OILDOWN PENALTY POLICY ANNOUNCED FOR AUTO CLUB NHRA FINALS

GLENDORA, Calif. -- (Nov. 4, 2010) – NHRA announced today that it will immediately implement an oildown penalty policy for the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series. The penalties will be in effect for the final race of the 2010 season, the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals, Nov. 11-14, at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.

In Pomona, teams depositing oil on the race track surface during any qualifying or elimination rounds will result in loss of the elapsed time and miles per hour for that run. In qualifying, the time will be voided for all purposes (qualifying position, performance points, national records, low et/top speed). On Sunday, the time will be voided for the purpose of lane choice, run sequence choice, national records and low et/top speed. However, should the violating team win the round, it will advance in the bracket, be deemed the round winner, and maintain the points earned.

In addition, each oildown will result in a monetary fine. The first violation will be assessed $2,500, and the second violation will be assessed an additional $5,000 fine.

During the last several races, there have been an unacceptable number of delays due to oil on the race track having a significant impact on the quality of the show for the fans.

“Given the strict curfews that must be adhered to in Pomona, and the fact that championships need to be decided, it would be impossible to finish the event in a timely fashion if the delays due to oil were to continue at the same rate they have the last several races,” said Graham Light, senior vice president, racing operations, NHRA. “We wanted to create a strong policy that would ensure the teams make every effort to contain oil, while not significantly impacting the outcome of the championships.”

The policy announced today only pertains to the final race of the season, but NHRA intends to gather input from the racing community and develop a comprehensive policy for the 2011 season.

An oildown violation is defined as any incident requiring the use of mechanical equipment to cleanup an oil spill. The policy encompasses the entire length of the track surface, from burnout box to where the vehicle exits the track. As in the past, revenue collected will be used to improve cleanup time and efficiency.

THIS WEEKEND - 15th Annual World Cup Finals Import vs. Domestic Nov 6-7 at MIR








Reigning Nitro Jam Top Fuel Champions Turn Heads In Vegas


Reigning Nitro Jam Top Fuel champions turn heads in Vegas with runner-up finish


LAS VEGAS, Nev. (November 1, 2010) – Just three weeks ago the Lagana family was celebrating in victory lane at Virginia Motorsports Park after older brother Bobby Lagana Jr. wrapped up his first career Nitro Jam Top Fuel championship after a dozen years of nitro racing.


Now it is younger brother Dom’s turn to step into the spotlight as the 25-year-old New York native took on and defeated many of the best Top Fuel racers in the world and ended the day with a runner-up finish at the recently completed Las Vegas Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.


“The whole weekend was a blur. To be in a final when you really aren’t supposed to be, that is just an incredible feeling,” Lagana said. “When we won the first round we were thrilled with our weekend and were ready to call it a success. Then we won another round and the mood started to change, people started thinking ‘what if’ and then when we beat Antron (Brown) to move into the finals it kicked in that we really might pull this off.”


Dom, behind the wheel of the Big O Tires Top Fuel Dragster, qualified 11th of the 26 Top Fuel machines trying to make the field and from that spot went three rounds on his way to a runner-up finish to Tony Schumacher in only his fifth career NHRA start.


“Just to qualify was awesome, but to keep winning rounds, it is hard to explain what that means for a team like ours,” Lagana said. “Usually we don’t make it past the first or second round and from there we walk around the pits and watch all the other teams service their cars. On Sunday we were that team servicing the car while everyone else watched. All afternoon you kept hearing cars warming up between rounds and by the end it was just us and Schumacher. We serviced our car, heard Schumacher warm up, and then it was our turn. It was eerie to be one of the last cars left standing.”


Dom, driving the same dragster older brother Bobby Lagana Jr. recently drove to a series best eight Nitro Jam victories on his way to the 2010 Top Fuel championship, defeated Clay Millican, Larry Dixon and Antron Brown before losing to six-time defending champion Schumacher in the finals.


“We were pretty excited to run against Clay first round because of the history between us racing all those years with the IHRA. We set the car up for a nice, clean run and when we got by him it was just awesome. Our day was made,” Lagana said. “Then we went against Dixon who is leading the points so we just went out there to put on a show and make another solid, clean run and when I left the line I didn’t see him the whole way.


“When I got to the finish I looked over and I saw a little of his car and I thought that this had to be a close race. I thought I heard Bobby yelling, but I wasn’t sure. When I got to the top end and they told us we won my legs started shaking and I had a hard time standing when I got out of the car.


“When we got around him I thought ‘enough is enough, we have had our share of luck for the day.’ When we finally lined up alongside Antron we had some confidence and to be honest I never saw him once. The cool thing about that win was coming back to the pits. As we drove down pit road all of the other racers were clapping for us and cheering us on. That really meant a lot to us.”


In the final round Schumacher ran a 3.845, 316.60 to Lagana’s 3.987, 274.39 at the NHRA-shortened 1,000 foot mark. While Lagana wasn’t able to cap off his stellar weekend with a win, he was more than pleased just to have the chance to run Schumacher in the final and give his team a big boost during their long trip west.


“It didn’t really hit me how big this was until I pulled into the staging lanes. When I rounded the bend and saw two funny cars and Schumacher as the only cars I started freaking out. I thought I was going to be sick,” Lagana said. “I thought about how big this was for our team and what all I needed to do on the track. I didn’t want to red light or do something stupid, but after a while I began to calm down and I just focused on making the run.


“It was an incredible weekend as a whole and I just have to thank everyone on the team on an outstanding job. Everybody did great and there were no mistakes all day long. It was surreal.”


From Nitro Jam champions to NHRA finalists, it is safe to say that in the world of Top Fuel drag racing there is no team hotter than the Lagana family’s “Twilight Zone” race team.

Lagana Featured In Special Episode Of Nitro Jam On SPEED This Saturday


Watch reigning Top Fuel champion Bobby Lagana Jr. on a special episode of SPEED this Saturday, October 6


Go behind the scenes with the “Twilight Zone” race team at the North American Nitro Jam in New Hampshire


NORWALK, Ohio (November 1, 2010) – From the pits to the main stage, the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into putting together a championship season is substantial.


And in no sport is that more true than in drag racing.


In a sport where winning and losing is measured in milliseconds and the difference at the line is less than an inch at speeds well over 320 miles per hour, drag racing takes a fearless attitude and a skilled crew to take the world’s fastest machines and make them perform at the highest level.


Now you can get a firsthand look at what it takes to make a 300 mph Top Fuel dragster compete on the sport’s biggest stage with a behind the scenes look at the world of Nitro Jam hosted by 2010 Nitro Jam Top Fuel champion Bobby Lagana Jr. this Saturday, October 6 at 5:30 p.m.


“It was awesome to have the SPEED crew follow us around for the weekend and show the hard work and sacrifice, along with all the fun that goes into pursing this sport” Lagana said. “From local media and sponsorship appearances, to setting up the pits, getting the car ready for the race and following along on a four second pass, this will be one show you simply can’t miss. We had a lot of fun filming it and I had even more fun being on set last week to do some voiceover work. I can’t wait.”


Watch as Lagana and his crew navigate a cool and damp weekend in Epping, N.H. at the famed New England Dragway and deal with the hardships of a less than stellar weekend. Easily the most popular race team in Nitro Jam racing, join Bobby, his brother Dom and the rest of the “Twilight Zone” team in a rare look into the world of Top Fuel racing.


And before that, beginning at 5 p.m., catch a recap of the final race of the 2010 season and see Lagana capture the ’10 Nitro Jam championship with a huge victory at the World Finals Nitro Jam at Virginia Motorsports Park. Also watch as Steve Nichols (Prostalgia Nitro Funny Car) and Bill Evans (Pro Fuel) wrap up championships in their respective classes in addition to a full weekend of sportsman racing from Richmond, Va.


From setting up the pits, to race prep and all the technical information about the car, plus round by round action and much more, don’t miss an exciting hour of Nitro Jam on SPEED this Saturday beginning at 5 p.m.
