grudge match........

[matt murphy]

The Original ZL1, but not by much. I think that run was a 11:55 to 11:72. Those guys have some specially treated tires. They ('69 ZL1, '69 Hemi GTX, etc.) were dead hooking with those old style tires. We got lined up Saturday night and have it on video. We were set up to match race Sunday, between Larry Christenson with his new 427 ZL1 and the Orange "69 ZL1 clone, but the track had a bad wreck that took over 90 minutes to fix, and cost the rest of the days events to be pushed back and then Car Craft camera guys were out shooting a feature. Too bad, because Larry was really anxious to try the '69. The '69 was running mid 11:40's to mid 11:60's and the two 2002 ZL1's were both running low 11:60's to high 11:70's. We will post the videos and get back with a link. The announcers were loving it, as was the crowd.
