Is Big Daddy Serious? - Page 3

Had a chance to talk with Big @ Gaineville this weekend, and he IS enjoying himself.

But, the interesting part of the pit visit was Bruce Larson was there and he was talking about maybe he neededto get a new Camaro and join in on the fun. He was asking if anybody had one out yet. Told him there were some under construction, but I hadn't seen one on track yet. We chatted about bodies in white and a few other things, he even talked about maybe an older Camaro to run to get started with. We also discussed the need for GM to get their "stuff" together and get a program going to challenge Mopar & Ford.
Where is Fred Simmonds when we REALLY need him?

I think I read he ran from about a 10.40 to his last pass in the second round of a 10.06. I might be wrong but I'm close. Anyway they are going in the right direction. Jim

We need a 3100-3200 lb raceweight LS-7 (Zo6 type motor) 5th gen Camaro w/a conventional non-IRS 12 bolt rear to join in the late model stocker fun and we'll be happy....

Yes that Camaro idea is good...all it needs is a Supercharger and maybe the NHRA would accept it at a 10 HP bump for the pump...... I'd go with about a 400hp rating....sounds close....
