Some Videos For Your Viewing Pleasure

By Wes Gates on April 13, 2010 7:25 PM

This video is of the Monaro at US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin Michigan. At the time the Monaro had a 427 big block Chevy with Rons Flying Toilet injection, powerglide and Dana 60 rear end. The heads were home ported 049 large oval chevy iron castings. You can see I was dialed a 10.93 and ran 10.936. That combination was deadly consistent. That engine ended up dropping an intake valve and destroying itself. From the date of the video file I believe this to be from 2004.


This next video is my first race car, a 1981 Camaro. When I first started racing it I had a tired old 350 in and it ran 15's. After getting the bug I went big block and low 11's before selling it and putting the big block into the Monaro.
