Nice car but I'm having a hard time seeing at it as a Super Stocker.
I don't know Arnie, but with all due respect to him, it seems to me that he can afford Pro Stock, so why bother with Super Stock?

Frank, just because Arnie has money, he should run Pro Stock?? Then I guess, Gary Richards, Irvin Johns and alot of other competitors should run PS too?? I guess they like SuperStock, and thats why they run that class.

Re: pics from INDY... 2011... from sheehan
 
If I won the lottery today, I wouldnt even dream of running pro stock. I'd build me a couple of awesome super stockers. My hat is off to all the folks at Indy. The cars look amazing. Thanks so much for all the wonderful pics. You do a great job Tom and good luck to ya.

Frank Castros 09-01-2011 10:25 AM

Re: pics from INDY... 2011... from sheehan
 
Stefan,
No disrespect intended and I'm not being judgmental of Arnie.
I'm just throwing it out there because I don't know him.
It's a beautiful piece and I sincerely wish him luck with it.
I guess I'm just an old school Stock/Super Stock guy showing my age.

X2 Stef,

Congrats Arnie, Speedco, The Allen Bros, & the gang at Haas race cars for building one "drop dead" georgous race car!

In my opinion this is a more credible looking Super Stocker than many of the Modified class FWD conversions, and certainly no more radical than most of the SS/AH cars. Granted the airbrushed tailpipes don't fit the tradional mold. The only other possible negative to me might be what the car may look like with the hood on.....a big scoop with that low roof line might make it look like a Pro Mod!

Did you notice that the interior includes a factory console with original gauges? There's a lot of attention to detail throughout this piece.

I give Arnie full credit for getting a new style Camaro out on the racetrack.

That scoop is pretty subtle compared to some of the anteater scoops on other cars. Thanks for the "followup picture" Tom, and for all the other pictures too. Great shots!

I'm not a big fan of the new camaros, but Arnie Martel's looks awesome. It won't be as fast as a cobalt because it's so much bigger, but I like it.

Keep the pics coming, Tom. Great work as usual. Good to see you and your Dad at Cecil. The in-car camera for class was a great video.
