Re: Yenko wheelie
I'll pin that up on my wall anytime !!!
Looking back to STOCK & SUPER STOCK & till this day....Hooked up traveling in the air cars are highly competitive, most racing done today is won or lost with 2 typical scenarios:
Reaction Times & 60' Times.
I am in agreement with the wheels up atitude on a well tuned set up......
Some here know my brother is crew chief on a highly competitive Pro Nitrous PDRA 68/69 Camaro.....
He sets it up to run .96-.98 60 ft times to compensate for "the drivers" weak reaction times....it pays off and has the appearance of cutting a good light.....
the down side on these Volatile cars with sub 1 second 60 ft times. is" too hooked up" creates tire shake a few hundred feet out and That's Bad !..Bad enough to damage or destroy anything internal on the drive train from pistons to converters to pinion gears & bearings.
When I watch Kenny Matsco in his 69 Camaro Chevy A Go Go...its like Tom's Nova, they both have that Old school Modified Production altitude is attitude performance !!
Tom, I can relate the ego boost you get against the Pro Cars...'snicker'
I had those same feelings some years ago when I raced...
(hope to do the same soon with the baby 302 brother Joe is building for my 69 Z )
Now ! the $64,000 question !
who's gonna stand down track clicking the camera and video to get "Air" shots of Tom so we can see how that YENKO looks underneath !!
