SEMINARS A SUCCESS
As usual, there were a pair of well-attended seminars on racing topics: Friday was on “Chevy Thunder,” the history of Chevrolet’s small-block V-8 engine, introduced in 1955, with the basic architecture still in use today. Panelists included moderator Ray Evernham, racer Dale Earnhardt, Jr., former GM racing head Herb Fishel, NASCAR’s Dr. Eric Warren, and racers David Hobbs, Brian Redman and George Follmer.
