Default video of my camaro at the track

I know there are a few drag fans on here so I figured I would share this. I've had this car for 11 years and it started life as a V6. Best pass to date is 8.85 @ 154 on drag radials @ 3360 pounds. The car is still driven on the street regularly.

We'll have to have a scaler/burnout GTG.

I think youll be the only one doing burnouts, if I try to one wheel squeal one of the 35s on the tacoma I may not have a drive shaft to get home

Thanks. Slicks are for race cars. All my runs are made on M/T drag radials. In the video the car has 295/65/15's on it. My best 60' has been on smaller 275/60/15. It has a turbo 400 with a trans brake.

I think you need a touch more torque, the noze didn't lift enough.

Thats a sweet ride. The fact you drive it on the street is even more amazing. Hopefully you don't do that on public roads though.

It was a close race but I lost by about a car length. The nova has 162 cubic inches on me and is about 300 pounds lighter. I have to step it up a little for next season.

Looks like a nice car Joe. I'm pretty sure I've seen it around the area.
