Atlanta Award Winner

Wallpaper Description:

The “beat” in popularity and innovation for the fifth-gen COPO Camaro in drag racing continues. During the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals last spring, some special recognition was given to the 2012 machine raced by Louisiana’s Stephen Bell. Bell’s car was selected for that event’s coveted Aerospace Components NHRA Excellence in Engineering Award over a massive field of contenders. This car features an apparent first for the COPO breed – it is a five-speed car that has been back-halved (by Vic Custer at East Texas Race Cars). Depending on his intended class destination, Bell chooses between either a 327ci (500hp) or a Roush-supplied 350ci (548hp) engine combination. While the car’s primary destination is NHRA’s now-thriving FSS (Factory Stock Showdown) class, he can also race the machine legally as a Super Stocker. The beautiful red car is as fast as it looks, too – capable of low 8-second e.t.’s. At the track and at the shop, Bell receives great support from dedicated right-hand man and crew chief Mike Stanfield.
