After three days of test runs at a drag track near Tulsa, Okla., Greg Stanfield believes he discovered the reason the new Nitro Fish/Coffman Tank Trucks Pro Stock Camaro was not performing like he thought it should.
“We have had issues in the last few races so we tested it against Kenny Koretsky’s GXP . . . and when we were finished, what it came down to was that we are down on horsepower,” commented Stanfield, who is the team’s engine builder. “The good news is the Camaro is good to go. There is nothing wrong with it.”
Stanfield and the Nitro Fish/Coffman Tank Trucks Camaro crew don’t have to wait long to see how well the car will run. They will be in Topeka when the Dollar General NHRA Summer Nationals get underway at Heartland Park Topeka, May 18-20.
He drove the car into the semifinals in its initial race at Las Vegas last month, but three straight first-round losses dropped Stanfield from sixth to eighth place in Full Throttle series standings.
“We used Kenny Koretsky’s GXP to help find the answers,” Stanfield continued. “We’ve had problems with the car at the last three races. “We ran every motor we had in both cars to compare the results. Now we have a lot or work to do.
“We did learn a lot and we were able to fix the other problems we found.”
