Default Re: Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race

The Yellow Yenko Camaro's best was a 13.70, not as good as last year when we ran 13.20s, but OK, since most of the driving was done by my youngest son Jonathan, who began his racing career at this year's reunion. Also, with the reunion right before the event, we did not spend the time we should have to get the car ready, but enough excuses. We never could get the LS-6 to pull hard on the top end, so it really suffered. We suspect ignition problems, but have not had time to troubleshoot. But, with all of this going on, we still had a great time. The highlight was on Saturday, when a TV crew from SpeedVision spent the day filming us and our cars. They followed us around as we raced/worked on the cars, they interviewed us all and even put an announcer and camera in the Yenko as it made a pass. As per the other cars, 2 of the faster cars, both Novas, were not allowed to qualify. I heard that it had to do with their aluminum heads.
