Albert was there running his ZL-1 Chevelle, neat ride, I really like the write up, on Saturday spent a lot of time going over Joe's Yenko, and Dan told me he was "forced" to cruise down in a customer's ragtop.

I don't know much about your car, but can you tell me what kind of drivetrain you are running? Engine size, trans type, and rear gear? Building a 70 Chevelle SS and want to get it to run in the mid to low 7's in the 1/8th also. Right now we are looking at an L88 427 with a TH350 and 4.10 gears. I had this combo in a 70 Monte Carlo back in the 80's and it ran 7.56's on street tires and open headers in the middle of July here in Hotlanta. Was there a model car made of yours back in the 70's? Memory is getting bad these days. Thanks.

Yes..AMT did a model of this car three times, first in 1972.
The car is pretty much the way it was built in '71, BBC with 650 HP, 400 turbo and original 12 bolt with I believe 5:13 gears. It is a heavy car, PWs, console, original interior, etc.

Here is a video from the Chevelle site, I believe racing Albert.

Red Alert pass

Got a surprise in the mail today from Chuck. Seems Red Alert was given a Top Three award in the '64='72 Pro Street/Competition class. I am both honored, and surprised, as there were some really outstanding Pro-Street cars at CB10.
