Too hot in Phoenix right now to go to track, but very soon it will be great.

Re: Do you race your car at the strip?

I raced a gentleman named "black magic" once at an earlier Z06 Fest. Does anyone have a video of that race? I gave the time slip to him at the banquet.Took pictures later, at the Hampton,but never really saw what happened to him.

Re: Do you race your car at the strip?

How long ago did you race him?? The only one I know of with that name is Calvin Baltmore from Maryland.. Very high $$ car...

Sorry can't help on the vid... but maybe with that info someone might locate one.

Black Magic (George) is a long time member of this site. He doesn't post here very often any more. I don't know of any vid of the race you speak of but I do know that George has taken his Vette down the strip a couple of times during the fests.

Re: Do you race your car at the strip?

Nope, can't say I drag my car, it is a fine automobile product and has an engine that pushes just fine.

I do go on frequent raqce days at tracks with bends in them though!

I wonder why drag racing has not really caught on over here?
