Just home from Tulsa, and got to see unbelievable street cars! Today Larry Larson ran a 1/4 mile in
6:16 et at 219 mph!!!!! If anyone hasn't checked out hot rod drag week, do. These cars had to drive 1000 miles and race at 4 different 1/4 mile tracks to be eligible to win the title "fastest street car in America". 310 cars participated, 57 dropped out along the way. Every one that made the 1000 miles could participate in todays drags. A steel bodied 69 camaro ran 6:87 I believe. No xlr's in the field, though I did see one cts-v. There is no real prize for the winner, just bragging rights. We need to get an xlr in next year.
