Rapid 1's 69 Z-28Heres a very old picture from the turn of the last century or so...... Thats Rapid Ricky on the road to the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals at Indy. Yes, he drove that car from NY to Indy and back, even raced a few cars in the process! The 4 speed M-22 trans and 3:73 gears enabled this car to be "highway friendly"

Anyone wanna race a stock 69 Z -28?
This car ran pretty well for just a 302 small block, uh....hum, well was really an LS-6 454 with 3 Holleys, open chamber GM aluminum heads, and a reasonable duration cam! But what about those 302 emblems on the hood? HaHa, some victims didnt even look inside!! I know I was there!!! We laugh about the 440 Dodge challenger that got beat so bad after he was running a string of wins against junk cars for a while, thats till he lined up against a little 302 camaro LOL!! He got beat so bad Rapid was off and on the gas as he drove past me at the route 109 finish line. I thought the other guy broke, but he gave up!! hahaaaaaa....... Then he said he never got beat so bad and cried the camaro must have steep gears or somethin, almost reneged on the payoff so Rapid rubbed salt in the wound and drove him down the street to prove the car had highway gears, LOL...Dumass never asked to see the engine hahahahaaaaaaa.... The car was a serious mid to high 11 second drive around street car only hampered by traction on street sticky tires. No nitrous at that time and if your car ran 11 anything it was real fast!! |
Cruisin The Indy 500!!
While at the Car Craft street machine nationals they let the participants drive the track! Hey Rapid, was this around 1982 or so? |
