GM ECOtec VIP Owners Meet NOPI Englishtown, May 4

NOPI Englishtown marked the second GM ECOtec VIP Owners Meet of the year. We were a bit concerned about the weather due to the fact that it was very cold and overcast with light rain and heavy wind on Saturday. We stayed positive and continued to setup the GM VIP area and it paid off big time. Come Saturday morning, it still looked bleak, but at about 11:00 in the afternoon, the sun came out and warmed everything up just right!

This event went great. We had over 31 ECOtec VIP cars and about 60 fans in attendance. They received a treat this weekend, with a full-on tour of the new HHR SS and the 2008 Turbo Cobalt SS with Brian Brown, the Chevy HHR and Cobalt marketing manager. Soon after that, Carmen Smith took the group on a pit tour of all the ECOtec/Cobalt racers. This is when the fun really began. The owners were able to get up close and personal with all of the racers and their racecars. They had a blast asking questions and talking about how they make power and what parts they use. After the tour, we all went to the grandstands to cheer on our favorite Cobalt racers as they were running extremely well this weekend and were set to run some serious numbers! read more...
