Thanks Chevy 454 for starting thread on this subject. I was also wondering if others had attended or if any board members had participated with their cars.

See the Hot Rod link below for overall winner (67 chevelle) and top ten.

These cars are fast. I use to think my brothers 383, 70 camaro doing high 12's was really fast.

WOW! now that is moving! Nice to see someone run a shifter car rather well, anyone have the stats on the Chevelle??

I wonder how big of a shot of nitrous was used to run those numbers. I would like to see an "all motor" pump gas shoot out!

My engine builder has an all steel 56 Chevy running 9.90 (and dropping) all motor on pump gas with a Jerico

I don't doubt that it can be done. It's just that there is a large gap between "street legal" and a true street car IMO.

Those cars in the shootout got teched, then drove 33 miles, and got caught in Memphis rush hour traffic...talk about tough. Then they go and AVERAGE et's in the 9s, with some on the verge of 8s? Friggin' unbelievable...
