Update on Jason Line and Greg Anderson

The Southern Nationals were held last weekend with a rain delay.  Still, our great team of Greg and Jason managed to come in 4th and 5th place in the Pro - Stock division.  Team Chevy came in 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th.  Go get em, boys!  We're behind you 100%!

Jason Line Wins the Spring Nationals

A couple of weeks ago our Summit Racing Team came to visit for our Racing Appreciation Day.  We had a great time with the drivers of our Pro Stock Camaros.  

Yesterday Jason Line won the NHRA Pro Stock division at the Spring Nationals in his Summit Racing Chevy Camaro. He posted a 6.589 for a 211.99 mph win.  He's had a tough time this year but the tables have turned and we look forward to more wins this year!  

Go Jason Go!

Racing Appreciation Day was Fantastic!

The turnout for our Racing Appreciation Day was great and the cars were hot!  The drivers did interviews and besides the 2 Camaros we had HTown Racing's car, a nitro fuel funny car, of course our own Dawson Racing's dragster, a 1952 3100 truck that was really sweet, and assorted other classics. Here are some pictures of the event but keep on the lookout for video and interviews!

Racing Appreciation Day at Findlay Chevrolet

We are so excited that it is finally here. Racing Appreciation Day! It's the day before the Nationals start at the Speedway. Tomorrow night - Wednesday the 3rd - and it's going to be a roaring good time!

Greg Anderson and Jason Line with Summit Racing are going to be here with their NHRA 2014 Camaro. Dawson Racing will be here with their dragster. HTown Racing is also going to be here - along with a surprise guest.  The adrenaline!!  

Also 102.7 Coyote Country is going to be doing a live remote and we're having a free BBQ!  Don't miss this one.  Stop by for some fun!

The Z/28 is Back!

My first car was a 1967 Z/28 that I dearly loved. Wish I still had it.

Are you as excited as I am about the 2014 Z/28?  It's a gorgeous car called "the most track-capable Camaro ever" right off the assembly line.  The outside is beautiful and the seats are sexy.  The exterior has been revised for high performance aerodynamics ... more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds! And, like the original, it will only come with a manual transmission!

According to Mark Reuss, president, GM North America:  "As the ultimate track-capable Camaro, this car restores the mission of the original Z/28 and serves as a testament to the expertise of Chevrolet as the best-selling brand of performance cars" and "This car could only come from Chevrolet and could only be called the Z/28." 

The hand assembled 7.0L LS7 engine (think Z06) delivers at least 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The chief engineer says "The broad torque curve and high redline of the LS7 mean fewer shifts are required and the lightweight design improves the front to rear weight balance for better handling."  We should be getting the Z28 late this year so if you are wanting a track ready Camaro or just want to relive the Camaro of your youth...please let  me know!

Having fun at the dragstrip!

In 2 days the Camaro NHRA-certified rolling chassis designed for drag racing will become available. At noon EST consumers will be able to call 1-800-306-3005 to get a purchase certificate - there will be only a limited number produced - and bring that certificate to us to complete the sale. Each Camaro will be fitted with an NHRA approved roll cage and other safety equipment, along with NHRA approved racing chassis and suspension components and Bogart racing wheels mounted on Hoosier tires.

Each specially numbered chassis is assembled by had at the same facility that constructs Chevy's COPO Camaro production race cars and will only be made in Summit White with a production Camaro hood and SS grille, racing seats, racing switch panel (plus other equipment) so the racer doesn't have to start from scratch. 

And speaking about racing, The Summit Racing Team will be here on April 3rd with one of their NHRA Camaros.  The Nationals are held in Las Vegas starting on April 5th. We are very excited to have the Team here. More info as we get closer to the Day!
