What up with the lever bolted to the underside of the dash? Improvised cruise control?

I was wondering the same thing...maybe a hand activation lever for a trailer brake control? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

my 70 Z28 in the late 70's / early 80's at a street Solo event in Fountain Hills, AZ

not much &quot;street scenes&quot; to the picture (picture of a picture with the reflections ...), but some opposite lock to control the high speed &quot;drift&quot; that was going on:

Cool picture Jim!

Great shot Jim. What is a &quot;street solo event&quot;?

I'm betting it's an early hand operated brake control. I saw a few of those before Hurst came up with the line lock. Dick Brannan (local to South Bend) was smarter than most and rigged up a Studebaker &quot;Hill Holder&quot; solenoid on his 63 Ford light weight car, and connected it to the clutch pedal. Don't wanna be rolling out of the staging beams you know.

That's the Frank Sanders Z-11. Home made roll control at the starting line.

Well, 'ya beat me to the punch Verne! I had a suspicion that was the Frank Sander '63 Z-11 in that interior shot. I can recall when that car was discovered back in the Eighties with only 2200 miles on the odometer! I think it was Spurlock who was able to acquire it back then. That particular car also qualified 2nd at the 1963 AHRA Winternationals at Beeline with 11.93 @ 119 MPH. That was a fast Z-11, especially so early in the season!
