A search led me to this article. This Guy was crazy, the title summed it up. Especially when they mentioned nitromethane! Upper 8s in a 3200 lbs car with a 455 stock block.
Back in the late 80s street racing was pretty popular in Omaha,NE down Abbot drive. Police pretty much turned a blind eye to it for awhile. They cracked down on it in the early nineties. I never went up there, and was never into street racing at all, but I new of some guys and their cars that did. I recall one of the guys’ talked about a Pontiac that was suppose to be wicked that came from Lincoln. In Lincoln it supposedly was the car to beat. 30 years later, I run into this article. It didn’t hit me until after I read the article, the Pontiac they were talking about that was hard to beat was this car.
