YouTube - 55 chevy 6sec

Looks like Monty Berney and "Big Bertha"....

At one point, Monty sold the car to Rick Dyer (of CARS Inc fame) and was campaigned in the NMCA "Pro Street" category. This is the car that hit the wall and caught fire in Memphis Finals in 1994. Danny Scott won the event in his seafoam '66 Chevelle with a 7.85 (on seven cylinders!).

Since the date of the video seems to be 2007, apparently Monty got it back (or re-created it!).

Yeah Keith, it does look like Monty Berney and Big Bertha, although he always ran n2o motors back in the day.

Re: Too good not to share

It was another version of Big Bertha. He sold it after the orlando shootout I believe. He built another one. Promod 55. Danny Freitas built the chassis for the promod.
