nice article, here are the ZL-1s mentioned #2, #5, and #29

Grady Bryant's ZL-1 #29 was built as a light weight match race and AHRA drag car (like the #1 Fred Gibb car) fiberglass nose, no front brakes, clutch turbo, and a drag chute

Thanks for posting the picture of the Grady Bryant ZL-1 Camaro and explaining the details of purpose.

Match racing was a popular segment that drew a lot of people’s interest back in the day. Having a well known car that was competitive, matched to another, was a fan favorite making money for the strip owner & car owners alike?

Grady Bryant authored a book several years back called “Match Race Madness.” Grady had many stories in this book about growing up with Dick Harrell about their involvement in the early stages of drag racing.

Below is a letter Grady penned about the book he published that came with the order.

Is the Grady Bryant car (#29) the ZL-1 that William referred to in another post that raced for one season and went missing?
