Re: 1969 Vitar Copo 9561 Camaro Race Car
Thanks Andy,
I was going thru some of the notes on this Copo and it seems that Vinney had some small holes drilled into the inner rear wheel wells thru the trunk, where a rubber hose was connected and run to to a windshield washer pump and reservoir.
An electric switch would turn on the pump and it would dump/water or traction compound in front of the rear tires.
This is only the second time I have ever heard of this, as a similar set up was installed on the white Nickey sold L78 Chevelle we had on display at the Vette Fest. I had what was left of the original liquid squirter inspected by John Bozgus, a former Nickey Mechanic who also worked on some of the Conversion cars.
He said that a few of the conversion cars destined for serious street racing received the option.
Does anyone have experience with such a set up or if it was allowed in Super Stock back in the day?
