Drag racing and supercruise
Imagine for a monent, it is 1970. You are sitting in the stands at a state of the art drag race facility. You look up and here comes a line of musclecars parading past you. Zl-1 Camaros, Yenkos in all models, supercars from Nickey, Motion, of course Gibb and Harrell prepared cars. COPO cars, even full blown racecars. Moving slowly down the strip. The quite before the storm.
Then, it is time for the real action. A pair of ZL-1 raced prepared Camaros pair off. Next of couple of 427 Yenko Novas go at it. Followed by a match up of Yenko Chevelles. Then, another pair of Zl-1s,, A yenko Duece puts in on the line against a Yenko Camaro. Harrell versus Motion, Gibb versus COPO. Maybe a funny car or two. On and on. Supercar after supercar making its way down the 1/4 mile.
Is this only make believe? It is up to you, owners and admirers of the supercars. The sYc has been given the chance to rent Gateway International Dragway, a state of the art NHRA track. This is the track we went to in 2001. But, this time, we could have the track to ourselves, no waiting. Where, instead of cruising on a busy street, and showing off on a side street and/or parking lot, it could be done on a safe, secure drag strip. This way, all cars could participate in one way or another, with much less chance of something happening to their supercar.
But, this opportunity does not come without a price. Track rental is not cheap. The sYc can not afford to do it alone. We need your help for this to happen, corporate, individual, or ? Let us know. Thanks for your time, Tom
