Another Red Camaro

You can tell when the drag racing season is almost over just by looking at one of the cars. The quarters and wheelwells are coated with an inch of spent rubber, bugs hitting it at 200 mph have taken their toll, and between-rounds thrashing has left dents and scratches everywhere. But hey, it’s a race car. Who cares what it looks like? Tim O’Hare cares
Not only does O’Hare leave a lot of money on the table by not papering his ’69 Camaro Pro Street car with ugly contingency stickers, but it’s kind of a running joke among the other PRO Edelbrock series racers just how fanatical Tim and his crew are when it comes to the car’s appearance. “After every round, we take the wheels off it and clean everything. The suspension, the wheelwells, everything,” says Tim. “A lot of guys joke about it and say we’re too anal-retentive, but we’ve had a wishbone crack twice and we found it by wiping the rubber off the car. Besides, I want it to look good for the fans.”
