Default Re: Why race your supercar

Everyone has there own opinion on this one! If you do a 40K frame off resto you really don't want to take it out where some idiot is going to run into you. I agree these cars should be able to start and run the way they did when they were new. I have been to car shows where they would not start the car. I don't think some of those cars even had pistons in the engine! All your big car shows now will ask you to start your car if there is any question about this. If you like to race em or show em that is your business. I had my day in the sun drag racing so now I just like to sit and relax and listen to the comments people make about these old cars. A couple of years at "Super Chevy" in Joliet I had my Yenko Chevelle displayed, there were people packed around this car for two days, most people have never seen a Yenko Chevelle. One fellow there was with his young son and his comment was " take a good look at this car because you will probably never see another one". 70 COPO, I would be willing to bet you never drive that car [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] Rick, how many times have you taken that red Chevelle down the drag strip? This is one of the best Chevelles I have ever seen! I know you don't drive it on the street much either! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] I won't take my car to the strip because all you drag racers would beat me, I would be afraid to crank it over 3K! but by the same token you racing guys can clean em up and bring them to Vette Fest this fall and I will line up with you in front of a judge.
