Posted by: Jim Yates, Wiley X Eyewear Pontiac
It's arrived! Our new Wiley X Pontiac GXP is in the house and looking insane! Jamie and I picked up her up from Banshie Studios yesterday afternoon and everyone at the shop has been diligently working on getting it race ready from the minute it rolled in the door. I can honestly say I have never had a racecar designed or painted as awesome as this one and I can't wait to get it to The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a week of testing.
While Jamie, Terry, Toni, and I have been busy with the assembly of the new GXP, John and Chris from Fineline have almost finished wrapping the rig with our newly designed Wiley X graphics. It looks as awesome as the racecar. Toni tried to get a picture of the rig as I was pulling it out to move it over in the shop, but it was raining and I didn't want to get my beautiful new rig wet so I didn't give her much of a chance to take a picture. Anyway, I have included a sneak peek of it and will include a better picture when it is completed.
Well, I'm heading back out to the shop to help Jamie. My plan is to leave here on Saturday in my bright, shiny, new Wiley X rig and make my way to Vegas. We will do a photo shoot next Wednesday and then start testing next Thursday. By the way, be sure to check out the latest GM Press Release on www.nhra.com or www.jimyates.com and read all about the evolution of our new Pontiac GXP; it's pretty interesting stuff.
Gotta go! Jim
