Feature Interview

This weeks interview is with racer, builder, and long time show listener Jeff VanBuren. He grew up going to drag racing tracks as a kid but has only been behind the wheel at a drag race once. The thrill of autocross track events and going fast around corners always drew him more than straight line racing ever did. Jeff got the bug for autocross racing and at one time he actually investigated buying Mark Stielow’s Camaro, the famous Red Witch, that at the time was selling for around $40,000.

He then started looking for a Camaro to build in the style of that car and go racing. After a couple years he had built up his own ’67 Camaro that was even featured in Super Chevy magazine. Unfortunately he had built the car so nicely that he felt uncomfortable driving it at the race track for fear of damaging it in an accident…mainly because of the large dollar investment that he had in it (we’ve all had that thought).
