Darryl's Drag Car is GOLD Chevy II

Fan and sponsor rep ride

This beautiful 1962 Chevy II with a 383 stroker small block and a turbo 350 spinning 411's gears in the diff, is and like its driver/owner Darryl Tippe a "mild mannered racer". A street machine in 62 that ran 10.40's with a hydraulic camshaft and leaf springs would have made the mighty Hemis take notice! For me it is nice to see that nitrous oxide injection is readily accepted and used for fun racers because that was my vision for it back in 1976 when I first showed it to the crowd at the old Mission Raceway.
