In 1999 Scott Wagner picked up his brand new 1957 Chevy Super Gas car from Tim McAmis Race Cars. After a few days at home, Wagner decided to take the '57 to a local event for some testing and shakedown runs.
After a couple of good laps, Scott entered the car into competition and as luck would have it, he would go on to win the event. With a brand new race car and a win after it's first event, Scott could not be any happier with his dream car.
That was about to change...
In this video, Tim shows you the 24 year old race car that recently stopped in the shop while telling a wild story that involves drag racing, pizza, car theft, crackheads, a chop saw, police helicopters and old school justice.

I remember this like it was yesterday, I was at that race with my best friend who raced, we were friends with Scott and his crew. We usually went to Fun House Pizza after the races but we stayed and hung out the track that night. We were on our way home and my friends dad was driving his dully and trailer because we had been drinking pretty good that night, but we got pulled over because we were a black dully with a black inclosed trailer on 470 west, and they had 3 or 4 cops behind us and made us all get out and searched the trailer. From that point on when ever we stopped to eat or if we were racing out of town and at the hotel they would open the hood and take the fuse out that went to the fuel pump just to be safe.

1979 Summer Nationals, someone stole a complete funny car operation out of a motel parking lot Friday night. Never heard if it had a good ending or not, but everyone at the race Saturday and Sunday, heard about it and the reward all day over the speakers.

Tim you are a very special person there is a lot of people in this country that think like you do. If I came out and seen my shit gone I would had a cardiac arrest. You know damn good well they were people in the parking lot that seen this going down if these people do that in Texas I pity the fool. This car is a reflection on the man's soul it cannot be any better.
