No stranger to drag-and-drive competitions, Big 3 Racing co-owner Chuck Stefanski is readying his 1981 LeMans station wagon for Sick Week.

The rowdy-looking wagon has four seats and a ProCharger big-block.

Project 899 is the culmination of a well-thought-out plan implemented by a determined and talented team in just nine days.

From a bare rolling chassis to an 8-second race car, this project is a winner.

Building a race car can take months or even years.

Follow along as we attempt to do it in 9 days and make an 8-second pass with Project 899.
