Ken Veit's 69 Camaro runs 10.65 on GY Polyglass

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...
