'39 Chev Coupe circuit racer

A little o/t but so cool to see him mixing it up in the muscle car class.
I believe it's an all steel car with a 350/5spd/9".
He is down on horsepower compared with some of the big $$ cars in the class, but still had a heap of fun.

 

kinda' looks out of place on the road track but I hope he whips some late model ass.
I'll bet the other racers have some 'Big Yellow' jokes but.... it has a huge cool factor.

 

The class he's in is full of U.S and Aussie muscle cars ( including some pretty rare pieces),
so he's in good company.

 

Do you know anything about his chassis and suspension?
Is that a vintage racing class?

 

Unfortunately there was too much going on in the pits to talk for long so not too many details on the chassis and suspension sorry. The class is called
Central Muscle cars and is run as a 2 tier class tier 1 allows more glass panels and bigger wheel/tire combos and tier 2 is more for the resto racer.
