My Father put his 1956 2 door post Bel Air together in 1971 for stock eliminator racing. Now 40 years later it looks like he is going to give it another go.
The combo was a 225hp 3 speed running M/S, but this time we are going with a glide behind the 225 hp 265 to run in N/SA. Back in 1971 he was running low 13's with the stick (and far different camshaft rules) but given today's technology and rulebook is it feasible to get this car down into the 12.20-30 range?
Here is a picture of the car now in Pro ET brackets.
