Heads-up racing can be a cutthroat and brutal affair for those who make the choice to put their car in the beams. The level of competition is usually sky-high, and so the smallest mistake can cost you a win. Virginia native Brent Austin has been competing at some of the toughest No Prep events in the country this season with his ’69 Camaro that goes by the moniker of “Megalodon”, and learned just how difficult it can be. Austin’s new car, known as “Zeus”, could become king of the No Prep world and feed on all it lines up against.

Austin, a chassis builder by trade, built Zeus to see just how far his knowledge and experience could go. Zeus was also built to keep up with the level of competition that Austin has been seeing at different No Prep events.

“We went to several No Prep races this year, in Texas and Kansas, and we figured out real quick that their version of No Prep racing is a lot different than what we have in Virginia. To keep up with the competition we had to step things up, so the idea of building Zeus was born,” Austin says.

Just like Megalodon, Austin has built most of Zeus himself at home in his shop. The new Camaro is a 25.1 Pro Mod-style chassis that Greg Chandler laid down Austin’s trademark deep Titanium Poly hue on. Powering Zeus will be an Austin-built 526 cubic inch Hemi that uses a 14:71 Kobelco supercharger, backed by a TH400 transmission.

Austin plains to have Zeus on the track getting initial testing done sometime in August, and then it will be off to see how well his new ride does against the best in the No Prep racing world.
