Went to the drags- Pics of a mean 9 second C1
Though this might be of interest to some you, at the drags yesterday saw the meanest
looking Corvette from any year. The guy ran 9.44 ET at 140MPH :eek:

Corvettes just look fast. I wonder what the deal is with the blacked out bumpers? Fiberglass or plastic? 61 front end with 58-60 tail. I saw one at our beach area cruise this spring that was raced out but did not get to see it up close. If you are going to have a race car that is a :cool: one!
Opps let me edit that statment. Those are crossed flags on the side. It might just be a later year grill to lighten the car. :bb

I know I should know more about C1 vettes, but I've spent all my time learning about C2s. So forgive my stupidity, but I would think this car is probably a '59 given the guy's choice of car number on his windshield :D :D
I love the gas lid door he put on the front of the car to use as a filler for his fuel tank!!! Looks like a tank hiding behind the grille to me, anyway. Dad and I were thinking about doing something like this to an old "crasher" or unrestorable derelict car, but they are too expensive!! Brian
