NOPI Hot Rod Chevy Cobalt

New Jersey native Jamie Farrer joined the Gardella Racing team in 2006 to drive the Hot Rod Chevy Cobalt.  Farrer is a seasoned driver and car enthusiast who, in the early 2000’s when Sport Compact Racing was in its infancy, raced his 10-second car in the Pro Fwd class.  After some time off, Farrer was excited to join Gardella Racing as both a part-time driver and crew member on the championship-winning Hot Rod Chevy Cobalt.  In 2008, he’ll continue to drive and crew for the Hot Rod car at select NOPI drag racing events.
