He purchased a Jerry Bickel Race Cars ProMod chassis with a carbon fiber C7 Corvette body and built a billet Duramax 408 cu.in. twin-turbocharged and nitrous oxide ingesting diesel burning engine to propel the car down the track. While some doubted that his NGM Diesel Race Engines Duramax engine could deliver the power needed to make a heavier ProMod car competitive against the other ProMod racers. But never one to stand down from a challenge Moody and his team went to work spinning wrenches, fabricating parts, building, assembling and wiring the C7 in hopes of taking the 2019 ODSS season by storm.
CHASSIS
During the off season Moody and his team went to work on the ProMod project starting with the fresh Jerry Bickel Race Cars chassis getting it ready to accept a Duramax diesel and ready to race. Lamb Components double adjustable coilover struts were hung from the front of the chassis mated to the Bickel chromoly strut mounts and control arms. Steering is actuated through a lightweight rack and pinion steering rack while braking is handled by Lamb twopiece carbon rotors clamped by 1-piston Lamb calipers. The master cylinder is mounted low on the driver’s side forward of the firewall along with a Hurst Roll Control line lock solenoid to help in staging.
