Default Cordova Raceway Park

I drove out Friday to Cordova Raceway Park to visit my friend as he prepares his wife to drag race there 1969 Chevelle.

The Chevelle is a real 1969 SS Monaco Orange Chevelle converted in sheeps clothing to look like a 1968 L79 Chevelle.

The car weighs 3200lbs with his wife in it....it is a naturally aspirated 327....powerglide with 5 series spool.
The car runs 10:80`s at 125mph all day long.







This small block is all business....Q-jet is only 780cfm





Upside down headrest... nice touch



Dan.

Great pix Dan. Those cars look all business. Very wicked small block 'velle. I like!!!! I have an old post car that haunted the Cordova strip starting in the summer of '62.

Thanks for shooting us a few pix of your trip to Cordova.
