This week"s Drag Race Monday video features a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro taking on a couple of other classic Chevy cars on an 8th mile drag strip. The yellow Camaro is marked as “S/Pro” and “S/G,” which, we will guess is NHRA code for Pro Stock and Super Gas. The times this car is running seems way too slow (comparatively) for a Pro Stock car, nor does it looks as absolutely bonkers as an all-out Pro Stock car. The tub chassis back end and radius’d fenders do look the part, but I think that’s where the “tubing” ends, as this thing doesn’t look like a tube frame monster. However, this thing is dead on the money for a Super Gas vehicle, which is one of the lower tiers of the NHRA racing classes, where the rule are flexible, but don’t allow the use of “exotic fuels,” which can be interpreted as you will. We’re guessing that level of performance isn’t happening on 91 or 93 octane, whatever it may be using. We don"t have any further details on any of these cars, but in the case of the bright yellow 1967 Camaro there is no question that is has been heavily modified to dominate the drag strip.
