I was at the track I go to in Spring of 1997. Nice day lots of people. Just a regular test and tune and I was taping a couple buddies... [91 Z, and a then new, C5 Vette]. Anyways we're all sitting in the Stands and this absolutely beautiful burgandy/maroon colored 69 Camaro pulls into the water box and does a burn out. It wasn't back halved, but looked to have 28x10.5" slicks in the back and skinny fronts. He burns out and it sounded big blockish, and really 10s if you know what I mean, so we all pay attention to see....
Pulls up and pre stages, then bumps up a notch, staged, and winds up on the trans brake, tree goes down, he lets it go, and it kinda made a very loud Wuuh-uhh-aaaaAAAAAAAAA then flat screamed at what seemed like 7500 RPM... car lifts straight up in the air, sits there fer a sec, and comes down on the back bumper... car standing straight up and down and everyone in the stands was standing up and
...he lets off... then as the car starts to fall he kinda revs on it to ease the fall, but it came down hard and broke some stuff in the front end. He got out of the car and everyone in the stands was stood up and clapping and screaming and
& stuff.. [keep in mind it was most high 11 and slower till he and 3 other cars he was with showed up that day]. The rest of his crew were all non tubbed car running high 8s to very low 10s
I remember the low 10 car was a lime green 68-72 Nova.
