    How cool does Neil Robbins have to be to let another guy drive his 421-powered '63 Vette? That other dude is Bill Richmond, and he's gone 10.20s on motor with another 400hp nitrous shot that's yet to be triggered.

    Rick Kornowski got jacked. He should have won Byron's Longest Distance money hands down, but this eighth-mile blast happened Saturday before the official contest on Sunday.
