SRT-4 Owners and lovers unite! The Time Attack series this year was dominated in the street class by this “evil skittle” and for good reason! Doug Wind is a local to me here in upstate  South Carolina, and this car notorious on all levels of bad-ass! Sitting on 285’s and boasting over 450hp, this bitch hauls.

Doug clinched the street Championship with the Forced Performance/Continental Tire-backed SRT-4 taking home a victory in damn near every event! This title, The East Region Buddy Club Street FWD Class, was more or less Doug’s playground! He even won the west coast Super Lap Battle Finals at Buttonwillow, setting a new lap record and winning the Street FF title in the event! Congrats to a great season in 2009, and the best of luck for 2010. I hear the car is already under the knife for changes, and I cant wait to see what those changes will be! Stay tuned to Greasy, and you might just get a sneak peek here and here!!!

The late 60’s Camaro rivals the iconic presence of any muscle car on the planet if you ask me. The body lines are some of the best ever created. Add a 388-stroker and you have yourself a red light terror machine, option tag of “get in my car girl” is available!

What can you say about a spotless 1968 Camaro on the street? The 1st thing I always say is that its good to see a piece of history on the street. But whats even better is to see the “resto-mods” which the industry labels these oldies when they have anything late model on the car. Wheels, or anything. I know them as Hot Rods, and the older they get, the more they mean to us all!

When I first found out Jake had this car, it was a goal of mine to shoot it. I never go around to it, and the car itself got better and better over time. When the Weld wheels were added, it was a for sure thing! Jake has had the car since 2007, but the mods have been flowing from day one. It had a stock 350 in the bay when he got it, but soon after was replaced with this Dyer Racing Engines built 388-Stroker that you will see in the mods list! This beast can get out of dodge!

I have already mentioned that here on Greasy Blocks we are nuts over drag racing! See, down here in the southern states we have a few things that make this very clear; a ton of drag strips, very loose emission standards, more domestics being used than anywhere else in the united states, home of NASCAR (meaning tons of machine and chassis work) and possibly some of the best weather for year-round driving in the states.

When it all comes down to it, I may just be obsessed with the year and make of what Jake’s car is, or it could be one more factor. Since the motor is a low compression motor, it can be driven anywhere! I mean, long distance, jagged and beat up roads, on the crappiest of pump gas out there. We all know those bum-ass filling stations here and there that get crap gas. Sometimes you need those, no matter what you are behind the wheel of.

I could blab you on and on with some feature, but Jake’s Camaro does more in pictures than I could do. Plus, that’s one of the goals of Greasy Blocks, not to just blab you on! With a car that passes the 8th mile traps in 7.4sec at over 94mph, there is no blab needed! More coming on this car in a few weeks.
