2004 Indy Super Chevy Show - Events & Shows

By now most Super Chevy readers and racers know that the folks at ATI ProCharger are putting their money where their mouth is by running their Nova with and without the ProCharger, and showing an average of 4-second and 40-mph improvement in quarter-mile times. They do this at many Super Chevy Shows, and they do all the installation at their booth in Manufacturer's Midway, with people watching. Then, to top it all off, they raffle off a complete system FREE to a lucky show attendee! What you may not know is that they make themselves available at many other events for free tech help, in person.

Jim Summers from Overland Park, Kansas, is the driver of the ATI Super Chevy Project Car Nova, but he is also their Motorsports Director. As to qualifications, Jim has a passel of 'em. He has raced cars in many categories but he really loves boat racing. His most recent escapades were in Tunnel Boats: powered by 122ci V-6 motors, good for speeds over 120 mph! After that, terra firma must seem like a drive in the park, even at 170 mph. Taking that experience and Jim's expertise in the engineering and installation of ProChargers on the road means that people who equip their racers with ATI products, and who just can't get it to lay down the power potential, have Summers right in their pit, right at the track, for free. Nice way to treat the customer, we'd have to say.

For truly mass quantities of smoke you can't beat the jet cars.

Normally the idea is to keep the doors on a Nitro Coupe closed but we caught the Thomasino car in staging and it definitely has a look this way.

Super Chevy is for girls, too.

Can't forget the boys, though.
The fans get involved showing Bob Hall they want a full quarter-mile wheelie;

he almost always cooperates.

Somewhere buried deep in that cloud of tire smoke is a Chicago Outlaw car. We've seen less smoke from four-wheel drive burnout contests. Our guess is that guy leaning on the fence to the right of the Camaro is just too amazed to move.

If we knew, we'd tell you but we have no idea who owns this car, what exact year and make it is, although it may be a Plymouth, or why it was parked all by itself. It did catch our eye, though so we'll share it with you.
