Taylor Lastor debuted a new '68 Camaro Pro Mod at the ORSCA season ender at Huntsville Dragway. The car, built by Skinny Kid Race Cars in Highland, MI, sports a twin-turboed, 640-cubic-inch motor under its hood, and was assembled by Lastor's TRE Racing Engines shop in Knoxville, TN. Unfortunately, new car blues prevented him from making any representative passes at Huntsville, but once sorted out, Lastor said he plans to enter it in the AMS Pro Mod series next year.
