Boys I never have bought that picture of a 68 pulling the wheels on the street back then and still don't today. I just don't buy it.  [/ QUOTE ]  "I just don't buy it" ????  You're kidding, right?

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Look at all the pictures of that car racing at a track. Do you see the wheels off the ground in any of those pictures?? No there not, so how did it do it on the street with less traction??

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
That picture shows it smoking the back tires and pulling the fronts off the ground come on. They may jumped on several times and the wheels came the ground but standing still and pulling the wheels I can't buy it.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
Maybe a 67 camaro wouldn't pull the front tires on the street, but a guy I worked with had a 69 Chevelle 396/375 with 10 1/2" slicks that would pull the front tires 8" on the street, in a drive-in restaurant parking lot or the drive way at the gas station. Just amazed everyone at the time. He did have 5.38 rear gears though.....

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
I know what you are saying Kim but those back tires look planted pretty good. In the old days the drag strips did not have concrete starting pads but the highways did! Smoke may be from the right side header
but you may be right. Trick photography? NAH, not in those days.

Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car
the street in front of the shop was asphalt not concrete.
VW's would regularly get air in that spot. The photo does NOT look touched, the shadows would not be that good. JMHO ( I believe in Joey's floating HEMI )
