The big block powered Vega looks very unstable at speed, but the driver stays in the throttle to lay down a decent pass. He ran in the Limited Street class at the Battle of the States.
Big Block 4 Speed Chevelle Drag Racing Video
**BEST 11.61 @ 121mph, 1.69 60ft all at 3800lbs!!! Had the mph for a bottom eleven and still didnt have all the bugs worked out. Didnt get to turn the wick up to much, only ended up shifting at 7200, though the motor makes peak power at 7600, so there is much more left in it. NEW COMBO : all new 427, G-Force GF4A 4 speed, etc.

Vega drag race ride along
Here is a ride along with my new Go-Pro camera mounted inside car. 76 street Vega at Grove Creek Raceway. I layed off during the wheelie and came down hard- not used to not being able to steer or see while the wheels are off the ground so instincts kicked in.
Big Block Chevy Vega Wagon 8.86 at 153mph
This is the run I made right after the big wheelie pass (see my other vids to see that run). This pass was made with 4 primary header tubes collapsed to about half their original size as a result of coming down from the wheelstand the run before. I still haven't raised the shift point yet. Still short shifting at 7,000rpm.
