We have been following along with the Big Red Camaro team as they have tackled all kinds of motorsports events from Land Speed Racing to their latest endeavor the Pike’s Peak Hill Climb. Sadly on Monday (June 13th) the car was testing at Buttonwillow Raceway when it caught on fire, ending the team’s Pike’s Peak aspirations. Head over to the official Big Red Camaro Page on Facebook HERE for more.

We wish them the best of luck rebuilding this amazing muscle car.
