What’s New For 2011?

’57 Chev:

The biggest problem for racing the ’57 is me, the driver! I’m still recovering from a disc problem in my lower back which causes severe pain in my right leg. If we get that resolved prior to the 2011 season, the ’57 will be back on the track. Just general maintenance, no big changes for the car and I was very pleased with the 10.602 we ran in 2010 at Pacific Raceways!.

71 Chevelle:

No big changes for the Chevelle. Chris was very happy with the performance and consistency of the car during the 2010 season. We’ll replace the valve springs and just general maintenance.

66 Tempest:

Chris wants to change the old rear control arms that have worn bushings over the winter. We hope this will make the 60-foot times more consistent.

Let us know what plans/updates you have for 2011!

Edwards & Young Racing

Feb 7 2011: We have the new valve springs, cap, rotor & plug wires installed in the Chevelle. New rear control arms and bracing installed in the Pontiac waiting for the Spring races!

Feb 19 2011: We have our one rocker arm back from Crower for our ’57 that needed the trunion bearings replaced. Outstanding service by Crower !
