One of the many sections of a Camaro website that I have been working on putting together for a while is a drag race section. This weekend I started to clean up some of the pics that will be used. Some are not final shots and are literally pictures pf pictures at this point as I am waiting for true scans so quality is not always great but figured some of you may like them. Also if anyone would like to contribute any pictures for use on the site of any year Camaro please feel free to contact me.

1. 1967 Camaro L78 convertible, true day two pic as it is literally the day after it was bought. The paper in the rear quarter window is actually the window sticker. This car would go on to become the BatCar setting numerous NHRA and AHRA records and winning numerous championships under both race drivers in its career.



2. Early front launch shot of the BatCar.



3. Rear shot of a launch of the BatCar



4. Color shot of the first BatCar paint scheme taken at Englishtown NJ in early 1968



5. Picture of the BatCar after receiving the Rod Shop paint scheme, yes the Rod shop of Hemi fame, this is one of the beasts that put them on the map.



6. BatCar after it left the Rod Shop and went to it's next owner


7. Another shot after the Rod Shop. The other 67 that you can see in the top left corner is an L78 Pace car that was raced out of Canada.



8. Everyone loves anything that says Grumpy's Toy



9. Dick Harrel, what more needs to be said.



10. A car that I know nothing about, reportedly taken at Englishtown, NJ.



11. Mr. C's 67 L78 also reportedly taken at Englishtown but am not sure of this for a fact.



12. An unknown 67 SS 350 car, track unknown to me.



13. A 68 coupe and 67 ragtop head to head. Again unknown track and am not sure of the names on the cars.



14. Little Giant 1968 Z-28 awaiting a new motor.



I will try and post a few more later on if people are interested or they can see everything once they go up on the site but that may be months off yet. So far the only part that has much in it is the vintage advertising section.
