’71 Chevelle Wagon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been since September 2019 since Chris’ wagon hit the strip. Last winter we installed new PacAloy<\/em> valve springs and he is currently working on replacing his roller lifters with a new set of Isky Red-Zone Endurance lifters<\/em> to extend the life of his 406 SBC engine. He will also need to re-certify his driver restraints, wants to replace his slicks and will need to purchase a new helmet for the 2022 season. He’s also working on getting some weight off the back of the car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re looking forward to seeing the Wagon back out at the track!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update March 15, 2022<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chris has the new lifters in the motor, new 9310 4.86 gears in the rear, new & smaller\/lighter fuel cell in the back and nearly ready for 2022!<\/strong><\/p>\n

His 4.71 rear gears had 300 runs on them since we set them up!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update March 27, 2022<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today Chris fired up the wagon and set the ignition timing, next stop the track.<\/strong><\/p>\n

’57 Chev:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we decide to run the ’57 in 2022, I’ll need to re-certify the belts and inspect the left rear axle for spline twist after our runs in 2021. This fall we took both static and centrifugal pressure out of our Ram<\/em> clutch.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update<\/span>: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On January 30, 2022 Jamie Roth announced due to Covid requirements at the border, all B.C. Supershifters<\/em> events were going to be held at Mission Raceway’s in 2022 which makes sense. Therefore I’ll be parking our ’57 for at least the 2022 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This pandemic has completely disrupted my plans for the ’57 along with other stick-shift teams in our area, and at my age, I no longer have the desire to spend the time and money to move forward. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

’85 Mustang:<\/strong><\/p>\n

No upgrades scheduled at this time, in fact Paul may take the 2022 season off from driving his car and focus on more activities with his son, Isaak.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

’66 Pontiac:<\/strong><\/p>\n

No upgrades scheduled for Torri’s car at this time. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
