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 did ask Joel about it at the reunion several years ago. I asked if they used bottle jacks . Didn't get an answer.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
If the tires are lit, he's got no bite.
 I think it's smoke from the right header,....................maybe dust, but I'm thinkin smoke.  or tranny fluid.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Here is the definitive answer to that question - direct from Marty!
-  - - Hi Glen: I hope this settles the nonsense I've seen around this photo. Since I took the photo I know it's real. He made just a couple of passes and I nailed the shot. Somehow the shot on the Yenko website and what you have sent looks as though it may have been retouched. I'm not sure if there was that much daylight under the wheels when I took it. However, the wheels were up. It's the real deal. It was shot during actual dyno testing, not so I could get a shot pulling the wheels. It was shot on a Saturday and the car was being readied for the track on Sunday. Hope this helps, Marty

[/ QUOTE ] Thats because it's a rediculous question  I'll bet it wasn't the first or last time a Motion built car lifted the tires on that stretch of highway in front of the Motion building either... Oh wait ..thats right.. it's Impossible for a car to pull the wheels on the "Street" without bottle jacks under it... Come on.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oyrXtkFIagY

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Ed, cars today pull the front end all the time but 1967 we didn't have the tires, tranny brakes or traction we have today period.
My Gibb Nova would pull the wheels on the street. 5:67 gears floater read end & 14x32 goodyears. Very easy to today but not back then.
