These all-new GMT355 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks “are not evolutions of the S-10 and Sonoma, pickup versions of the TrailBlazer/Envoy or joint-venture vehicles with Isuzu,” says assistant vehicle chief engineer Al Oppenheiser. What they ,are is bigger and substantially better than their 22-year-old GM predecessors and best-in-class in nearly every way, according to GM.

They share no parts save a seat frame with the venerable S-10 and Sonoma trucks they replace. And they share little in common with those GMT360/370 mid-size SUV stablemates except 2.8L I-4 and 3.5L I-5 derivations of the widely praised 4.2L DOHC VVT I-6 engine.

Comparing the base louts and the five to competitive standard V-6s, they offer better power, torque, economy and range, plus the largest interiors on regular and crew-cabs, the largest bed volumes ,and the most cargo tie-downs in their class. They also have at least two important exclusives: head curtain side air bags and a dual-position locking tailgate.

The Alcohol Funny Car is more work, but you get to drive more with a Funny Car than you do with a dragster. It’s fun; it’s different. With a dragster, you point it and guide it along the line. With a Funny Car, every once in a while it gets out of the groove and you have to manhandle it. You can drive a dragster farther than you can drive a Funny Car. There are certain times when you have to shut off the Funny Car because it’s not going to make it. I don’t like to shut off any run, but being in a Funny Car definitely makes it more exciting for me as the driver.

Going fast is what drag racing is all about. We raced money brackets, then Super Stock and Comp for many years before moving to Top Alcohol Dragster in 1985. Comp is one of those classes in which an index change can mean your whole engine combination must be thrown away. In Super Stock, with breakout rules, you would run down the quarter-mile, then hit the brakes. Alcohol is a heads-up class in which you work on your car and the fastest car wins (most of the time). Alcohol is where I like to be and where I have the most fun racing.

I am locked in a tight battle right now with Jim Sickles for the Division 2 points lead. Sickles is ahead, and whenever you are ahead, you are in control of your own destiny. He has a good car and three wins this year, and those three wins came at our expense; however, we haven’t run up to our full potential.

We had a few gremlins to begin the year. We had 22 runs during which we hurt the engine. We got everything turned around, and right now, performance-wise, we are back where we were during testing at the beginning of the season. The Valvoline Chevy Camaro is beginning to run much better and more consistent. My crew and the people at Valvoline and Hoosier Tires are really making an effort to put us in a good position to win the division.

My crew is an important part of my success and my ability to remain competitive. My wife, Shelly, is a tremendous asset to our team. Shelly raced in Top Fuel for years, and that experience helps me. When we are on the starting line with the engine running and they put down the body, Shelly is in charge. She watches everything. She is very thorough, and she is really good at reading the track.

Though I live in California, home of Division 7, I race in Division 2. Before they added the Las Vegas national event, we didn’t have any national events after Pomona and Phoenix on the West Coast until June. We just got tired of zigzagging back and forth across the country for national events. In 1993, we lost the national championship in TAD to Blaine Johnson by a few points - bonus points from division races. We took a map, laid out all of the races, and planned our schedule based on geography and where the points races were in comparison to the national events. That’s how we ended up in Division 2. It used to be that we would put 50,000 miles a year on our crew cab driving back and forth across the country; now we are down to about 30,000 miles. We use the extra time to work on the car instead of hauling it all around.

Last season, Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford teams battled to the wire for the championship. This season, defending champion Travis Kvapil and teammate and former series champion Mike Skinner have jumped on the Toyota bandwagon, so the talent is evenly dispersed among the manufacturers. Each of them has a standout performer who should sparkle this season:

The 2004 Chevrolet Colorado, a.k.a. GMC Canyon, a midsize pickup, will be offered in three cab styles, three suspension packages and 2WD or 4WD. The Vortec 4200 16 fathered the engines used in the Colorado-a 2.8L 14 that produces 175 hp and 185 ft-lb of torque and a 3.5L 15 with 220 hp and 225 ft-lb of torque. Both use a balance shaft for smooth revving, electronic throttle, plus variable valve timing. A new ladder-type frame offers improved torsional rigidity.

Chevy Racer: NASCAR Ausweichen Autos Erlebt

We plan to debut a front-wheel-drive ‘03 Chevy Cavalier this spring in NHRA’s Pro FWD class. I will go on record in saying that this new Chevrolet will be the fastest frontwheel-drive car, period! The amount of technology that is behind this Cavalier is awesome, and when we debut it, a lot of jaws will drop.

This race car is even safer than the car we raced last year. GM Racing Safety Manager Tom Gideon was involved in the car’s construction from day one. With his guidance, GM Racing developed a structure that from the firewall back to where I sit is signif- icantly stronger than my previous car, yet it is lighter.

From a technology standpoint, a lot of the things we couldn’t do last year have been incorporated into this car. This Cavalier was built from a clean slate - built from the ground up exactly how we thought it should be based on what we learned in 2002. I’m confident that on the first runs we make, the competition will be impressed.

Being part of the GM Racing program has been a lot of fun. Everybody I’ve been involved with, from marketing to racing to the team within GM, has been absolutely fantastic. I can safely say that I’ve never met a more enthusiastic group. GM has approached it on a super-professional basis from a safety standpoint to an all-out performance point of view. It also has been fantastic in tying in all of the marketing behind the program to really get out the message about what a great up-and-coming series this is. When GM looks at this market segment, it sees a huge potential in car and aftermarket parts sales. The 16-to-30-year-old segment is a tremendous demographic in terms of sheer numbers, and we have to market to it a little differently. What’s going on now with the NHRA Sport Compact Drag Racing Series is very similar to what was going on during the hot-rod craze of the 1950s and ’60s.

We’ve had such good success with the Ecotec engine program that people are beginning to look at the Cavalier or Sunfire as an option to purchase instead of an import car. The Sunfire is also making huge headway; Marty Ladwig is doing a great job with that program in the series’ Hot Rod class.

NHRA’s Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series is growing daily. I see it in my business, Ferrea Racing Components, and I hear it from individuals in the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series who are extremely interested in what’s going on. NHRA has addressed the Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series well, and it is moving forward with some new lifestyle events that will appeal to our audience.

One example of how NHRA is committed to growing the series was its decision to separate the FWD and RWD cars. This will give the front-wheel-drive cars an equal playing field and goes back to the roots in which this sport was founded: as a four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive phenomenon. I think it was the best move NHRA could have made, and from a competition standpoint and for the fans, it’s going to be better.

We’re looking forward to the two Extreme Rush exhibitions at NHRA’s national events in Chicago in May and Dallas in October. That’s going to be a tremendous, series showcase for the race fans and for NHRA’s other racers who have been hearing about us. It will give drag racing enthusiasts a firsthand look at what’s going on within the Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series and what we’re all about I think the Chicago and Dallas events will provide an outstanding stage for our series and for our brands.

With our season set to begin, I would like to thank Steve Bothwell of Bothwell Motorsports and Don Taylor, Josh Peterson, Russ O’Blenes, and Tom Gideon of GM Racing for providing me with the opportunity to compete in a first-class racing program. I also want to thank Marty Ladwig, the best teammate any racer could have, and everyone at Ferrea Racing Components for taking care of the business while I’m away. I also want to thank my wife, Tania, and my two kids, Jennifer and Alexander, for putting up with the long hours that are inherent with a professional racer’s life; I couldn’t do it without your love and support.
