First Quick 32 Sportsman Series race at TMP's Cayuga May 18-20
BAMBERG, ONTARIO (May 11, 2012) – The MoBoyz Racing Top Dragster has already had some shakedown runs for 2012. Team driver Jeff Moser is very pleased with the car, which will be ready for the opening round of this year's Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts.
We are excited, said Moser, who placed third in the 2011 Quick 32 Sportsman Series Championship Point Award Series Standings. We have been testing and we are happy, things are working well.
Moser added there have been no major changes to the dragster for the upcoming season, but the team has freshened up several parts of the car, including work by Hutch's Racing Transmissions. He added that the nitrous setup on the car has also been updated.
Everybody has stepped up their program this year, Moser said about the Quick 32 Sportsman Series competitors. And with the freshened-up tranny and a new nitrous set up, we are confident in our program.
Moser qualified the car in the top six for some of the races last season, which was highlighted in a Top Dragster win at Grand Bend, and an event win over former champ and Top Sportsman driver Kevin Wicke of Stratford Ontario, also at Grand Bend.
(In Quick 32 Sportsman Series racing, the Top Dragster cars compete amongst each other, as do the Top Sportsman cars, and an overall event winner is declared between the Top Dragster and Top Sportsman finalists).
Preseason, Moser has recorded a team best which if sustained is sure to keep the team very competitive. Owned by Wayne and Dianne Moser, the dragster is a 2011 Phantom Race Cars product powered by a 632-cubic inch Scott Shafiroff engine utilizing a Holley carburetor and Speedtech Fogger nitrous system. An FTI two-speed Powerglide-based transmission sits behind the engine.
Moser, who has drag raced for about 15 seasons, got his start in the sport with a snowmobile, then ran a Dakota pickup in Modified Street, and has been behind the wheel of a dragster since 2003. Crew chief is Wayne "Jake" Moore, and the rest of the team, aside from Wayne and Dianne Moser, include Amy Moore, Melanie, Jackson and Hunter Moser. The team is pleased to announce that James Detzler and Renee Langer have joined the crew to cover "social media" for the team including moboyzracing.com, "Mo BoyzRacing" on Facebook, You Tube and Twitter.
Moser mentioned the team recently received sponsorship from the Kitchener-based 570News radio and will air spots on Race Line Radio. Other sponsorship comes from Bast Auto and Tire Centers, Stemmler Meats & Cheese, Elmira Auto Supply and C&A Krueger Machine Shop.
I want to thank all our sponsors, because we could not do this without them, he said. I also want to thank Hutch's
Transmission, Dragstar and Fast Eddie Racewear.
He also said he and his team are prepared for the upcoming season, the fourth in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series.
Are we ready? Absolutely. We are looking forward to a great year!
