The Quick 32 Sportsman Series top five for 2010 Scott Wildgust - Second Place


WARTBURG, ONTARIO (October 30, 2010) – Although he has driven several classes of drag cars, Scott Wildgust made the transition from door car to a dragster in fine fashion this season, placing second in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts with 1176 points, only two points out of first place.
"We had a great year," said Wildgust, driver of the White and Wild Racing Top Dragster entry of himself and co-owner Bill White. "We had a great crew for the season, and Bill is a great partner."
The former PMRA Pro Modified driver campaigned a 1957 Chevy in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series in 2009, but Wildgust and White put together a Top Dragster that was a strong and consistent contender.
The White and Wild Racing Team qualified for all six events in the series, with a first round, second round, and three semi-final showings, but the season highlight was a win which came at the Grand Bend Motorplex in race two. This victory saw Wildgust win not only the Top Dragster class, but take the overall win against the winner of the Top Sportsman class in an event championship.
In the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, 16 Top Dragster cars race against each other, and 16 Top Sportsman or door-cars race against each other, with the top eliminator in each class going at it in the event final.
The White and Wild Racing car is a 2010 Mike Bos chassis powered by a 400-cubic inch small-block Chevy engine, with a Powerglide transmission hooked up to it. The fuel system is courtesy of ERD (Engine Research & Development), and a Kobelco supercharger sits atop the engine.
Wildgust said there are no major updates planned for the car for 2011, but added he believes the competition will be stronger in the Series.
"We want to thank my crew chief, John Weima, as well as Joe McCann, along with my Avery, Sienna and Stacey Wildgust," mentioned Wildgust, who hails from Southwestern Ontario and has been racing for close to 20 years. "We also want to thank Kirk and Maria Silbermann from Ajax Engines who helped us out with our engine program."
Wildgust also wanted to thank his team's sponsors, Stratford Automation, Bosco Pool and Spa, Ajax Engines and NGK Spark Plugs for their support during 2010.
The PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series Championship Point Award Series winners will be honored at the "Night of Champions" on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at The Best Western Cairn Croft Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Lex Dudas elected president of new five-member SCSW Executive Committee

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Oct. 28) -- The Super Chevy Show, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this past season, enjoyed tremendous growth under new ownership group of SCSW, LLC. in 2010 and more of the same is expected in 2011. That will not only be with the national touring series' schedule, which increases from 10 races to 12, including stops at four new tracks, but also with the SCSW Executive Committee, which grows from three members in 2010 to five in 2011.

The new, bigger board will be led by Lex Dudas, vice president and general manager of Maple Grove Raceway near Reading, Pa. Dudas was elected SCSW Executive Committee president this week, along with fellow board members John Bandimere Jr., owner of Bandimere Speedway near Denver, Colo and SCSW president in 2010, vice presidents Charles Allen, owner of Firebird International Raceway near Phoenix, and Seth Angel, general manager at Royal Purple Raceway at Houston, and secretary/treasurer Billy Meyer, owner of Texas Motorplex near Dallas. The SCSW Executive Committee, which was voted on by all 12 Super Chevy Show track owners and operators, will begin their new positions beginning, Monday, Nov. 1. 

The Super Chevy Show 2011 season, which adds stops in Jupiter, Fla, Rockingham, N.C., Spokane, Wash. and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, begins April 8-10 at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Fla. "I'm humbled that the ownership group has appointed me president and I will do my best for the entire ownership group and for the overall success of all Super Chevy Shows on the 2011 schedule," Dudas said. "The addition of two more board members is a positive move and one I totally support. Having Charlie Allen and Seth Angel join the board gives us more input from two very successful track owners."

Allowing outgoing president Bandimere to remain on the board is also expected to be a very positive impact. Bandimere is one of the most-experienced track owners in motorsports, and will provide tremendous input, both as a past president and track operator.

"When our group purchased the Super Chevy Show last November we all knew that it would be a miracle to pull all the pieces together and make 10 events work," Bandimere said. "I'm not sure how I ended up president for the first year, but I enjoyed the involvement as well as the continuity we have developed. It's one of the highlights of my 50-year history in the drag racing business.

"The constant communication with track operators that I knew by name and maybe saw once a year, have become friends and partners in this experience and the best is yet to come. Lex Dudas has proved to be invaluable to our group and is the right choice for president at this time. Having Charlie Allen and Seth Angel come on the executive committee as (vice presidents) will make it much easier to have votes that encompass the thinking of our entire group. Five minds will be helpful in making the important decisions that will face us and gives us more stability. Honestly, all of us are in a position to share and make decisions and I feel just as important to the team as a (vice president) as being president. I'm looking forward to a great year."

All agree that the expanding of the board will be a key factor as the Super Chevy Show continues to grow. Allen believes it just made sense, especially with the series broadening its base to 12 events and at four new tracks in 2011.

"I am very excited to be on the board," Allen said. "There are great things in store for the Super Chevy Show series in the years to come and I am happy to help in its direction.

"I believe that the board needed to be larger so that when a board member misses a meeting it is more than two making a decision. It is great that Seth is now on the board as well. He has great ideas."

Countdown to the 2010 PMRA Championship Derek Hawker - Second Place

CORBYVILLE, ONTARIO (October 29, 2010) – PMRA rookie Derek Hawker showed he was a force to reckon with in 2010, taking second place in the Pro Modified Racing Association Championship Point Award Series presented by Magnum Auto Parts and Patio Passport.
"We had a great year," noted Hawker, driver of the Hawker Racing 1963 Corvette. "In fact, we had a fantastic year. The car ran well, and we can't wait to get back at it again next year."
The former Top Sportsman driver stepped up into the quick Pro Modified in 2010, and made a fine showing in his first year of PMRA racing, qualifying for all events. His season was comprised of a quarter-final round showing, a pair of semi-finals, a runner-up placing, and a win, which he took during the Canadian Nitro Nationals at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park.
The Split-Window Corvette is powered by an Alan Johnson 526-cubic inch supercharged engine, tweaked and massaged by Atchison Racing Engines, which also supplied the fuel system. The engine, with a PSI Superchargers 14-71 blower, sits in the frame of a Vanishing Point Race Cars product, and a Lenco three-speed sits behind the engine.
Hawker, who hails from Corbyville, Ontario, has raced for about 14 years. He said few changes are planned for PMRA competition in 2011.
"We'll probably put more overdrive (supercharger) in it," he noted. "There's lots left, and the car rides like a Cadillac."
Scott Sager crew chiefs for the team and other members include Tim Whalen, along with family Corrie, McKenzie and Brittany Hawker. Sponsors include Hawker Construction, Pennzoil and Empey Tire.
"I want to thank my crew and my sponsors," said Hawker. "I wouldn't be doing this without them, they have been a great help to the team."
The PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series Championship Point Award Series winners will be honored at the "Night of Champions" on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at The Best Western Cairn Croft Hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Morrell Becomes First Female Champion In ADRL History With PXM Victory


O'FALLON, MO (October 27, 2010) – Kim Morrell wouldn't chalk it up to fate or destiny, but she knew her moment to shine was coming.

After months of tremendous improvement and coming oh-so-close to her first American Drag Racing League (ADRL) event win, the fastest female on two wheels enjoyed her moment on the ADRL's biggest stage.

On a thrilling and unforgettable day, Morrell shocked nearly everyone, beating Ashley Owens in the Pro Extreme Motorcycle finals of the Speedtech "Battle For The Belts" at the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals VI at Texas Motorplex, becoming the first female to win a "Battle For The Belts" world title in the ADRL.

"This was coming and now I'm a World Champion," Morrell said with a beaming smile. "I believe in that kind of stuff. I knew we had it in the bike and I knew I had it in me. I just did what I had to do."

Something certainly appeared to be on Morrell's side in Ennis, Texas, as she enjoyed a charmed ride for each of her three "Battle For the Belts" round victories, including the championship race against Owens, who entered the event with an unprecedented eight wins in 10 events in 2010.

But it was Morrell's day in every sense of the word.

She had a red-light win against Ronald Procopio in the first round and then gladly accepted a bye into the finals when both of her could-be semifinal competitors fouled in their first round race, eliminating both from the championship chase.

That put Morrell up against Owens, who had just made the quickest pass in PXM history at 4.021 seconds at more than 175 miles per hour.

But an oil drip caused Owens to break early in his run and while Morrell was having her own engine troubles, she coasted to the win in 4.49 seconds.

What immediately ensued after Morrell's win light came on was a whirlwind of emotions.

"I was just screaming when the light came on and I just put my head down," Morrell said. "I'm just so pumped. I can't believe this.

"I'll probably wake up tomorrow and just cry."

Morrell advanced to her first two ADRL event finals late in the year, but she lost both times to Owens, who was in the midst of becoming the first ADRL competitor to win five straight races.

But the Fort Lauderdale native continued to press forward, and her confidence and drive never wavered.

When she faced Owens one more time, she felt things would be different.

Morrell was spot on, handing Owens just his second loss in an otherwise dominating season.

"Everybody has their day and Ashley has had it all year," Morrell said. "I look up to him, but this is just unbelievable."

As much as Morrell looked up to Owens, she also wanted to beat him in the worst way.

That much was evident as her team worked tirelessly to improve leading up to the "Battle For The Belts" at Texas Motorplex.

She went 4.024 in qualifying earlier last Friday, just missing the world E.T. record and setting the tone for her magical day.

In fact, it's been an awe-inspiring year for Morrell, who has made dramatic strides as a rider.

She also found a team that believed in her and the combination has pushed Morrell to new heights.

Of course, it all culminated with a championship that puts her permanently in the record books.

"The list goes on and on of the people that have supported me this year," Morrell said. "It's just amazing to think about all the people that have helped and supported me this season. I can't say enough about my team and the people around me."
