Featured Rides
I missed having a featured ride article for the month of July as there was so much going on and I was unable to coordinate a shoot with one of our amazing photographers but I promise we will make up for it in August! We were contacted a few weeks ago by a beautiful model named Rikki and scheduled a Dan Joy Photoshoot with her for Saturday, August 2nd. We were locked in to be shooting with Turk's 2012 Audi R8 and Mook's 1998 Supra. Everything was set for the shoot as we had locked down a great garage to shoot in, but we contacted Rikki a couple of days before the shoot to confirm and received no response. As it was getting later and later on the Friday before the shoot we began to panic as we had still not heard from the model. Then at about 7:00pm Friday evening a family member of Rikki's contacted us to let us know that she had a health issue and was going to be in the hospital over the weekend. We were saddened to hear this news and we hope she is doing well as we have not heard any further details. Being that the stars had all aligned to get the location, photographer and cars scheduled, the shoot had to go on and we scrambled to find a replacement model. In stepped the beautiful Angela Angelovska whom we had the pleasure of working with just a couple months ago. We contacted Angela and she just happened to have a few hours on Saturday free to come to Chicago.
Early in May, I received an email from a person named Darrian who was interested in having their 2013 ZL1 Camaro featured on ShockerRacing.com. I asked for some photos and some more details about the car and what mods had been done to the car. Darrian sent me some pics of the black fifth generation ZL1 Camaro and explained that it was stock. I thought to myself, where is the story here? Yes, the ZL1 Camaro is potent in stock form being powered by the supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter overhead valve LSA V-8 from GM. It's rocking 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque and will hit 0-60 in 4.2 seconds but you can read about that and see pics in any Road and Track or Motor Trend magazine. I was then informed that Darrian had a photoshoot scheduled with none other than Goyk Photo and that SHE was a member of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Indy Girls Team! I began to put the puzzle pieces together and found out that Darrian Arch was also Miss Indiana Teen USA for 2013.

ShockerRacing began working on picking a featured ride for the month of May just hours after getting off the phone with SR member C5Z06SpeedJon. Jon had called to discuss his latest plan to supercharge his Electron Blue 2002 Corvette Z06. When we starting considering our options for the Featured Ride, we realized that SR now had three boosted Electron Blue Z06 Corvettes in the club all that would be pushing 700 plus horsepower(Spdkilz, Smoothblue, C5Z06SpeedJon). All three Vettes are similar with color, power, and attitude but that's where the similarities end...
When ShockerRacing decided to do a feature on this wild Z06 Corvette we knew we had to find a model for the photoshoot that would match the attitude and sexiness of the car. Enter Jamie Barwick a linemen for the Legends Football League's Chicago Bliss. We knew that since Jamie plays linemen for the LFL, that meant that not only was she strong but also beautiful... just like Tom's fully built 2002 C5 Corvette Z06.
