Check this out! For those who know what FAST is you'll this isn't anything out of the ordinary, for those that don't you will be shocked! A couple stock appearing cars went to the FAST Racing Series event in Martin Michigan and shocked a lot of people! The orange 69 ZL1 Camaro clicked off a 9.66 142 right off the trailer! After some changes the 1969 L88 Corvette went a unbelievable 9.45 145mph! These cars are all stock appearing with factory exhaust manifolds, full 2 1/2 exhaust, and no nitrous!

I have been following FAST racing since Dudek's Road Runner ran the Mustang at Cecil county raceway in Maryland. I always look forward to the series coming to our home track MIR in the fall. I was there and could not believe my eyes when the Cuda ran that 9.776 last fall..... Those cars are wicked fast on those skinny bias ply tires. Imagine if you could go back in time and race these same cars against Sox and Martin, Dick Landy, Grumpy Jenkins and more racers, you would take all their money. They only ran tens with huge slicks and custom headers. Technology has come leaps and bounds. Please, please, keep up the pursuit of performance. Trying to make Detroit's vehicles better and faster is an art. I love this class, it showcases the best cars on this planet.

Really neat hot rods. You all should check out NHRA Super Stock cars. They look like street cars by rule, engines have limitations to what can be done. They are allowed open headers and drag radials up to 14.5 inches wide. I’ve been involved with Corvettes since 1982 and had the first one to go in the 8’s at Bradenton Fla. in 1994 as a SS/CA at 3500 lbs. I know of two Vettes that have run 8.50’s at 3100 lbs. as 1969 L-88 cars in the SS/AA class at 3100 lbs, with 1.15 60 ft times.

The opening sound of both cars was great, but I must say the sound of the Corvette [imo], was better simply b/c of its lower/heavy tone; almost as if it wasn't carrying an engine within f.a.s.t. guidelines. Btw; clearly you know best, but it would be great to see a 70' W30 maxed out like these have been. The "W machine" is one of, if not my favorite muscle car from the 1955 thru 1970 era. Maybe I'll see ya some day; I'm just down the road mins from U.S. 131 strip. Btw *great video.*

I had the roll bar in my 1970 Olds 442 done this way in respect for this series. Laid back main hoop to match the quarter window seal, rear down bars follow the c pillar into the trunk and wide apart so almost invisible from side or rear or any angle for that matter. Really have to be looking to see it. The chromolly 1 5/8 bars are overkill for a 6point bar but smaller tubes look better than traditional 1 3/4 tubing. The rollbar was built by Steve Grebeck, RIP.
