Snobalt Preparation and the WannaGoFast 1/2 Mile

Oct 3, 2016

Ever wonder what it takes to prepare for the WannaGoFast ½ mile? Take a behind-the-scenes look at what Ryan Derrick is doing to prepare the legendary Snobalt for its return. Holding the record for the fastest LNF ½ mile trap speed, the Snobalt is known as one of the cleanest and most powerful daily driven LNF Cobalts in the Midwest. Determined to raise the bar on trap speed and show everyone what ZZP’s cars are capable of, Ryan Derrick has been putting in a lot time to prep the Snobalt for this race. With special brackets being custom made by ZZP’s fabrication team  for speed sensors, the rewiring of the whole ECU to run Regal harness, New tires, aggressive tuning, and new turn disk clutch, the Snobalt is sure to come out faster than ever.
