BAMBERG, ONTARIO (May 6, 2011) – After a couple of years away from the track, making a family, Jeff Moser is ready to return to the action.

"We've got a great team, an amazing car and the experience of past successes," Moser noted. "We look forward to a good season!"
Moser and his team will enter the 2011 Quick 32 Sportsman Series arena with a new 2011 Phantom Race Cars dragster, powered by a 632-cubic inch Scott Shafiroff Racing Engines power plant. A Speedtech Fogger nitrous system is employed which feeds the dual Holley carburetors, and an FTI Powerglide transmission sits behind the engine.

Sponsorship is provided by Bast Auto and Tire Center's and Stemmler Meats & Cheese. The team continues to welcome sponsors.Moser added he and the team is working hard to get the car ready for opening day, the Victoria Day Challenge May 20-22 at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park.
"We're thrashing real quick," he said. "We're hoping to get out and test next week."

"I think it's a great series. I'm really excited. This series has been a long time coming. We needed a series like this for Canadians."
