CarTech Editor Wins Real Street Eliminator Competition

CarTech Editor Scott Parkhurst and his 1967 Chevelle Wagon (yes, wagon) took home the gold in this year's Car Craft Summer Nationals "Real Street Eliminator" competition.



Scott's car made 579 horsepower and 594 ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheels on the dyno run. He scored a 4.26 in the speed-stop, actually setting a new record! The launchbox was a 130-foot launch and stop within a small box at the end. Scott finished fourth overall on the unbelievably tight autocross course.

All this earned Scott and his '67 Chevelle Wagon enough points to win first place in the pre-1985 muscle car class.

Congratulations Scott!
