With the truck finished on a Saturday evening we loaded it into a trailer with our Super Chevy Suspension and Handling Challenge contender '68 Nova to head to California the next morning.
At the event on Monday, on non-sticky everyday street tires with no real tuning other than a quick shock adjustment, right out of the box the truck was faster than the test bed 2015 Z06 Corvette through the slaloms. They also let us a run a few shakedown laps on the road course however because it wasn't competing in the challenge we don't have official lap times to report. Jay, our driver, said it easily hung with the Nova we brought which was right on pace with the other contenders.
Thanks to Super Chevy magazine, the shake down laps gave us some good feedback and you'll see the results of some tuning at upcoming Goodguys events. As of today the truck should be tearing it up at the Goodguys in Loveland CO and will do so for the weekend. Stay tuned to the build thread for an up coming photo shoot and race results.
