A Jewel Of A Corvette

Wallpaper Description:

The husband and wife team of Jerry and Shirley Jewell have certainly stood the test of time racing their always-impressive 1967 Corvette. Incredibly, the Ulysses, Pennsylvania-based machine has been in the Super Stock class mix for many seasons, and its winning record in both NHRA and IHRA is rather remarkable. Since his initial win at the 2002 IHRA nationals held at Empire Dragway in western New York, Jerry’s collection of trophies has increased exponentially. That now includes some seven NHRA national open titles, 17 NHRA Division One class wins, as well as some national record-setting performances. The car is usually run in SS/DA class trim and presently races with a 427ci engine, which is refactored to 419 hp. Jerry and Shirley fund their meticulous Corvette’s racing program independently from their self-run Jewell Computing Services company.
