Texas racer Greg Lair has been racing fast doorslammers mostly with the old IHRA and more recently the NHRA since the mid 1980s when the Top Sportsman/Pro Mod class was invented by the IHRA. Lair really got serious about the class when he bought Blake Wiggin’s infamous “Wicked Wanda” Pontiac in the late ’80s.

Fast forward 25 years and Lair is still racing fast doorslammers, but instead of buying someone else’s car he went to Car Craft All-Star car builder Jerry Haas’s shop in the St. Louis suburb of Fenton, Mo., and ordered a 2012 Camaro that could race in any class from NHRA or ADRL Pro Stock down to Top Sportsman.
