Rod Andrews SS/A 1961 EK Holden

ARC originally built this car for a customer in 1997, but purchased it back in 2004 when the original owner met hard times. Since then ARC has purchased a 372 cu in Chev. sprint car engine complete including dry sump, Rodeck alloy block,and Kinsler magnesium injection. With all the composite panels, the car weighs only 1260lb less engine, box & tailshaft. Complete car should weigh about 2150lbs with driver, and with the 720hp engine, should be good for mid 8's at around 160 mph. This car features many of the components that ARC stock including 'Chassisworks' frame rails, 'Strange' engineering axles and rear shockabsorbers and CDW tubing. Rod will try to complete his latest run right side up. (last pass for proprietor Rod Andrews finished upside down at 140mph at the 1989 Winternationals at Willowbank.)
