Chevelle Test & Tune – May 4th 2022

May 4, 2022:

Today Chris took his Chevelle wagon out to Pacific Raceways for a Test & Tune session after working on his car during the winter. The last time the Wagon was on the strip was September 14, 2019.

Chris reported that the car ran well with the new valve springs, roller lifters, new fuel cell and 4.86 gears in the rear, but that the old slicks need replacing after turning the tires on the starting line.

Here are the test session results from Wednesday evening:

T1: 10.592 @ 124.74 MPH – 1.433 60′

T2: 10.621 @ 124.90 MPH – 1.423 60′

T3: 10.581 @ 125.47 MPH – 1.431 60′

A nice start for Chris this 2022 season! – Roger
