56: Tom & Debbie Farrington

About this episode

Tom and Debbie Farrington discuss their decade-long journey racing Chevelle cars across the country and the transformations they've made to their vehicles.

Tom and Debbie Farrington have traveled the country racing their Chevelle’s for over a decade in various series such as Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car, Good Guys Autocross, and UMI events. Tom’s 66 Chevelle started out as the typical pro touring appearance without the performance to back it up. It’s had a tremendous transformation over the years and now features a complete Ride Tech chassis, big LS HP, Bowler T-56 transmission and Forgeline wheels. While Debbie’s wagon runs a full compliment of UMI suspension components, LS power, and T56 transmission.
