Anyone know anything about this Challenger race car?

It appears to be competing in SVRA Vintage road racing ... anyone know about it?

Cool. I bet he has as much in the body as the chassis! :mrgreen:

I emailed the photographer and here is what he sent me on the car.

Hi, David. That's an interesting car and I've gotten quite a few questions about it. I was pretty curious about it myself when I was shooting it.
It's a 1974 Dodge Challenger built and owned by Glenn Bunch and it was raced at the 2007 Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio by Phil Currin, a former IMSA champion. That's where I shot it. Much more info here:

Hope this helps

Thanks, that was really interesting, looks like he used a 6k pill in his ignition, I saw 182 MPH, very impressive Hemi! That engine had to cost a bunch with the IR intake/E.F.I. or M.F.I. setup. :mrgreen:
