Ken Veit's 69 Camaro runs 10.65 on GY Polyglass

[ssscamaro]

are you guys all numb? I am not discrediting stock/superstock BUT 6 inch wide bias ply TREADED tires!! 21/2 inch full exhaust...pretty cool.
No traction controls. If found racer is (in supercar series) banned for life!
if i recall kens 60 foot was a high 1.6x?
2010 should be interesting. a few new chevys comming..one really cool really fast one too..plus mine.
Supercar/fast cars "emulate" original appearing cars. Like my Zl1 camaro....a little more than 427 cubic inches!
The supercar series has a certification process to check for oem block heads correct casting heads exhaust manifolds correct style carb etc..

1.60's would be mighty good for street tires. Many of the high 12 and 13 second stockers are barely there with 9" tires.

Love to see the dyno sheets on that engine. Has to be a Super Stock engine with many more cubic inches. Would also like to see NHRA's Travis and Bruce tech that car.......

Why would they need to tech Ken's car? That car ain't in their playground...

Bob... i'm not sure you understand the rules difference's...

I understand, and there is no discounting they are stout numbers for a street tire car and stock exhaust. I just remember the growing pains with NHRA and IHRA during the early '60's.......and all the tech issues of the day.

I know it's stock appearing, but is tech as intense as an NHRA event? How qualified are the tech guys, what do they check for? How do they check? Is there a rule book? These are just questions that make me curious about the class. After being around race cars for almost 60 years, I just know that you don't go fast for free.

I've heard that Duzac has over $100K in his car and he just set the NHRA record. Fast ain't cheap.

Anything inside of the engine/trans/rear is fair game, so that elminates most of the tech...as long as you start with the correct parts, what you do to them is up to your conscience (ie, checkbook!)...and no, a top tier FAST car isn't cheap, just like a top tier car in XXX class isn't cheap. The car has to appear stock (except inside the trunk), so as long as you hide it, you're golden...
