I went up to the FAST and Factory Stock race at Martin MI last Saturday. A lot of the cars in the Factory Stock class are also at the Pure Stock Drags in Stanton in September. However, here the 11.50 rule for cars without a roll bar was not in affect so a few of the faster cars like the L88 Corvettes, Hemis and the Simpson's ZL-1 powered COPO were running low ll's.
Here is T. Taccone's 70 Z/28 from NY. This is an original Cortez Silver Z/28 with an automatic transmission. He was running in the 13.20's.
Here is B. Mayer's 66 GTO. This is an original tri-power car with a 4 speed and was running 13.70's.
