Thanks for the replies. Yes Chris thats me I ran this car in ss/cs from 1991 thru 1999 than did a one year stint in the nmca. I remember you guys and even your late father. The car is painted all red now with black z28 stripes. Quit racing for a while but did take the car out with a bracket motor in it a couple years ago. Switched it over to a stick with a jerico just to have some fun locally here in Denver. With a 373" motor the car ran 10.60's up here which was just quick enough for ss/as. Switched to a set of legal heads for modified this winter and planned on running local super stock races and a stick class they have here. Problem is with the new index not sure if this "bracket motor " will be quick enough. If not quess just the stick bracket class for now.Thanks NHRA. Mike Lupfer here in denver is going to work on the car for me here real soon so I need to decide which direction to go with the back of the car. This car was built by wayne county back in the day for modified production. Although I updated to coil overs and a good set of ladder link type bars the car has real small wheel tubs. Car has to sit high to clear a set of 14-32"s. Also still has a dana 60. I like the old cars but before long you spend enough and you could buy a used modern GT car instead.
