Combining Classic Lines with Twin-Turbo Power, This Pontiac Firebird Looks to Spread Its Wings for a Sick At The Rock Appearance!

The popularity of the drag and drive event format has brought thousands of people from the tests and tune side of drag racing to get to experience what many consider the next level of the street and strip combination of fun.

But drag and drive has also caught the interest of many a heads-up racer as well, and this ’67 Pontiac Firebird of Jim Trettel also marked his re-introduction to the sport. After taking a couple decades away from the sport, this first-year Firebird would be his ticket back.

“I had a really pristine ‘68 Firebird that was just too nice to make into a race car,” said Jim. “My brother had this ‘67 in the process of being restored, so we cut a deal to swap them. I then enlisted my brother-in-law Nathan Chesler of Cage Rage Fabrication to build the 25.5 SFI-spec chassis, suspension and turbo kit."

Can this classic Firebird combine its good looks with awesome performance at our Sick At The Rock Presented by Motion Raceworks?
