Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Boys I never have bought that picture of a 68 pulling the wheels on the street back then and still don't today. I just don't buy it.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Look at all the pictures of that car racing at a track. Do you see the wheels off the ground in any of those pictures?? No there not, so how did it do it on the street with less traction??

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
That picture shows it smoking the back tires and pulling the fronts off the ground come on. They may jumped on several times and the wheels came the ground but standing still and pulling the wheels I can't buy it.

[/ QUOTE ] You know.. if that were just a run of the mill '68 Camaro I would have to agree..... but that is the Baldwin/Motion full competition Record Setting Drag Car there...in it's prime no less... Not only is that car yanking the tires up on the street.. I'll bet it did it quite easily.. And to me that "smoke" looks more like dust off the ground being stirred up from the open headers at wide open throttle.. but thats just my opinion....

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
The "smoke" is located in front of the tire. and only on the passenger side. So unless the car is in reverse doing a peg leg burn out...it's dust from the ground or from the right header.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
I always loved that shot too...the '68 Goat this side of the '64 Poncho is braking to turn around and join the fun?.
Anyway, is it even the same car for sure?. Although both are lettered and have the dash-tach, the street shot shows a stock hood also look at the leading edge of the roof...is that just shadows or a vinyl top?. ~ Pete

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
I agree Pete. I'm not sure if that is the same car. Hey I love that picture I still have the mag. it was in. I think it's one of the best shots taken back then. I just feel the car didn't do that from a standing start.
