Of the many new cars at Drag Week 2015, one ratty, bumperless heap has quickly become a favorite of participants. Harry Haig, "Pyro" Jennings, and Brett Ford, a team of Australian drag racers, bought the 1969 Chevelle SS 396 four-speed for $1,500. They pulled the car from a field in Independence, Kansas, where it had been sitting for 20 years, checked for sludge in the valvetrain, found none, and got it running on the old gas that was left in the tank thanks to a Holley carb that was sitting around in a friend's trunk. They then blasted out the rodent droppings and headed for Gateway Motorsports Park. The car runs, sort of. The old carb that had been rattling around in the trunk of a car for who knows how long might get swapped out during the week, but the team isn't hoping to set any records.
