The Chevelle was a mid-sized car produced by Chevrolet from 1963 through 1968.
It was developed on the GM A-Body platform that was shared with the Pontiac Lemans & GTO, Buick Skylark, and Oldsmobile Cutlass. When one thinks of the muscle car wars, the GM A-Body was where it got taken up a notch when John Delorean decided to snub his nose at GM and put a big V8 into a medium sized car. The most popular car of the bunch was hands down the Chevelle. It went through three generations and a variety of changes, but they were all distinctly Chevelle. It was offered with a number of engine and transmission configuration. Everything from a tiny 6 cylinder all the way to the big block 454 could be selected. It has a storied racing history on the Drag Strip and in NASCAR. The best years for the Chevelle were in the first two generations spanning to 1972. The final generation still retains some popularity for building drag cars, but it’s mainly because they aren’t expensive and provide a big enough engine bay and good chassis. 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.
