2008 LVCA Drag Racing Series

antoniov@nevarezracing.com — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:01:57 +0000

The 3rd drag racing event of the series was held at The Strip on Saturday evening, August 9, 2008. Sixteen Corvettes competed on a very warm and humid evening with the temperature still 100 degrees when eliminations started at 11:20 PM. The track allowed LVCA about 20 minutes of Corvette only time trial practice. During this initial and later time trial sessions we witnessed a heads up shootout between the big dog supercharged Vettes driven by Vic Heackley and Jim LeMar and Gil Nevarez’s hot twin turbo charged GTO. We are talking about some real serious tire shredding horsepower in street driven cars. After the smoke settled each one of them won different rounds. Jim and Vic were running in the mid to upper 10 second range and Gil finally put down a 9.9 at 143 mph. Stop by NRP and Gil can hook you up with some more horsepower.

During the eliminations a very happy and excited 18 year old Greyson Pendry with an 82 C4 worked his way to the final round. This was his second drag racing event with LVCA. During the first event a few months ago, he destroyed the clutch during time trials and had to leave early. Willy Salzmann and MCR replaced the clutch and he was ready to race. After eliminating several veteran racers to include yours truly, Mike Sollish handed him his only loss.
