NTI Racing Action Photos

NTI Racing Action Photos

This page is your portal/index to most of NTI-Racing's action photos (primarily from the 2005 season, when NTI Racing was formed, forward). We have also included some pre-NTI links and photos as well. Check back each month for more shots of Chuck and Ramona in action.

The first few photos are some favorites from previous "Slowrider Racing" times, beginning with what the original stock Z28 looked like when Chuck bought it back in 1995...

This is a LARGE AVI movie clip you can download to watch Chuck being chased around out at Pacific Raceway (formerly Seattle Int Raceway) against some of the fastest ITE Porsche and BMW pilots in the area... Memorial Day 2002.

The following couple photos were shot at the first race we entered as NTI racing on April 16th, 2005. The first photo is the new Z28 with the 391 cubic inch LT4 engine and the yellow and red paint job Craig did on the car. It was parked in the tech line waiting to be inspected before going on track for a rainy day practice session. Chuck Jessup and Craig Johnson were trying to stay dry next to the car (Chuck on the left, Craig on he right). The second shot is Ramona who looks even better than the car!

The following shots were taken a couple weeks later when it was a little bit better weather... May 13, 2005. Dennis Smock took the photos for us.

We raced in Group H, OR SCCA Races, PIR, May 2005, when we manage a second place finish.

Here was one good shot from the Group H Rose Cup Races, PIR, June 2005, weekend...

In the Group H, OR SCCA Races, PIR, July 2005, we nabbed a first place finish also.

We repeated a first place finish at the next race in September 2005 also.

But, the next race in October 2005 was another nose bleeder.

Our ex-sponsor supplied us with a bunch of good photos taken at the July 3rd, 2005 race where, as I mentioned above, we won the race (1st over all and fastest lap of the race too) and finally moved into the points lead in the Oregon Region SCCA ITE class championships...

The following shots were taken at our "Days of Thunder" BBQ and race... September 25th, 2005. Dennis Smock took the photos for us once again.

This is a team photo taken while we were at the 2006 Rose Cups races on June 11th (Chuck, Marlene, Pat, Jameson and Ramona - Cap took the photo).

The following shots were taken at our Laguna Seca races Sep 30 and Oct 01, 2006. First a couple shots from race #1 and then several from race #2. Both were close races with Randy Mackintosh in his white and green Camaro.

Here is what happened during the first couple corners of the actual June 3rd, 2007 Rose Cup race. The radiator was punctured so, needless to say, we had to pack it in without even completing lap 1. Oh well.

And here are a few photos of the minor damage we had to correct in order to start racing again...

Fractured nose we removed and replaced - photo 1.
Bent rock grill and busted bracket we removed and replaced - photo 2.
Munched power steering cooler and radiator we removed and replaced - photo 3.

Oh, and we finally got a photo of Chuck's other race car too (he likes running this one at 130mph up and down I-5 between Vancouver, WA and White Rock, B.C. sometimes). 2006 CTS-V. 2006 CTS-V
