FAST getting faster

Pennington goes by "Big Dog" here on the site, but it's best just to call him...I'll pm you his #...he's super busy getting ready for Stanton (Pure Stock Drags) Friday so you may have to leave a message.

Terry's had his orange FAST ZL-1 Camaro at the SCR before...think he rans some 10s in the 95 degree heat...

Ed Cook's kid James might have run one of the most impressive FAST times ever, especially when you take a look at the package.

-A pretty bread and butter 493" motor. It's got a good set of heads(but not the best), a roller and some compression. The motor has NO ultra trick internal mods, just small stuff. The basic components in the motor have been together for 4 years of abuse at every event.

- It's one of the few 4 speed cars in the class. And NO fancy whoopdedoo $3K slipper clutch. He has been running a Centerforce dual friction clutch that is 3 years old.

-Unlike EVERY other competitor in the faster end of the class that is running cars with trick weight ballast, vacuum pumps, specially treated tires and ultra flyweight-gutted out cars, this RR has none of that. The car weighs 3925# with the driver. It's in "as shown" condition.

Oh, and the kid just got out of high school.

The kid is the real deal when it comes to banging gears with a 4 speed; smooth, fluid, nearly flawless, and always hits his shifts at the right time. I've been teasing him a little about putting my 4spd back in and going into the 10's all over again, but today he told me that he'd be there before I could get my tranny switched out. He could be right!
