    It’s an LS swap but really cool to see that 61 Skylark blowing the doors off exotics.

    1/2 mile rolling start is new to me. What is the guys name? Says Greg Orr on fire suit.

    Roll time trials us what I call them as your really not "racing" the guy beside you, as there is no real solid attempt to hit the beams together. But for the kind of power alot of those guys make on the tires they run it's the only viable option. I always liked roll racing on the street all the old timers hate it and 1/8mile drag racing but they forget back In the 60's and 70's a 600hp street car was like a unicorn, starting around the late 90's things changed and we had stock stuff that woukd trap to the 1/8 what the old muscle would to do in the 1/4

    That is true Hugger. I'm 56 if you would have told me back in the 80's the kind of horsepower that is being made today from Detroit and the aftermarket I would have called you crazy.
