Why would you get rid of a car like that with three different engine packages, and different hood configurations to suit the track event of the drivers choosing. :thumbsup:

Most buy or build another car for another style of race. Apparently not with this car. :hail:

Just goes to show how versatile a car can be built for any type of race, and with a few changes be competitive, and competitive for 20 years.

This has me thinking.....
I wonder what my wife would say when I just finish my project then say, "Honey, I need another two engines for the car, because I'm going to a different race next week and next month." Somehow I don't think I'll ever find out....
Nice to dream though....:lateral:

Here is a story about Big Red
http://www.streetlegaltv.com/feature...he-whole-story

From what I was told... The orig Big Red was built here in Northridge Ca buy Dan & RJ Gottlieb, Dan had a shop next to Bob Lambeck ( Who I used to work for) Lambeck, Dan & RJ Gottlieb teamed up in drag racing for a while and shared a building.. Anyone remember the red and black Camaros racing in NHRA that said Gottlieb/Lambeck on the side??

In the early - mid 90's my friend & I saw Big Red just sitting covered in dust, In an airport hanger in Ontario Ca, while visiting Global West suspension. My friend tried to buy it, but they wouldn't sell..

Why yes it was Charlie, I do not remember what years and it was in laughlin, in the collection. I wonder if the collection of cars is still there? as I remember looking at it with my dad, and he mentioned, it's not even a camaro anymore with all the suspension components, I disagreed, and knew what I wanted my camaro to resemble
