The new and improved pinks 69 Camaro. We have redone almost everything on the car since racing it on "PINKS" in 2006. Most notable is the paint and graphics, we have gone for the old school Super Stocker look, we changed to new American Racing Track Star double bead lock rear with 29.5 x 10.5 rear tire and light weight front wheels and put a and a new sheet metal 9" rear end that is slightly wider and alot lighter than the dana 60 currently in it, also changed is the front suspension opting for the Speed Tech Performance tubular control arms and Wilwood front brakes. another change was a fiberglass hood, latest runs were 9.86 @ 136. so a marked improvement over last years runs in the 10.15 range.
Had the NHRA chassis inspector over to certify the chassis, the car passed with no issues other than 2 small holes in the firewall that need patching.... not bad for a car that was built for "PINKS". I wonder how many of the other cars on pinks would pass a NHRA Chassis inspection???? Ours did! allowed to run as fast as 8.50
The rear end has been shipped from www.bearsperformance.com it is a strange super case aluminum third member that uses a 10 bolt pinion support with radial bearings and a set of Richmond 4:11 pro gears on a light weight spool with 40 spline gun drilled axles. the housing will be a sheet metal fabricated housing, this is our housing of choice because it is super strong and looks great.
Plans for the 09 Racing season include a bit more horse power and the addition of a Lenco/Glide transmission, this should be a big improvement over the current power glide. and the front wheels WILL hang yext year!
