Best time 9.500 @ 144mph
It weighed 3480 at the time and has a de-cammed 522" Reher-Morrison. 
Owned the car for 11 years.
My Camaro is all steel and glass.
Crew
is myself and someone to help me belt in with the HANS my fused spine requires.
Favorite track: Dinwiddie, VA. 
I usually race at Quarter Aces just because it is very close and going to MANDRA events means getting
help for a whole day or more which isn't always easy.

This winter we  have 'front halved' the car and put REAL wheelie bars on
and removed the street/strip bars which are poor at best.  We have also added a vacuum pump and hope
to run in the 9.2 range.  We also dropped about 175 lbs but the car is still3310 with me in it. 
Still fat but I won't remove the steel or glass.

 I am 64, retired from pacemaker/defibrillator business and now make drag racing parts for nitro cars and other drag racers. 
I make supercharger seals, wheelie bar wheels and roll cage padding.
