The Hitman returns to the track
Got the Hitman up and going finally and took her to the track Sunday. Basic 355 SBC, glide with a lots of gear (6.15). Rob went with me to help sort things out, but not really much we had to do.
Ran several 6.70s (1/8 mile), 60’s in the mid 1.4 range and MPH 100-101. Well pleased for first time out. I would say 6.50s are possible, once we get the suspension set up and I learn how the best way to launch and where to shift. Got lots of thumbs up and “cool race car”. Everyone was all about how it wasn’t a newly built race built to replicate the nostalgia look, but a real life purpose built racecar from the past. Really cool to put a true "barn find" back on the track, where she belongs. Cannot wait until next year to take her to some nostalgia events. <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/lMkJFoN0TpM"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/lMkJFoN0TpM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed></object> |

Re: The Hitman returns to the track
Sitting in shop.
Photo from back in the day, headed to the track. Looks like running in Modified Eliminator class, where many of the early Vettes ran.

Re: The Hitman returns to the track
Lookin good! Put the gear changer back in. Need that 50lb flywheel to hear those revs and see those 70's-80's style launches.
Great car! |
