My Review of Tom Oates Chevrolet:
I've only had one really enjoyable experience buying a car in the nearly 40 years of experience doing so, and this was it. It was a 2002 Z-28 Camaro. Tom asked if there was a chance I might race the car (Tom is a two-time SCCA National Champion), and as I had not ruled that out, he talked me out of a lot of high-priced SS options that would have made the car ineligible to race in a competitive class. When I decided not to race the car, I worked with him to build the car of my dreams. We built it exactly like I wanted it, Tom guiding me as to what to do each step of the way. The result was the perfect car for me. And then I read that the Sports Car Club of America designed a competition class precisely for guys like me, who didn't have a lot of time to spend on normal competition. SCCA Club Racing has the Time Trials Class, including a Performance Driving Experience (PDX) and three levels of competitive driving. My car fits into one of those levels. A true "Build it, and they will come" situation.
My thanks to Tom for keeping my desire to drive competitively inspired, and to Tim for his masterful job of providing a competitive car.
