Flat-Out Vette, by Eric Rickman, Car Craft Performance Series, Vol 5, No: 1, Petersen Publishing, 1988, pages 100-102. Unique Characteristics: Modifications: Notes/Race History: At Bonneville, Corvettes fit into one of two groups…GT or Modified Sport. The GT class is the most restrictive. Rules require that cars begin as a standard production vehicle and bodywork and frames bust be mostly stock. Engine modifications are virtually unlimited… with a number of different classes being used to distinguish between the sizes of engine. The egnie classes are further elaborated by normal aspiration versus forced induction. The Super Modified group is comprised of silhouette racers, constructed with purpose built frames. Once again, the category is sub-divided into classes by engine size and induction type. There are also classes for cars running pump gas or “fuel”…usually nitro-methane. This car is based on a 1968 Corvette and runs in the GT classes. While it did a record in 1981 at a combined two-way average of 240.728, subsequent years proved more difficult for the team.
