1967 Camaro Pro-Street
This 1967 Camaro is nicknamed "Sinister", because it has a bad attitude according to the owner. It's powered by a Dart Big M block stroked to 565 CI . A Holley 1050 CFM Dominator feeds this beastly big block, which sits on-top of a Dart single plane intake manifold. A Barry Grant BG- 400 fuel pump supplies Sunoco 110 octane race fuel from the rear mounted 10 gallon cell .
A huge four-core Griffin radiator with three electric fans cools that large big block , for fast cool downs between runs.
The Camaro has a full ATI drive line , including a TH- 400 transmission with a 4000 RPM stall converter with a trans- brake. Shifting is courtesy of a B&M Pro- ratchet shifter.
There are massive Wilwood disk brakes on the front & rear and if that is not enough stopping power , the Camaro is equipped with a Simpson parachute .
It rolls on a set of Weld 15x5 aluminum wheels with 26X6 Mickey Thompson SPORTSMAN S/R TIRES on the front , while the rears are 15x14's with 33X22's.
The first thing you notice when you open the door is full 14 point chrome-molly roll cage certified to 7.00 by the NHRA.
The interior is filled with Auto-meter gauges including a 5- inch Monster Tach.mounted to the a-pillar.
A Grant steering wheel was installed for better control along with a Painless Performance 21-Circuit Pro- Street wiring system to keep things powered safely.

Brad McBride Racing
Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this 1963 Type 3 Fastback, known as Blitzkrieg. Photo credit Jason Reiss/PDRA Brad McBride is the builder and driver of this super cool and fast Type 3 Volkswagen. Brad has been around racing his whole life. His father owned land that's now the pit area beside Piedmont Dragway in North Carolina. His father raced a roadster and later raced a top alcohol funny car called the Starr Rider well into the 1990's. So you could say it was in Brad's DNA that he was destined to be a drag racer. We asked Brad how he started racing and what his earliest memories were. He stated the first thing he raced was 20" Schwinn 5-speed bike when he was 12 or 13 years old. Even early on he was a fabricator and equipped the bike with wheeli...
Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro
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. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him. The father and son ...

He was known as the Hill-Boys Race Team in the dirt/asphalt racing circuit. Although his involvement with hot rods came from his father. His mother, Marilyn, was one of his biggest fans and supporters. Butch made frequent trips to the drag strips to check out what was running. The “look and power” of those cars was something that intrigued him. Needless to say, he was always on the hunt for cool hot rods. In 1978 Butch was driving through a local neighborhood and noticed a 1939 Ford Coupe in a driveway. He decided to stop and ask if the car was for sale. The owner answered the door and agreed to sell it to him. After a quick look-over, the deal was done . He dove into his new purchase with a tune up on the 396 big block Chevy ...
