2008 Hot Rod Drag Week - America's Fastest Street Car

Larry Larson's 7-Second Chevy II dominated the 4th Annual HOT ROD Drag Week, Presented By MSD IgnitionForget what you think the lines are between a race car a real street car, because Larry Larson's Pepto-pink Chevy II blurs them all. The first time he attended Drag Week, in 2005, Larry had a practice of showing up, making one 8-second run, then packing up and leaving. We were so sure he was cheating that Editor Kinnan shadowed him to make sure there wasn't a trailer waiting somewhere. There wasn't. Larry just knew what the car could do, and once he had his number, he was satisfied. He did the same thing in 2007 with the same combination: a 14-71 atop a 555ci big-block Chevy backed by a Lenco, netting a best e.t. of 8.08 and winning the title of Quickest Without a Trailer. This year, Larry returned with the car's most radical drivetrain to date-still 555 ci but now built by Mike Moran with two big Precision Turbo 88mm turbos-and still no trailer.
