The Chevy II / Nova is a small car built by Chevrolet on the X-Body platform from 1961 to 1979 and spanned four distinct generations.
There was technically a fifth generation, but it was a different platform and not considered by many to be qualified to run the nameplate because it was based on a front wheel drive Toyota platform. The first four generations were available in a number of configurations, but the two door hardtop is the most popular. It came available with a number of different engines ranging from a small 2.4l four cylinder all the way to a burly 402 V8. It was a popular performance car because if it’s small size, light weight, and big V8 Engines. National Trail Raceway is an NHRA member track that began life back in 1964. The complex sits on 320 acres, and back when it was built it was the fifth largest track of its kind in the united states. It plays host to a number of very popular events every year, some of them being Night of Thunder, the Mopar Nationals, Import Face-Off, and Jegs ET Series. Drag Racing is probably one of our favorite events to go record. There is just something about being down on the burnout pad with the drag cars and the different crew members running around while the racers are staging their cars and tearing down the strip. It’s the best kind of chaos to be around because it is so coordinated. RPM Army (previously known as Wrench Moran Motorsports) has been around for several years. Here at RPM Army on YouTube we focus on local motorsports events. The goal is to provide the best local coverage of racing events in the central Ohio area. The events usually involve drag racing, tractor pulling, tough truck, off road racing, and mudding. The goal of recording the events we visit is to create shareable videos for the racers and fans of specific cars. Because of that, we usually don’t produce longer videos. Instead we create videos of single runs so the drive or crew can share it across social platforms. While our exclusive content on YouTube only covers events in the Ohio Valley area, we invite subscribers to come and visit the site or email us to share pictures and stories about your own rides so we can, in turn, share your projects with the world. If you have a cool video or anything else you feel is worth sharing navigate to the about section on the channel and drop us a line or go to www.rpmarmy.com and submit your story to the sharing section! Our videos have been featured on a number of websites and TV shows over the years. One of the more interesting projects was being a contributor to Fat ‘N Furious on the Discovery Channel over the course of two seasons. Typically the contributions were clips for their introduction for each project car. Aside from our YouTube channel we also operate on several other social platforms, and our website. We also plan on expanding the types of content that we produce in the coming future. Aside from video production and sharing other creators videos on our website, we would like to start putting out articles about product reviews for different types of vehicles. Currently we have a 1972 Pontiac LeMans that has seen a number of different chassis updates, and we are excited to start writing articles about that drag car project.
