Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro

Image
  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end.

Roger Tausch’s, 1972 Pro-Street *Maverick *

                                                                                         I came across this, radical for its time 1972 Ford Maverick, and I wanted to share it with my readers.     When Roger Tausch's blown 1972 Ford Maverick rumbled through the Indiana State Fairgrounds over 35 years ago during the Street Machine Nationals, it caused tons of excitement among fellow Street Machine enthusiasts !   You see most blower cars at the time were Chevy's and very few were Ford's or even Ford powered. Roger's car appeared in the Nov. 1980 issue of Car Craft , It was a fantastic debut for Roger and his  Supercharged 302 powered Maverick. It would go on to grace the pages of several other magazines in the following few years.  It is virtually unchanged from its appearance when it was last seen over 35 years ago, apart from a narrowed rear end and the change from carbs to fuel injection. This mighty Maverick  followed the wildly popular Pro-Street trend that t
