I knew that as soon as I heard Mark was coming to join the party on a Saturday round that there is no chance I would not attempt to get some cameras in this car and do a cover of it. This is one of the toughest true street muscle cars around, it looks unreal, sounds unreal and it definitely can get out of its own way. I love everything about this car!
Mark is a regular down at the Motorplex and regularly frequents the off street drags on a Wednesday night with many of his cars, so he is no stranger to racing. When the opportunity to get a full days racing on a much better track prep than a mid week session, Mark was in!
With a PB on its very first pass on the Saturday, the car definitely has the potential to go even quicker with a little more time on a decent track. We hope to see Mark back again for the last round of the Radial Championship 2020/21 Season in a couple of weeks time.
A huge thanks to Mark and his family for letting us cover the car, great guy who knows his old school cars and performance like the best of them!
