Default Re: OK,who has ran thier car at the track?no BS lets see some time slips

Those Nova's are "the little car that could".
Best time for my COPO LT-1 Nova on 25 year old poly's and a unrestored car is 13.22 @ 105. The car motor is totally stock and will go through a certified stock process at the pure stock drags in 2002. That is with original springs front and rear with 50/50 shocks all the way around. I hope to be the first certified stock smallbock in the 12's. Admittedly I'll need the perfect day with a tailwind. The only difference with the Canadian COPO's from the Yenko's is that both Canadian cars were ordered by Dave Mathers with M20's. That makes all the difference.
My yellow COPO Chevelle on poly's has run a 12.89 @ 111. My orange COPO Camaro has run a best of 12.87 @ 108, and my white COPO Camaro has run a best of 12.69 @ 109. All these times are on F70-14 polyglas tires and will pass cerified stock in there sleep. The difference in times on the two Camaro's is due to orange car has 4:10's and the white car has 4:56 in it. White car motor dyno's out at 420 horse in stock form as seen in MCR. Just curious... Do most of you think I'm nuts for racing these cars? I was the only one for years. Glad to see the Clary's joining ranks. I'm not looking for compliments and I can take the critism, Im just curious as to how people feel on this. Personally I think it's a great way to show people why this are "Super Cars".My cars will never be 1000 point diamond cars but they don't look bad for a farm boy.
