I was wondering who still runs their car.
What is the best time YOU have driven the car you own to. Anyone street race?

67 Red Witch Camaro that I am driving across country next week on Power Tour. My best time was 12.50@119mph, starting out in secong gear. As evidenced by the mph, I am not good at managing wheel spin.

Re: OK,who has ran thier car at the track?no BS lets see some time slips
Well, let's see...our '69 Yenko Camaro managed 13.20s @ 104+ at the '99 Pure Stock Drags, but was a bit "off the pace" at the '00 Pure Stock drags with only a 13.60s +. BUT, we are hopefully going to soon start an engine rebuild, which will HOPEFULLY put the car in the 12s. If I can just find a block...
I hope we can do some "shakedown" runs at the Supercar Reunion this fall at Gateway Intl. Raceway in our Camaro, kind of get the bugs worked out before Michigan. Also, hopefully the Nova will be together and see it's share of track time as well! OK, Pete, now it's YOUR TURN!!!! [Edited by Chevy454 (04-24-2001 at 09:10 PM).]

Best time by Neal Robbins and his '70 Yenko Nova is 13.45 @ 105.5. This was at his home track, 8:30 in the evening, temp = 72 degrees, and low humidity. This is probably the best case scenario for an LT1 Nova, wheelspin was obviously a problem.

M:
Does Neal's car have any serious engine mods or is he running stock? I have a friend who refuses to believe that a "little Nova" could run a 13.5 et +/-.

MikeA:
I can vouch for those "little Novas" running those times, as the few Deuces I have seen seem to move with great EASE! Surprisingly quick for a small block. Pete's Nova has ran some REALLY quick times, as I am hoping he will chime in here some time soon. Seems like I remember him running 12s on drag radials...
