When I used to drag my 67 GTO 421cid at St. Louis International (Now Gateway) there was a guy running a 63 Vette that did wheel stands in all gears all the way down the track!!! what a sight it was!!! But his times left alot to be desired. I can't remember what he ran for a motor, but I remember the announcer stating he left the line a 11,000 rpm's. I think it was a V6.
Thanks for the pic.

That car is from 75/80, which is in MARYLAND - which is where I am. I have seen that car at the track. It's cool!
I saw the sign in the background with the phone number that starts with 301 I was like no way that's Maryland so I was scanning that pic more and more and then I realized hey I know that place - LOL
What's even cooler is that I see something on here from where I am from. :flag
