Barely four weeks after one of the ACDelco Top Doorslammer Drag team Monaros was involved in a racing incident which saw their season hanging in the balance, the team has put in a huge repair effort and is set to go head-to-head against the competition at the Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway in Ipswich this weekend.
“Our last race meet was one heck of an experience,” said Team Principal, Maurice Fabietti. “On one hand, we were on top of the podium with Sam Fenech, on the other we were in the news for all the wrong reasons due to the incident with Craig Burns when his parachutes failed to deploy at 380km/h.
“Thankfully the crew has been able to work some miracles and we will have two cars representing the ACDelco Monaro Slammer team at the Winternationals.
“This event is drag racing’s Bathurst, it’s something everyone wants to be a part of and I’m so proud of the team who have worked tirelessly to ensure we’re there.”
This year’s Winternationals hold particular significance for GM as well as the team.
“This will be a memorable weekend, as it will be the final roar for the Monaro before it’s removed from the chassis in the off-season and reimagined using a fully composite, GM designed, Chevrolet Camaro body,” said Chris Payne, General Manager Chevrolet Racing.
“The Camaro componentry is manufactured by GM’s licensee Five Star Bodies in North Carolina USA and has now arrived in Australia, so we can start to make some exciting changes ahead of the new season.
“The reimagined Camaro drag car will sit alongside the Chevrolet Racing Gen3 Camaro Supercar, representing an exciting new era of Chevrolet Racing.”
As Chevrolet Racing embarks on this transformative journey with the reimagined Camaro, it’s clear that innovation and quality remain at the forefront of their strategy.
Just as the Monaro gives way to a new era with a composite Camaro body, vehicle enthusiasts and racers alike can benefit from high-quality upgrades to enhance their rides.
