Jeremy is an excellent driver and did a great job in Gainsville. He drove a 9 second Chevette for several years. Congrats to you and your Dad

Awesome, congrats! He was also runner-up at the Sportsman National event at Immokalee. The only rounds he's lost in Stock this year have been against world champions (and in two of those he was .009 and .011!). Keep that up, and he may take that title himself!

Chad can you define street car? Are you saying daily driven street car goodyear tires, mufflers and standard 92 octane gas from the local mobile station with no other modifications from the sales lot it was purchased from??? Did he drive it home after he picked up his winnings.

Re: So what are everyone's thoughts on.......
 

Not trying to be a smart guy, but the definition of a street driven car can be different from person to person. The only reason I ask the specific question is that I want to enter my street driven go to work 2001 2WD Dodge Dakota 4 door truck filled up with 87 octane from the local Sunoco on Main street into stock at Norwalk in May. Didn't know if this could be done with an actual street car.

I've seen Jeremy drive that car on the street, change the tires, drain the gas, and run Stock with it. Fairly successfully back a year or two ago. The first time I saw it, he failed fuel check because he did not know they did not have a spec for pump gas. I think the biggest reason they were trailering it was so everyone could ride together and they wouldn't have to change tires, dump the gas, and uncap the exhaust when they got there.

they change the tires, put the pump gas back in it and his dad drives it to work every day. Here is a link to a thread on corvette forum where he talks about the car http://forums.corvetteforum.com/drag...nator-win.html

The reason i posted this is that most of us see how far stock has come, when back in the 60's they really were street cars with just a few things done. I think its refreshing to see a car that is still driveable be able to compete, go rounds, and even win in Stock. Especially in D/SA not B/FS.

They did tow the car to gainsville. It is a great running car. Looks more like a hot street car than a stocker as we know them. Jeremy is obviously a very good driver. If the car still has all of the street equipment on it that would make it a difficult car to go through the tear down process. Could you imagine having to pull a piston and rod out of that car. I had a 2004 corvette. You could barely find the motor from all of the wires hoses and other equipment under the hood.

Since you asked. My thoughts are that its needs HP applied to it just like those stinking CJ Mustangs that are underrated by Ford and NHRA. What is this world coming to? A street car that can run 8 tenths under the index by changing tires and the fuel. Indeed!!!!

Just kidding and you can still buy me a beer at No Problem.
