My friend Vic taught me in his 70 Camaro LT in the marina parking lot around the corner from my house. Wide ratio Saginaw 4 speed behind a 2 barrel 350 with headers is perfect for this. You didn't need the gas pedal with that car; I got the takeoff point in about 30 seconds. We spent most of the next hour attempting to do the Jim Rockford 180, but his 225/70/14 Dunlop radials made that very tricky.
