy to handle. Well done

I'm pretty sure he has the positraction rear end (lsd) in order to pull off those drifts hehe.

Oh yeah he must. What Im wondering is how he is stiffening up the plush suspension. The rear setup is leaf springs and I wonder if he upgraded the brakes. Theyre horrible on those cars

That's wicked, I'm glad you're not following the normal path.

just looking at the pics and it seems we have some answeres here:


you can see the posi diff and some Bilstien shocks, a thick sway bar and seemingly stock springs.

[WGR4Pussies]

its got a posi from a grand national, and upgraded rear springs, and custom front suspension.

focking awsome.

also, on your site it says the elcamino started production in 196?

first year of production was 1959, hope that helps you out a bit.

Terrible chop, I know, but its just something I had to make up quick after I saw this...

watches rage2 run out and grab a bargain finder frantically looking for a used el camino

this is a killer shot right here:

I love the idea, its like a sleeper dodge shadow, ugly, unexpeted, competitive.
