Steve Nichols has been bringing his Mill Road Boys ’70 Camaro all the way from Newark, Delaware for the past few years, it’s now the quickest and fastest Chevrolet-powered nostalgia nitro flopper after nailing a second round 6.182 at 222.66 under tuning consultant Gene Amaya. With that second round effort Nichols was assured a final round berth and went on to defeat Arizona’s Mike Adams in the final.
