This the kinda 55 I want to build,I just need an inexpensive one ☝️,to start my dream , and do and go places to run it and daily drive it too, thanks BigAl California.
Years ago about 1996 I was playing with a car on the dragstrip and I thought it ran pretty good now a days its slow ran in the foot brake class in mid NC no electronics , I entered in a high doller race at Piedmont Dragstrip they had two races a $10,000 dollar race and a $4,000 dollar race open to all cars now I have won some money with this car so thought I would try the $4,000 race made 1 pass at about 11am did not get to race until about 3pm talked to the past track champion and he was in his mid 60s at that time and he told me most likely you will have to race a rall put a number on it that you can run and kill the tree (a great reaction time) because you can't see the rall well my car ran the same time at 3pm as it did at 11pm the rall had a better reaction time than I did but not by much, I was in the right lane when I got in 3rd gear I quit looking at the track because the car drove so good and straight so I started looking for the rall and I seen it when it passed me at the finish line at 130 mph now this was 1/8 mile and not 1/4
That fully framed battle ship kept up with that rail like nobody else's business, badass
I love that the 55 still has the fenders stock! I usually love a radiused ‘55 but there is something “sleeper” about a stock bodied ‘55
That Chevy has been saying to itself - what the fucking hell am I doin!!!
That was fricken awesome
There is no backing down in that '55, Definitely a mean machine, Whatever is sitting across from it that '55 will take it on.

Beautiful.
One badass ‘55
"I thought he had a good chance" said no one
Why did they change a perfectly good 1/4 mile track into a chinzy 1/8 miler?!?
That Chevy put up a fight
My '57 Ford would eat that Chevturd for a snack.
What's the name of the 55 the Rust Bucket LOL
that 55 surprised me....,
Looks like another mismatch to me. The 55 is setting lower on the left side.

How fast was that?
Idiots didn't show the E.T. so I don't know who won.
If he would keep front wheels down that would have been a hell of a lot closer, one bad car
