I went to the historic races at PIR today and bumped into Sieg We spent some time talking to the mechanic and driver of this nice 1968 Z28.

This car won it's class by almost a full lap running against mostly Corvettes and Mustangs. This car was way faster than the other cars...the driver was on the edge at all times. The mechanic told me the engine runs up over 9K. It had a 4:56 rear axle and he went 155 mph down the main straight. I do have a video clip of it running wide open that I will post up later.











Dry sump tank in the trunk and a fuel cell...




I thought of Dave (Flash68) when I saw these side pipes... very cool...This car sounded amazing going down the straight!




Jerico 4 speed transmission




302 pumped to the hilt. The driver said it had over 500HP but would not give us the actual number. 5 stage dry sump pump, step headers, titanium valves, Holley carb.






I really liked this picture.
