There's much better and safer ways to wreck old Chevies. Although 72'ish Chevy II's and Nova's are one of the few Chevies I like. That sucks, glad he's ok though. |

If anybody wondered my the NHRA mandates progressively more safety equipment the faster you want to run, this is a great example. There's a reason, and it works.
