We used to see that car in the early years at Norwalk. I haven't seen that one in probably 20 years but I hope someone grabs it and brings it back there. It was a lot of fun to watch and as I remember, it hooked up really well.

I've talked to the owner many moons ago, I can't recall at what event it was, it could have been Norwalk.

I know one thing, he has no love for Brucie. He built a engine for the guy, and it blew up almost immediately upon installing it. No help whatsoever, sorry about your luck....................

It says the owners name is Harrel Lamkin, of Kenosha. 10.85 is best ET @3100 Lbs.

With that short wheelbase, that thing's gotta be squirrely as hell! Also surprised it only goes 10.85. Maybe it's too scary to drive it any faster... LOL.

My 90" wheel base Fiero goes high 9's. It is a bit like driving a NASCAR on some tracks.

This LS7 powered Pacer did 10.10's at Norwalk and won it all. It also had all of its original paint and woodgrain with only 9000 miles on it.

The car has been in the high 9's. They would run the quick 16 at Norwalk years ago. Barbara drove the car.
As mentioned above, Bruce built a engine for it and it grenaded on start up.
