Grant Howell's 1937 Chev Coupe called Fast Orange
/
1937 Chev Coupe we call Fast Orange, my wife Dayle and I have campaigned this car in the Canada West Doorslammer Series out of Mission Raceway for the last 18 Years. We won the championship in 2008 and runnered up in 2005. It didn’t start out so good, after purchasing the car from Karl Gronmyr in 2000 we were making our first practice hits at Western Speedway when the Throttle hung open, and it crashed off the end of the track. After a complete rebuild we started over. It has had 5 Motor combinations over the years, from 468 ci to 706 ci, and now for the last 8 years, we have run a twin carbureted naturally aspirated 632 ci motor that makes 1290 Hp. Running a best of 7.43@182 mph. The trans is an air shifted Lenco with Bruno converter drive. We have raced Bakersfield California, Seattle, Pt. Alberni, Ashcroft and Mission. Thanks to Dayle for letting me live my dream.
