NHRA legend Larry Dixon at the end of last season, was dismissed from the team of Bob Vandergriff Racing, which is at the very beginning of this championship was suddenly disbanded on the initiative of its owner. Remaining out of work three-time champion in the class Top Fuel did not lose time in vain, and more recently marked a new record net kvotere time on the Australian Championship.
A few days ago it became known that one of the most renowned racers Association decided to participate in the Hot Rod Drag Week 2016.
Recall that the Drag Week represents an unprecedented annual event, which is in its essence and scale simply does not have analogues in the world. For one week, participants should act in five races, which are held on four strips of America, and the whole point is that between the stages of the competition pilots can only move at the wheel of their cars. Not all run to the final of Event because equipment simply can not withstand such loads and dregster service capabilities in a way limited by two people and a set of spare parts, which they can take with them.
Dixon will roll out on its Drag Week Chevrolet Nova «66, which has since 1988. Initially under the hood was a 350-th Small-unit (5.7 l), with an automatic transmission sagregatirovanny TN350. However, the competition for the champion decided to give up stock options in favor of the modern motor LT4 capacity of 650 hp, which is factory set to the most popular version of the road car concern General Motors, such as the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Cadillac CTS-V and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Mate Larry in this difficult journey would be Eric Reyes, whose upcoming Drag Week will also be the first in my life.
What progress be able to achieve a veteran in a completely new discipline for themselves, we learn in six weeks and be sure to share with you the reports with this iconic event. Well, the old-timers to the news reacted like this: „From beginners — beer, and you, Mr. Dixon, not the exception.“
