National Guard ADRL Returning to Memphis

National Guard ADRL Returning to Memphis

O’FALLON, MO (May 6, 2009) – Following a two-year hiatus, the National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is returning to Memphis Motorsports Park May 22-23, with the Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II, which is shaping up to be another standing-room only event for the all-eighth-mile drag racing series.

During its first two national events this year, the National Guard ADRL set new attendance records at major racing facilities in Houston, TX, and Valdosta, GA, and series president and co-founder Kenny Nowling expects that trend to continue.

“I’ve missed going to Memphis Motorsports Park and meeting all the great drag racing fans there,” Nowling said. “Since we last visited, thanks to our sponsors the National Guard ADRL has been able to implement a permanent complimentary ticket policy, so more people than ever can bring all of their family and friends. I’m looking forward to welcoming a packed house both days to the Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II.”

Already a pass to witness thrilling on-track action, every National Guard ADRL race ticket also grants entry to the pits, where fans will be able to get up close and personal with the drivers, watch their teams in action between rounds and check out some of the finest motorsports machinery on the planet.

On Friday, National Guard ADRL teams will participate in open testing from noon to 5 p.m., with one round of qualifying scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. for all five professional classes: Pro Extreme Motorcycle, Extreme Pro Stock, Extreme 10.5, Pro Nitrous and Pro Extreme, the quickest and fastest eighth-mile drag racing class in the world.

Saturday’s on-track action will include two scheduled qualifying sessions, with eliminations for all professional classes beginning at 4 p.m. and each day concluding with a thrilling pass by a fire-breathing jet car. Each National Guard ADRL event also features an extensive race fan experience zone and manufacturer’s midway offering everything from souvenirs to hard-core performance parts for racing and automotive enthusiasts.

New teams, new cars for PMRA season opener at Cayuga Dragway

PMRA Pro Modifieds joined by Quick 32 Sportsman Series for Victoria Day Challenge

CAYUGA, ONTARIO ( May 5, 2009) – The Pro Modified Racing Association will begin its fifth season when it headlines the Victoria Day Weekend Challenge at Toronto Motorsports Park’s Cayuga Dragway May 16 and 17.

Several new Pro Modified teams will be ready to do battle on the Cayuga quarter-mile for the first of seven events on this season’s tour. This popular drag racing series features some of the best Pro Modified teams in Ontario, New York, and Michigan, and provide lots of excitement with wild body styles and close to 3000-horsepower engines propelling the cars down the drag strip at speeds up to 240 mph.

And the PMRA will be joined by the new Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts, which will pit a doorslammer car against a dragster in the championship round. This is the inaugural event for this new series.

“We’re looking forward to the PMRA opener, and running with the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, the TNT Hot Rod Super Series, as well as a round in the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series,” commented PMRA Director of Operations Bruce Mehlenbacher. “This should be a great weekend of racing. Between the four groups we will represent over 100 teams to kick-off the 2009 season at Cayuga.”

He added that a number of PMRA competitors will be debuting new cars at Cayuga. “Several of the PMRA teams have new cars that they have built over the winter, and they’re just itching to get them on the track.”

The track will also host the TNT Hot Rod Super Series, as well as a round in the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series.

Last year’s PMRA champion, Bruce Boland, of Hamilton, Ontario, will be returning to defend his title, but in a new car, a 1967 Chevy Nova Pro Modified. Winner of the Grand Bend Labor Day event, Ralph Andreacchi of Maple, Ontario, also has a new car, a 1963 Corvette, for the season opener.

Several new teams will be competing for 2009, including Dave Kulik and Billy Leverentz of Elma, New York, Pete Farber of Otter River, Mass, with his 1969 Dodge Charger, both G-Force Race Cars built entries, and Luis Custodio of Ajax, Ontario, with this nitrous-powered 1969 Camaro.

Returning PMRA teams include Sam Andreacchi from Toronto, Joe Boniferro from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Joe Caruso and Mike Cusimano's "Midlife Crisis" from Rochester, New York, the Grainy Brothers from North Tonawanda, New York, Gary Irving driving Al Hind’s entry from Waterloo, Ontario, Jason Kalso from Clarkston, Michigan, Eric Latino from Scarborough, Ontario, Ike Maier from Schomberg, Ontario, Mark Nielsen from Brantford, Ontario, and Jeff Roth from Kitchener, Ontario.

Qualifying for the two-day event gets underway for the Pro Modified Racing Association Saturday, May 16, at 2:00 pm, with other sessions at 4:30 and 7:00 p.m. Elimination rounds start Sunday May 17 at 1:00 p.m.

The PMRA, www.PMRA.ca, will compete at several drag strips in 2009, including dates at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, starting with the season opener on May 16 and 17, June 13 and 14 and the season-closer on September 19 and 20, at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, Ontario on July 11 and 12, and the South-western Ontario track of the Grand Bend Motorplex at the 10th Annual MOPAR Canadian Nationals July 17 to 19, the Ideal Supply & NAPA Auto Parts presents Hot August Nationals August 8 and 9 and on September 5 and 6.

Several of the PMRA events will be run in conjunction with the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts, www.Quick32.ca, offering fans a great show of drag racing.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):

The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.PMRA.ca, was organized late in 2004, started racing operations in 2005, and is entering its fifth year of operation in 2009.

Karcher Nitro Champs, Presented By Shannons - Delivered By The Racers!

Karcher Nitro Champs, Presented By Shannons - Delivered By The Racers! Monday, 4 May 2009 - Posted by Dean Neal (Sydney, NSW) The 2009 Karcher Nitro Champs, presented by Shannons, produced the usual rollercoaster ride of exciting action that only ANDRA Championship Drag Racing action can provide at Western Sydney Dragway. ANDRA National Records took a pounding in several eliminators and in the Professional categories as well, as the cool May air and a very good racing surface produced some excellent racing action. There were some wild moments too throughout the event, highlighted by Jay Upton’s scary 350km/h high speed exit off his Honda machine, that made news headlines from Friday Qualifying. The headlines around the nation continued on Saturday, when 21-year old Amanda Shepherd’s Top Fuel Dragster turned into the Skips Fire Service Fireball after trying to pedal the car into the 8-car field, but obviously fell short as her 8,000 horsepower Nitro Engine completely exploded in the car. FULL RESULTS AVAILABLE UNDER RESULTS SECTION OF THE WSID WEBSITE. ANDRA PRO CATEGORY RESULTS TOP FUEL Reigning ANDRA Top Fuel Champion Phil Read paced the field in Qualifying, posting a 4.565 ET, that fell just 2 thousandths short of his own National Record. Read hoped to narrow the gap on Phil Lamattina in the Championship chase and the door was opened when the Fuchs entry was eliminated in the first round. Read however also was sent packing by Mark Mariani, after his Auto One entry could not go to full Fuel pumps in his matchup and hence, leaned his engine out. TOP DOORSLAMMER West Aussie John Zappia continued his stunning winning streak and run of 5-seconders intact, producing a 5.828 National Record to win the final, against Ben Bray in the process. TOP ALCOHOL Gary Phillips kept his ANDRA Championship hopes alive in his Lucas Oil products Funny Car by claiming the win over fellow contender Steven Reed in the final. Phillips and Debbie Reed also delivered the quickest side-by-side Top Alcohol pass in history during qualifying session 1. TOP BIKE The flying Kiwi Athol Williams locked away the ANDRA Top Bike Championship and did it with an exclamation point by setting a new Elapsed Time (6.169) and Speed record (238.51mph) in the category in this country. In fact, Williams’ speed mark makes him the 4th fastest Motorcycle Drag Racer in world history. PRO STOCK Many observers believe this category delivered the best racing of the 2009 Nitro Champs. After qualifying, we saw the quickest and tightest-spread qualifying field in ANDRA History, with just 0.059 spreading the 8-car field! Just to round out the highlights, John Barbagallo set a new National record ET – with a brilliant 7.042 effort. PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE. South Aussie Phil Howard set a personal best run of 7.360 to win an ANDRA Gold Tree Trophy, riding a motorcycle that had been stolen – and then found just weeks earlier.

ADRL Hardee's Georgia Drags V on Versus this Sunday

ADRL Hardee’s Georgia Drags V on Versus this Sunday

O’FALLON, MO (May 1, 2009)—The National Guard American Drag Racing League (ADRL) returns to nationwide broadcast this weekend, with the airing of its Hardee’s Georgia Drags V at 3 p.m. Eastern this Sunday, May 3, on the Versus action sports television network.

The second of 11 National Guard ADRL broadcasts this year, this show will differ significantly in appearance and content from the first episode shown after the National Guard ADRL season opener in March.

“In a typical show, once you come out with the first one you don’t want to change things too much because you’ve pretty much set the precedent,” executive producer Steve Grein explained. “Well, there’s nothing typical about ADRL and they looked at the first show and decided, well this worked and this didn’t, so the second show is drastically—I mean, unbelievably—different from the first show.”

Noted drag racing historian Bret Kepner continues to handle all the top-end interviewing and pit reporting, while veteran announcers Al Tucci and Brian Olson provide the play-by-play with new in-studio host Ted Brunson anchoring the broadcast.

“Bret has one of the best minds and greatest understandings of the sport and he has a great way of drawing in fans at all levels. We asked him to do the types of stories and features he’s always wanted to do, but never had the chance and he is having a ball with it,” National Guard ADRL Executive Vice President Jeff Fortune said. “And Brian and Al have such a love for the sport and are so entertaining at the events that it comes across in every call they make.”

In addition to thrilling round-by-round coverage of the National Guard ADRL’s all-professional-classes event from South Georgia Motorsports Park, the TV show will introduce several new segments, including “Torn From the Pages,” which highlights an article from an upcoming “Adrenaline” magazine, the official publication of the National Guard ADRL. Similarly, the “Adrenaline” article will appear under a “Torn From the Tube” headline.

All National Guard ADRL broadcasts are presented in high definition with Dolby sound on the powerful Versus action sports network two or three weeks after each national event, but always on a Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern. Additional airdates are June 7 and 21; August 2, 16 and 23; September 6 and 27; and November 8 and 22, with all dates and times subject to change.

The National Guard ADRL returns to action May 22-23, with the Quarter-Max Memphis Drags II, at Memphis Motorsports Park in Millington, Tennessee.

DEAN MOON AND DRAGMASTER

Dean Moon was the consummate “Hot Rodder” He built and raced cars from the Dry Lake’s to the Drag Strip and at the same time built a company that became an icon in the world of Hot Rodding.Starting the business from meager beginnings he grew it into a world wide name and made the “Mooneyes” logo a part of the history in the sport. Many of the products are still used today and several are very sought after by the people restoring and recreating the cars from yesterday. Though Dean left us on Jun 4,1987 he left behind a legacy that will live on as long as there are Hot Rodders. Not only did he entertain and educate us but he also motivated and challenged us to go faster and succeed.
