El Camino / Figure 8 Race Car
Monster Garage - Season 2

DESCRIPTION

1971 Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport / Figure 8 Race Car What is figure 8 racing? It's racing around a track shaped like ... well, a figure 8. As you can imagine, the possibilities of collision (at speeds of 60 mph or more) at that center intersection are super high, so the cars, much like demolition-derby cars, are built to take a beating. • Jesse James, custom-bike builder/designer, West Coast Choppers, Long Beach, Calif. • Bruce Berkey, animator and former Ford Motors designer, Pasadena, Calif. • Scott Burson, rental-equipment service and repairman, San Bernadino, Calif. • James Hollan, special-effects artist and mechanical fabricator, Tujunga, Calif. • Mark Nelson, manager, West Coast Choppers, Long Beach, Calif. • Rod Proctor, restaurant owner, Riverside, Calif. • Jeremy Stets, pipe welder, Carlisle, Pa. • ""Barefoot"" Billy Ziemann, tow-truck driver, Bloomington, Calif.
