Hot Rod Test Car This has most likely been discussed but I did SEARCH and didnt see anything.
I was going through my pics and saw this one I took of the Hot Rod test car running at Cordova Illinois Dragway. (cell phone pic)
Dont remember exactly what was on it during this.. but I know it had headers and exhaust.
I talked to the guy but its been months ago. It ran high 11's or low 12's but something was definitely going on. Not sure if it was a traction issue..missed shifts..or someone not used to the car driving it.
Pretty cool to see it there... thought I would share and see if anyone had any more info on it. Kind of curious if Hot Rod has done an article yet.

Ok.. I remember looking for the write-up on Hot Rods website months ago. As I was scrolling through there I saw the Solstice build and just lost all interest in anything but breathing. That car is FN INSANE!!!
Anyway... heres an article with all the details about the Camaro.
I remember it having a small shot of Nitrous at Cordova now that I think about it

I've seen this car at Cordova many times, Robin Lawrence is the owner and you can always tell when he is there as you see his giant trailer with LSX and GMPP graphics plastered all over it.

Awesome. I only made it to the track a few times last year and the MFBA rental. Hopefully this year I will make it there more often and check out that car

By the time I got to the Cordova rental they were down to 1/8th mile due to a spill on the track. The first run down the track when they went back to 1/4 there was a bad wreck between a Vette and GTO right at the traps... End of day.
So I didnt get to see a whole lot there unfortunately... luckily enough I missed out on the prepay to run as well.
