PRI 2011: Mike Castellana’s New 2011 Camaro Pro Modified Entry

It isn’t the first and it certainly won’t be the last, but Mike Castellana’s brand spankin’ new fifth-generation Camaro is arguably the best-looking, most accurate rendition we’ve seen to date, and since its unveiling this fall, drag racing fans have been champing at the bit to see this up and close and personal and on the race track.

Built by Rick Jones Race Cars, this badass piece of art is draped in a lightweight, carbon fiber version of Chevrolet’s popular new-age muscle car, utilizing a sleek, aerodynamic body created by Five Star Race Car Bodies. The Ultra Lite carbon body weighs just 53 pounds in all.

Mike Castellana's new Al-Anabi Racing '11 Camaro is the first such car from Rick Jones Race Cars sporting the new lightweight Five Star body.

The Al-Anabi Racing Camaro receives its motivation from a monstrous 864-inch Reher Morrison-built powerplant, fed insane portions of nitrous oxide via a Speedtech Nitrous system. Sander wheels wrapped in Hoosier rubber plant the slicks to the pavement through a lightweight aluminum 9-inch Strange Engineering modular rear end housing. Up front, you’ll also find some slick, black Sander wheels paired with Strange Engineering brakes.

The 2011 ADRL Pro Nitrous champion is expected to debut this, the first of the Five Star-bodied 2011 Chevy Camaro’s, at the NHRA Get Screened America NHRA Pro Mod Series opener in Gainesville, Fla., March 10-13.
