Old Drag Car Pictures.........

[Jerry@CHP]

Verne,

In E/Stock, the weight break is 3260 lbs. 1968 Z28s are a natural E car and the 67 Z28 is a natural D car. Have to weigh 3105 in D. If I can get the new 67 Z28 race car to hook up like the Old Reliable, I should be able to run in the high 10.40 zone.

Out in Vegas, the old car was hooking up like gang busters. Two foot wheel stands on 9" tires. Felt like the car was bolted to the ground. When you let the clutch out all you saw was the sky. 7000 rpm launches!

That was an amazing race weekend for me. Got to pit with one of the all time legerdary sportsman races of our time, Ben Wenzel, both Ben and I won class. During the eliminator, 128 car field, I made it to the semi final round........4 cars and then the throw out bearing siezed up against David Rampy. The round before, I took out World Champ, Lee Zane. I was on a mission until the car broke. But as we say in the world or racing, [censored] happens.
