    Bad Azz 4.65 Nitrous SB X275 leaf spring pass/video/article

    Josh, this goes out to you, this could be you!! Get er done!!

    Ron Rhodes of Rhodes Custom Auto in Delaware put the X275 world on notice with a killer 4.65 pass at over 151 MPH. His gorgeous '68 Camaro still relies on the factory leaf-spring-style suspension and an engine from Bischoff Engine Service. In-car video inside.

      The car hauls ass, and the driver is not an ass ! He is a rare kind of guy in the ego driven world of motorsports.

        Thanks Aaron, his car kicks azz, I study it often and it keeps me inspired. Ron Rhodes is a great person, he built a tubular core support for me, he is easy to talk to and made me feel like I was his only customer. I'm a nobody in his realm of racing and yet I can call him anytime for his opinion or suggestion, the kind of guy he is.

                I gotta say, even being a Ford/Mustang guy, between that body style camaro (which I tend to like) and the red n black combo, that car is BAD! And the leaf springs make it even cooler! Can't wait to make the first hit on my small block nitrous combo.

                  What??? That's crazy. I would have stayed with the turbo deal.

                        Even if he gave you the info on his whole combo Jake. What in the hell would you do with it???

                          He did. Dr Cs is fielding a two car , two class team this year. Look at his signature.
                          It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

                            Somethings you just don't ask, but he would let you know if he thought you were going in the right direction or what generally has worked for him. Plus you don't have a 68 Camaro, just saying.
