We had heard that the guys at Pro Rides were thrashing hard on project Sick Seconds, the sledgehammer of a 1969 Camaro that is being built to run consistent 6-second laps on Hot Rod Magazine Drag Week in 2010. The guys were trying to have the car at SEMA but time and work will not allow them to do that. Despite that hiccup, the guys seems to be making good, steady progress.
The Unlimited class at Drag Week is turning into a nuclear arms race of sorts with guys like Larry Larsen packing enough power to drop a 6-second elapsed time on the world. No one has done it yet, but if this car is completed, we think they’ve got a great shot, as does the aforementioned Larsen.
Basically, the guys did not want to try to slap dash something together to make a car look like something for the SEMA show. After talking with their sponsors and supporters it was agreed that the car would stay home in 2009 and attend the 2010 show.
Here’s a recent progress shot of the car:
