Does anyone out there know of a car called "Mr Z11"? I vaguely remember seeing this car at a local outlaw drag strip near Fort Bragg North Carolina when I was in the Army. The car was an altered wheelbase racer, the predecessor to funny cars, as I recall, and running the Z-11 W-block, 427 ci if I remember correctly. The drag strip was a riot. Cars running down and back on the same pavement, passengers in the cars, snack bar on the pit side, so everybody traversing the track between runs....I guess liability was not a concern back then. I remember the car as a '63....rear axle pulled up near the doors, F/X style. Best thing going the particular Sunday I was there. (60s)
