If you bring all of your most prized possessions to Super Chevy, chances are one of them will find something on Manufacturer's Midway to make her smile.
Getting out early to catch the serious racers was a treat. There's a lot of driving talent in all the brackets and these teams work day and night to prepare their racers, usually on a tight budget.
Alan Day from Sunrise, FL, treated us to a look at his '64 Fuelie Coupe. In return, he received Vette Magazine's Best Corvette award.
Still showing some battle scars, 2000 Super Chevy Nitro Coupe Champ Bill Kuhlmann is welcomed back after his October crash at Richmond. Season runner-up Jeff Brozovich (left) also received a big cheer from the racers and fans.
When the Nitro Coupe racing got in full swing, Jeff Brozovich from Tracy, IA, was unbeatable, taking the Gainesville trophy with a 6.407 e.t. at 218.34 mph.
Susan Vanderspool of Melbourne, FL, could think of only one thing to do if she were going to be able to drive her BMW in public and hold her head high. As you can see she junked the Bavarian boat anchor and dropped in a blown big-block Bow-Tie. Now the initials on the car stand for "Blower Motor Winner" as she was selected for an Editor's Choice Top Ten Drag Car award.
We couldn't resist Winter Haven, Florida's Henry Ogburn and his Tri-Power 280hp, 348ci '58 coupe. This nostalgia car earned an Editor's Choice Top Ten Drag Car selection.
This has just got to catch your eye. Purple with lots of chrome and clean enough to show your mom-this Camaro stands out.
Sometimes we forget that Corvette's are racecars at heart. Wally Bow from Pittsburgh, KS, didn't forget and he brought his '99 C-5 out to drag. We liked it and presented the Bow family with an Editor's Choice Ten Drag Car.
