THE GREAT CROSS-COUNTRY CAMARO TOUR








...also known as the "Scare The USA In Your Chevrolet" Tour. General Motors Racing has entrusted DRO correspondent Susan Wade with the use of one of its limited-edition 35th Anniversary 2002 Camaro SS convertibles. The sporty "Bright Rallye Red" and silver Camaro with the muscular pushrod V-8 engine drew oohs and aahs at the recent NHRA U.S. Nationals. Now that top qualifiers Kenny Bernstein and Whit Bazemore have taken rides down the famed Indianapolis Raceway Park quarter-mile in this particular car, it is on its way to a new home in Seattle -- where the abundant rain will ensure that a limited-edition convertible stays in mint condition. DRO invites you ride along as Wade and Mom take to America's highways to deliver the Camaro -- and some intriguing sights and personalities along the way.

Here we go with Day 1 . . .

Camaro Funny Car driver Ron Capps, finishing a day of testing for the Don Prudhomme-owned Skoal Racing Team at IRP following the U.S. Nationals, gave us a proper sendoff. Then it was Love, Pittsboro Style, as we stopped in the hometown of Chevrolet racing headliner Jeff Gordon.
