That's pretty cool. I can't help but be reminded of the "Big Red Camaro" that competed in the same events years ago.

. . . and here's the One Lap car in my mirror



Now that I've bumped this thread, I'll mention that the other Camaro that the One Lap Camaro is seen next to in a couple of those pictures is the former PHR project car, Bad Penny. Bad Penny completly owned the Ultimate Street Car Challenge event that you see the One Lap Camaro stickered up for in some of the pics above. According to the Hot Rod article that covered the event, ol' One Lap had some technical difficulties that day.

before the Big Red Camaro there was the "Thrasher Camaro" which was the car that kind of started the whole "Pro Touring Movement"

I know the current owner and have driven the car, and have pics

The Thrasher Camaro

Built in 95 , by a GM suspension engineer named Mark Stielow.
The car was using a 406CI chevy small block with a early DFI fuel injection. The front spindles were hand made, and the car had global west tubular control arms (at the time, i believe they were custom made) The transmission was a Viper transmission with a custom input shaft to work with the chevy running gear (nowadays the swap is easy) This car competed in the One Lap twice I think , first time in 98 or 99. The car was eventually sold to a nice guy named Charlie Lillard, and then went to my customer at the time, Dave Christenholz who had assembled a "Dream Collection" of american muscle cars, including the only unrestored RS package 69 Canaro ZL1, as well as 1 of 2 ever produced Coronet Hemi Convertibles. Dave also had a unrestored low mile 69 Boss 429, and a unrestored chevelle ss 454 LS6 convertible. Dave sold all his cars to fund some investments a couple years ago, and kept three. One of the three, was the Thrasher.

Here are the pics!

In this pic there is the thrasher, a one of two ever produced hemi coronet convertible, a original GT500KR, and real GT500, the survivor Boss 429, and a yenko chevelle. And of course all the vintage (not reproduction) neon signs.






In the back of this pic you can see a rare real 67 yenko camaro.






The blue car next to the thrasher in this pic is a 66 GT350 shelby that i done a "frame on" resto .



I have some engine shots somewhere, and some undercarriage shots from when I was working on it, I just have to find them.

Out of the several hundred 1st gen camaros I have driven/worked on, this is in the top 3, it was a beast!
