The biggest news radiating through the pits was Spiro Pappas' new twin-turbo Camaro, which made it's debut as an identical twin turbo clone to Spiro's single turbo 1969.
Expected, but still hard to swallow, was the absence of Nick Scavo, who was a team member and Street Legal Drag Racing legend long slated for the driver's seat. Word around the water cooler was that Pappas and Scavo had a falling out over a month ago and that lead to Scavo no longer holding the wheel. If someone can patch up the leaky relationship, this still could be a team for the ages. At stands, Nick is on the sidelines and there's two '69s with one driver.
Spiro directs as his crew scramble to get their new car into the trailer as the rains swept the area. The NEW ride has the twin 88's peeking ferociously out of the front grille. Spiro will not be competing with the car this weekend, but he will be making test hits. His old car will be entered into the NMCA Super Street class.
