Hot Chevys and Warm Sun

There's a quality about the sunshine and clear air in Phoenix that makes the Chevys standout. Of course, maybe it's just that the Southwest seems to have the best Chevys. We don't want to play favorites, but we look forward to being in the beautiful desert Southwest in the springtime. What's more, we double our pleasure later on, by taking another trip to nearby Tucson, in November. Super Chevy Shows take us to all the right places.

You won't see it happen too often at other race series, but Dan Nickelson's starting line professionalism was impressive. His brand-new Corvette Nitro Coupe balked at fire-up (only its third time out). His competition, Bruce Boland, had already fired up, done his burnout, and was backing towards the starting line when Nickelson's car finally started, after being hand pushed. The Firebird track starter was about a second away from disqualifying Dan when the engine roared to life. By the time Dan backed into the burnout box, Bruce was staged, so Dan did a "short hop" burnout and rolled into the lights without really heating up the tires. Of course his car was a little tough to handle on the run, but at least Boland didn't have to pay a price for Dan's problem. That's being a Pro and it's part of Super Chevy Shows.
