FEATURE CAR – NEXT LEVEL – Ziff Hudson’s vicious Vette runs 3s in the 1/8th! Ziff Hudson is one of those names that seems to always be the topic of conversation in the world of small-tire drag racing. He’s fast and he wins. He started racing at the tender age of 17 in his ’71 small block nitrous-assisted Nova, dominating local street car classes at several tracks. While life took hold, he took some time off for his two girls and started his towing company at age 21; Ziff never lost the addiction to drag racing.
SUPER COUPE – Corey Binkiewicz’ first build went way further than he could have ever imagined. After a steep learning curve at young age, hopping up his 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe came naturally to Corey Binkiewicz, so he ran with it. “My parents always said my first word was ‘car’,” Corey said with a smile, “My dad was always working cars or the house and I was familiar with tools, etc. So, once I was old enough to get in trouble, I was constantly taking things apart to see how they worked or if there was a way to ‘soup’ them up.”
ICONIC – This stunning 1985 Chevy C10 has a blown small block to go along with its good looks! Third Gen, Square Body, C-Series, no matter what you want to call them, Chevrolet’s 1973 to 1991 model full size pickups have become iconic and are now one of their most sought after generations of trucks. They are getting snapped up for street machines and street/strip builds alike and this low-slung 1985 C10 of Chad Gower is an example of the latter. It snowballed from his first vehicle that he drove daily through high school and college, into a nasty blown small block that he can take his kids out for ice cream in and then
go hurt some feelings at the track.
SUPER KID – Drag racers take note, there’s a new kid in town, and his name is….Most every story in the world of fast cars and motorsports starts with
something like, “I have been into anything with wheels since I was a kid”. For Brodie “Super Kid” Brown, it all started on his 1st birthday when he was given a Pocket bike. While he couldn’t ride it yet, his parents Jackie and Rob would push him around on the front lawn of their property.
HIDDEN GEM – Barry Cunningham’s 1940 Willys Coupe – HOT ROD DREAM – Barry Cunningham’s 1940 Willys is one sweet ride! Barry chose the cool hot rod rake with the rear sitting just a bit higher than the front. The Willys is just one of those cars that you can get way with darn near anything when it comes to stance.
