The country’s top award for a performance based Street Machine was
presented to North Lake, Wisconsin’s Erv Roller Saturday Night, July
12th at the Goodguys 11th PPG Nationals in Columbus, OH. Woller’s 1969
Camaro, known as “RAZOR”, was built by the Ring Bros. of Spring Green,
Wisconsin, the same team that produced last year’s Street Machine of
the Year winner. That’s the first time in the fourteen year history of
the award the winning car was produced by the same build team in
consecutive seasons.
Featuring a two-tone gray and orange design, “Hunter” leather interior,
carbon fiber hood and decklid, a Detroit Speed & Engineering
“Quadralink” suspension and one-off custom Budnik wheels, Woller’s
Camaro exudes class and ingenuity. Both Mike and Jim Ring, known for
their ability to design and fabricate parts from carbon fiber as well
as their finesse in body and paint applications, completely repainted
“RAZOR” during a 96-hour period over the 4th of July holiday weekend.
The car debuted June 27th at a Goodguys event in Nashville and when the
car hit the sunlight, they saw some flaws they knew would not serve the
car well in Columbus – the biggest stage there is for Street Machines.
“It was painful decision,” said Jim Ring. “Mike and I were at each
other’s throats and our wives may never talk to us again. It had to be
done. You build a car like this for this event and this award. It means
everything.”
