The holidays are over now, and winter is upon us as we head into 2017.  Winter in Northern Michigan often looks like a scene from a Hallmark movie... filled with warm, inviting little towns and snow-covered rural landscapes.  Everyone silently counts down the days until summer returns.  The sports cars, muscle cars, and hot rods that cruise the streets on hot summer nights can be found in heated garages "sleeping" under car covers or receiving new upgrades.  The only noise that can be heard is from the stereo speakers out in workshops, and the occasional "brrraaap" from snowmobiles passing by.  That is, until Tyler Sorget decided to get his 1969 Mach 1 Mustang out of storage for a special Christmas/Winter themed photoshoot with Nicole!

It was a cool October evening when we met up with Gina Frosolone and Chicago Photographer, Antonio Lopez.  We grabbed our Adam's Polishes, brought out the ShockerRacing.com C7Z06 and found a spot in Elgin, IL behind a Home Depot that had the industrial look on one side and some beautiful fall colors on the trees.  Our model, Gina, is no stranger to promotional modeling.  She began at the age of 18 as a Ring Girl at MMA tournaments and has since done local calendars and Lover's Lane Fashion Shows and more.  "My favorite was when I worked for Twin Peaks.  I had my own commercial playing in restaurants across the United States," Gina tells ShockerRacing, "they sent me down to Dallas to shoot it."

It features a 2.3L Whipple supercharger, FTBR KIT, and True Forged Mach5 wheels. Bianca shows us she really enjoys posing with these beasts in this shoot. “When I get in front of the camera and have my music playing. It is like it's just me and the car there. I go into full model mode.” says Bianca. Ms. Thomas was born and raised in Trinity North Carolina and they decided to shoot locally for this feature.

It's hard to believe that it has been two and a half years since we last did a photoshoot with Chloe Harris.  You may remember her last feature: 3 Boosted Z06's Equals 2000 Plus Horsepower. In the time between, we have discussed shooting with Chloe on multiple occasions and were even lucky enough to have her join us at one of the No Fly Zone Midwest Half Mile Events.  Yet, we just never seemed to put all of the pieces together until this Fall.  As things started coming together, we knew the perfect car for Chloe to work with... David Robinson's Small Block Chevy swapped 1976 Datsun 280z!

ShockerRacing Member, TJHulkSS, has recently installed a set of Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs on his 2015 Chevy SS that he procured from our friends over at Belfast Performance. Along with the springs the car was already fitted with a set of TSW Bathurst wheels in gloss gunmetal.  The front wheels are 8.5x19" with a +35 spacing and the rears are a 9.5x19" with a +39 offset.  He is running on Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires in 245/40/19's up front and 275/35/19's out back.  He recently noticed that there were some marks on the rear tires that appear to be rub marks.  To try to determine what is causing the rubbing he set up his GoPro and headed out for a ride.  Hit the link below to see the results video:
