1967 Chevelle Pro/Street
This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle is powered by a 496 C.I. big-block with Brodix aluminum heads and forged Eagle rotating asembly. A full roller valve-train from Comp lets the boost in . A Holley Dominator Cpu. controls the fuel injection system .
The fully polished Weiand 8-71 supercharger pokes through the hood and it's topped off with a Big & Ugly injector hat that draws your attention to the big Rat motor . Backing up the big- block is a 4L80E equipped with Trans- brake and 3200 stall converter.
Power is sent to a Mark Williams Ford 9-
inch rear end with 4:88 gears and a spool. This car was built to be
street friendly. On super unleaded,
this Chevelle produces 600 H.P. to the rear wheels but will make 1,000+
horsepower tuned on race gas. Stopping this beast is 4-wheel disc
brake system by Wilwood .
The transmission is controlled by a B&M Mega shifter.
Here is a view of the wheel tubs that accommodate the huge Mickey Thompson tires. There is a 12 gallon fuel cell and battery all mounted under a lift off trunk lid.

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.

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 ...
