Gibbs ZL1 & Red Alert

Been posting some of my hundreds of photographs from 20-30 years ago over on various FaceBook pages but don't really know where to post these individually. These are from Muscle car Assoc High Performance Showdown at Milan in early 90's

If you want to find pics I've posted up on FB look under my name Lon Seigworth.

I worked for the NMCA at the time and was at that race.

Re: Gibbs ZL1 & Red Alert
----That was me in the drivers seat of Red Alert, Lon. I was supposed to match race Porterfield that day but if I remember correctly, he broke something. That was my 1st motor. It got me down in the high 10s. The motor I ran for years (#2) got me down in the low 10s. Would have been relatively easy to hit the 9s but there were too many NHRA mandated changes I would have had to make. I wanted to keep Red basicly the same as Bob H had it.......Bill S

Cool story, Bill. I can't imagine what it's like to move that much metal down the 1/4 mile in the low 10's............
