Mark Nielsen ready to do battle in 2011 PMRA Pro Modified season

Major changes on Camaro should lead to success after learning cycle in 2010

BRANTFORD, ONTARIO (December 23, 2010) – After some major changes to the Nielsen Motorsports Chevrolet Yenko Camaro SS Pro Mod in 2010, car driver and owner Mark Nielsen said the team should be ready with a vengeance when the Pro Modified Racing Association begins the 2011 season.

Earlier this season, the team installed a screw blower on the ERD (Engine Research & Development) 526-cubic inch Brad Anderson (BAE) Supercharged Hemi engine of the G-Force Race Cars Camaro, and changed the traditional three-speed Lenco gearbox with a Bruno/Lenco torque convertor automatic set-up, a new combination for the team to learn.

"We struggled with the combo," said Nielsen, who placed ninth in the 2010 Pro Modified Racing Association Championship Point Award Series presented by Magnum Auto Parts and Patio Passport. "But later in the season we got back down to the ETs we're accustomed to."

Nielsen, who won the May 2006 PMRA event at the Cayuga Dragstrip of Toronto Motorsports Park, and placed second in the 2009 season, believes the learning curve with the new features on the car is complete, and is looking for positive results in 2011.

"Nothing is really new on the car from this season," he said. "We're working on refining the present combination, and hopefully dip into the fives.

"We're going to work on tweaking the combination," he continued. "Carl (Spiering, of ERD) will be helping us to get more consistency."

Nielsen has been a PMRA competitor since its inception in 2004, and will continue to race with the support of crew members Randy Gronlund, Richard Ruysseveldt, Dave Ross, Natalia Kalivodova and Rachel Ross.

Taylor Ends Memorable December With Round Three Win In Qatar

DOHA, QATAR (December 20, 2010) – Earlier this year, Frankie "Mad Man" Taylor could not have envisioned traveling abroad to race in the Middle East, but after setting the world record and winning the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) title this year in Pro Extreme, it was an easy decision for Frankie to keep his momentum moving forward by racing through the winter.


It's already been a memorable time through three of the eight races in the Arabian Drag Racing League at Qatar Racing Club (QRC) in Qatar.


After setting two tracks records and advancing to one final, Taylor wrapped up his December with a win, going 3.63 at 210.41 miles per hour to beat Joshua Hernandez in the finals of Round Three. Taylor's celebration was well-earned after beating a loaded field that included Mike Stawicki in the first round (3.67 at 193 mph) and J.R. Todd in the semifinals (3.64, 209 mph).


"Each ladder we race is like racing in the 'Battle of the Belts' where everyone is so good. There is no easy win," Taylor said. "The drivers and teams running in Pro Extreme are unbelievably strong."


Taylor had to make adjustments after the first event when Taylor lost in the first round of eliminations.


After setting the two track records in the second event with a pass of 3.613 at 211.03 mph, Taylor was able to make up some of his lost points. That momentum ended in the finals of Round Two, as Taylor broke against Todd, who has quickly adjusted to a PX car and has become an impressive doorslammer driver in the process.


After beating longtime racing rival Hernandez in the final of Round Three, Taylor moved into second place in the PX points standings, just three points behind the Bahrain Racing standout.


Round Four of the eight-race Arabian Series resumes in January at QRC and Taylor appears ready for even more excitement.


He is also amazed at the outpouring of support from the staff and fans at QRC.


"Thank you to the Qatar Racing Club for putting on these great events, Sheikh KH (Al-Thani) for helping all of the teams and, of course, special thanks to the race fans in Qatar as you have been extremely gracious to all of us racers," Taylor said.

Car Show coordinator offers some advice for Super Chevy Show participants

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Dec. 22) -- By the calendar, the Super Chevy Show season opener is still four months away. But car show judging coordinator Andy Hendricks said this is time that can make the difference when the season kicks off in early April.


Hendricks recently offered several tips for competitors, who should pay special attention to the engine, body, paint and interior areas of their show cars.


"We look at body, paint, engine and interior," Hendricks said.


Here's a brief breakdown of each area that participants should concentrate on their off-season work:


ENGINE


Hendricks said the initial work should be in cleaning the front pulley area, The headers should be painted, sand blasted and jet coated. Next would be to detail the wiring before cleaning and painting the fender wells and firewall area.


Another important area of concern is a basic one - the condition of the engine, which should be checked for leaks. Finally, the underside of the hood should be painted, with the frame rails, cross-members and core supports cleaned and painted to give a new look.


BODY AND PAINT


The first order of business is to prepare the body, removing waves and dents that may have occurred during the winter. Next up is to check over the body. Do the panels line up? Also, check from the fenders to the hood. The molding, outside trim and the emblems need to be installed correctly. The paint should be applied very detailed and check the drip rail areas and make sure there are no dry areas or overspray. Then the final finish can be applied.


INTERIOR


The interior area is a key component to any show car, and the best entries have that new car look. The first order of business is to clean the carpet. Also, the interior should be free of cleaning materials and jackets. The trunk area is considered part of the interior, and that is an area that needs to be cleaned as well. Next, check the condition of seals and whiskers. Also, leave the door ajar or open.


CLEANING TIPS


Hendricks offered some cleaning tips and those include checking and cleaning some hidden areas in the engine compartment, door jams, and trunk lips. Also clear the wax out from and around trim pieces and emblems, as well as the wheels and tires, which need a thorough check and cleaning.

Dream Ride Continues For Hunnicutt With Second Straight Win In Qatar

DOHA, QATAR (December 20, 2010) – Like any competitor, Rob Hunnicutt has often wondered what it would feel like to be the frontrunner and the person everyone else was chasing.


Now that it's happening, the Pro Extreme Motorcycle rider admits it feels quite amazing.


After winning for the first time in his American Drag Racing League (ADRL) and Arabian Drag Racing League career last week, Hunnicutt followed it up with his second straight win, taking Round Three at Qatar Racing Club (QRC) on Friday.


"I've never won this many round in probably five years of doing this," Hunnicutt said. "This is like a dream come true.


"It makes me speechless when I look at these two trophies. I'm almost in awe. It makes all the hard work and time and money worth it."


Hunnicutt is riding high after another memorable race, giving him two wins and one runner-up finish through three of the eight races in the Arabian Series in Qatar.


Not even the optimistic Hunnicutt could have imagined this scenario.


Nearly everything has gone right for the talented rider, but Round Three marked his best all-around performance to date.


He was the No. 1 qualifier with a 4.17 and then went 4.18 in the first round to knock off Billy Vose, whom Hunnicutt beat in the finals of Round Two.


In the semifinals, he got his re-match with Terry Schweigert, who won in Round One. This time, Hunnicutt couldn't be tracked down, as he went 4.16 to meet T.T. Jones in the finals, where he added another 4.16 to finish as the wire-to-wire winner and maintain his points lead in PXM.


"I'm really, really excited right now. Christmas came (Friday)," Hunnicutt said.


Hunnicutt will get a memorable welcome when he returns home to his family, but he already happily recalled the conversation he had with them after his first win.


"I wish they could have been here to see it, but I hear them screaming on the phone after I told them I won, and it just feels really good," Hunnicutt said. "This is how you envision it going when you start racing."


Hunnicutt won last week on his back-up motor, but as a sign that every decision has been on point, their team went back to their first motor for Round Three.


It broke on the very first pass in Qatar several weeks ago, but it yielded much quicker times than the back-up motor.


It also did that without Hunnicutt and his team pressing the combination.


"We weren't really pushing things with the motor," Hunnicutt said. "We knew this motor was faster."


Hunnicutt has also stepped up his game. He's been fast at the light and put together some incredible incrementals through three races.


He only hopes this momentum carries over when he returns to QRC for Rounds Four and Five in January.


Round Four begins on January 6 in Qatar.


"I told my wife if I just made the finals and lost every race I would be happy," Hunnicutt said. "Now, it's almost like a dream I don't want to wake up from.


"I really hope I have a shot at the title."

Jenkins Will Take Good Fortune After Round Three Victory In Qatar

DOHA, QATAR (December 20, 2010) – After what happened during the first two rounds, Shannon Jenkins would have gladly taken any good fortunes in Round Three of the Arabian Drag Racing League at Qatar Racing Club (QRC).


Plenty came his way on Friday and Jenkins returned to a familiar perch – back on top in Pro Nitrous.


Jenkins got plenty of luck, but he did his part and took advantage, winning Round Three in Qatar, returning home after the three-race stretch in December with much some much-needed momentum.


"It's great to finally get our first win of the season here at QRC," Jenkins said. "My guys have done an outstanding job, and I'm very proud of them for their hard work and dedication to our team. I also can't thank Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani and the people of Qatar enough for allowing us to be a part of such a great team."


The American Drag Racing League (ADRL) PN standout had plenty of luck to get the win, but Jenkins likely felt like he was due for some.


In the opening round of eliminations, Jenkins defeated Khalid Mohammad from Bahrain Racing on a red light and he followed up with a semifinal win after Khalid Al-Balooshi was off his game.


That led to a rematch of the finals of the ADRL "Battle For The Belts," as Jenkins paired up with Al-Anabi Racing teammate and close friend Burton Auxier.


Both drivers had their hands full when they experienced problems with tire shake right off the line, but it was Jenkins crossing the stripe first, clinching his first win of the season in the Arabian Series.


Jenkins gladly took the win, but he is still disappointed with the car's performance and lack of consistency.


"We are still searching for that missing link that keeps upsetting this race car," Jenkins said. "During qualifying, we made some great runs in the 3.90 range, and felt pretty confident, so we didn't make any changes going into first round.


"Then, when the track began to cool off first round, we had our hands full, because this particular car refuses to go down this race track when it gets cool."


The problem continues to confound Jenkins and his talented team, which meant there were no typical "Iceman" performances during eliminations.


That meant only one thing.


"Luck, luck, luck. That's all I can say," Jenkins said. "The numbers were by far not what we were looking for, but we did get the win, and that's our main goal."


Jenkins and his crew will depart from Qatar on Monday to spend the holidays with their families.


Although frustration remains with the "Iceman" and his team due to the car's performance, a win, a runner-up and two No. 1 qualifying spots, will certainly make their break a little more enjoyable.


"We look forward to spending the holidays with our families, and this win will certainly make our break more enjoyable," Jenkins. Said. "However, we will be back at the shop, hard at work, trying to find new combinations to make this car happy.


"The last five races will be tough, no doubt, but we are going to do everything we can to find the right set up, so we can remain on top."


Round Four of the eight-race series begins with qualifying on January 6 at QRC in Qatar.

Magnificent Mark Sanders joins Prostalgia championship chase against the best in the business

Most exciting man in drag racing joins Nitro Jam tour


NORWALK, Ohio (December 21, 2010) – In the world of nostalgia drag racing, car nicknames are often times a common place among the competitors.


From “Jungle Jim” to “Bullet Bob” and everything in between, car names can be anything from a reflection of the cars capabilities on the track to a random and sometimes off the wall nickname that stuck. But for some, a car nickname can be a direct reflection of the man sitting behind the wheel.


And that is where “Mr. Explosive” Mark Sanders comes in.


A relatively new face to the drag racing scene, Sanders has made quite a name for himself over the past few years as one of the most exciting men in drag racing. Drawing dozens of comparisons to famous straight-line racers such as John Force, Sanders has already taken the nostalgia scene by storm.


And now, after two years earning his stripes, Sanders is ready to take his talents to the next level by joining the hottest new funny car show in drag racing with Nitro Jam’s Prostalgia Nitro Funny Car circuit in 2011.


“Nitro Jam races rock. I love the nitro warm-ups, the television interviews, seeing all the fans having a good time – it is all a lot of fun,” Sanders said. “We only like to go where the best in the business are going to be. It makes you work three times harder and there is only one thing better than putting the boys in the box one at a time, but we will come back to that at the end of 2011 when we are holding the big trophy.”


Beginning his racing career in Mud Drags and Blown Alcohol Sand Drags, Sanders has roared down the strip in dozens of different machines and on multiple drag racing surfaces. But over the latter part of the decade Sanders decided to move in a new direction with the help of his son Jake.


Looking for a project during his senior year of high school, Jake worked with his dad to create a Nitro Funny Car from scratch and amazingly, just two years later, Jake had his dad winning races and running for championships behind the wheel of the appropriately named “Mr. Explosive” machine.


“Our car we have now was approximately a two year project. Everyone around was telling me I should get into a Nitro Funny Car and about that time our then 18-year-old son asked for suggestions for a senior project. That got the whole thing started,” Sanders said. “Jake went on his entire senior year building this car and then helping me test it and now, in 2010, we posted four victories, a couple of runner-ups and dozens of five second runs. It was quite an experience.”


As a part of his standout season Sanders gave the Nitro Jam tour a test run in 2010 with a pair of races at Salt Lake City and Edmonton and immediately made his presence known by sweeping the new class at Rocky Mountain Raceways in Utah. Sanders defeated Tim Boychuk and local favorite Jack Harris in his impressive debut behind the wheel of the “Mr. Explosive” 1970 Chevy Nova.


In addition to collecting the wins, Sanders also debuted his over-the-top personality in the Salt Lake winner’s circle with one of the more memorable victory lane celebrations of the year and if all goes as planned in 2011, Sanders hopes to spend even more time hoisting Ironman trophies in the winner’s circle this season.


“The 2011 season will be our busiest one yet. We are looking forward to being a part of the Nitro Jam tour next season and visiting a lot of new places,” Sanders said. “We can’t wait to get the new year underway.”


Known for his endless energy and youthful enthusiasm, Sanders instantly earned his status as a fan-favorite last year and looks forward to growing the “Mr. Explosive” legend even more this season. But it certainly won’t be easy.


Sanders will be up against one of the toughest fields yet as defending Prostalgia NFC champion Steve Nichols returns to the show, along with championship runner-up and seven-time event winner Peter Gallen. Sanders will also square off with Mike McIntire, Greg Jacobsmeyer and Richard Hartman while a full contingent of west coast racers will join the tour at stops in Texas, Arizona, Utah and Alberta, Canada. There will also be a few surprise faces joining the tour throughout the season.


And it all gets underway January 28-29 at Palm Beach International Raceway’s Palm Beach Nitro Jam as Sanders kicks off his championship hunt on the beaches of south Florida.

LEONARD EDWARDS JOINS NHRA AS DIRECTOR OF SALES

Edwards will be based in NHRA’s Charlotte office

GLENDORA, Calif. (Dec. 21, 2010) —As part of NHRA’s initiative to continue to develop and expand its sales team, Leonard Edwards has been hired as director of sales. Edwards will report to Tony Driscoll, vice president of sales and business development. Both are based in NHRA’s Charlotte office.

Edwards has more than seven years of experience in a variety of sales positions within the sports field. Most recently, he worked at International Speedway Corp. (ISC) as manager of partnership sales. While there, Edwards was responsible for sales in all aspects of the business including media, race entitlements, experiential marketing displays and hospitality. Edwards has also worked in collegiate sports and at the team level in the NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball and the Arena Football League.

“Leonard is an excellent addition to our sales team here at NHRA,” said Driscoll. “He brings all the skills necessary to identify programs and opportunities designed to meet their business objectives. I am confident he will have an immediate impact on the sport.”

Edwards graduated with a Master of Business Administration from North Park University in Chicago, where he also received his Bachelor of Science. Edwards also attended Eastern Illinois University.

No changes expected in 2011 for Quick 32 Sportsman Series team of Steve Corriveau

First year successful with 1967 Chevy II Top Sportsman entry

FONTHILL, ONTARIO (December 21, 2010) – For Steve Corriveau, 2010 was the right time to start racing in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts.

"I've always loved fast doorslammers," said the driver of the 1967 Chevy II Top Sportsman entry. "I was trying to find the right time to get into this type of racing, but the Quick 32 Sportsman Series opened the door."

After racing for about 20 years, Corriveau toyed with a dragster to race in the series, but the opportunity came along to purchase the ex-Bruce Boland Pro Modified, and he set out to make the car a top runner in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series. Running a DSE1-built big-block Chevy engine, Corriveau won the Top Sportsman side during the series' opener at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park in May of 2010, and knew he had made the right decision.

"We weren't sure how this was all going to turn out, but it's been okay so far," he noted. "I knew the car I got from Boland had been a successful car, and I'm glad I stepped up to the class."

Corriveau has bolstered his effort with a 615-cubic inch, nitrous-fueled engine from the shops of DSE1, and a two-speed Powerglide sits behind the engine between the rails of the TT Fabricating car chassis.

The driver of the Con Cor Racing Chevy was pleased with his first year of Quick 32 Sportsman Series competition. Aside from his Cayuga victory, he qualified for all events, and had several quarter-final rounds. He placed eighth in the Championship Point Award Series standing for 2010.

Assisting Corriveau with his effort is crew chief Doug Lampman, and Jenn, Ashly and Lucas Corriveau make up the rest of the team. Sponsors include Corriveau Concrete Forming Supplies, KC Auto Parts, DSE1, TT Fabricating, ROBO Composites and Lampman Racecars.

Corriveau said he plans no major changes to the car for 2011. "We've got the car all apart and it should be put back together soon," he said. "But the program is staying the same for next season."

He also said that the series has proven a perfect venue for him to race.

"I couldn't be happier," he said. "The series is well-run and organized. And all the racers help each other. We've been treated fantastic by everyone."
