You may be familiar with Larry Hamilton Jr. ("Right Place, Right Time," Apr. '09), but you should also get to know his father, Larry Hamilton Sr, of Elgin, Illinois. Using LS power in his '01 Z28, Larry Sr. runs 10.95 at 122 mph on motor, with an impressive 1.46 60-foot on M/T drag radials. To run this quick, Larry uses an LS6 short-block, topped with a set of APE 6.0L heads. Commanding the valvetrain is a custom Speed Inc. 235/240, 0.643/0.609-inch lift, 111-LSA camshaft, which must make a ton of power. A Strange 12-bolt and FLT Level 3 transmission keeps everything turning, while a smorgasbord of suspension pieces keep everything hooked up. Larry plans on spraying it with 150-rwhp worth of nitrous in the spring, which should hopefully net him some low 10-second slips. Not bad for a stock bottom end and 3,600-pounds.
