IN THE NEWS
Grabbing the records and getting the wins!
As you know we spend countless hours with our
customers on the phone tuning them between rounds and
although we can't be at every track every weekend we
do our very best.
This past weekend we were at the Hot Rod magazine NMCA
event.
Nostalgia Pro Street is one of the most hotly
contested classes this season. A typical bill on these engines soon will be approaching six digits. This is not cheap racing folks. Rob Golobo with Mike
Moran power and a set of our dominators has the mph
record approaching 190 mph in a street legal car in
the 1/4 mile!
This car is the most violent leaver in the Nostalgia
Pro-Street field. It literally scared the hell out of
me the first time I was standing next to it and it
left the line. If they can ever get this car hooked
it'll not only reset the mph record again, it should give Pittman
a run for next years championship. Get that new car
done guys!
The Championship this year is pretty much in the bag
with Dale Pittman grabbing yet another win for our
team.
Heres what his record looks like this year:
Won Atlanta – NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
R/U St.Louis – NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Won Virginia – NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
R/U Cecil County – NMCA, qualified #2 \ NPS.
Won Quaker City – Street Car Event, qualified #1 \ Pro
Street
Won Martin, Mi - NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Won Grand Bend, Canada - NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Won Quaker City - NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Won Maple Grove, Pa - PRO, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Won Stanton, Mi - NMCA, qualified #1 \ NPS.
Dale Pittman would like to thank among others, Matheos
Racing Engines, Rossler Transmissions, Mike Moran
Motorsports, Nitrous Express and of course Pro
Systems.
Super Street was an all Billy Glidden affair. Doing
long smokey burnouts leaving a haze in the air that
only settled after he dropped the clutch and blasted
out of the area. Glidden used one of our custom
Nitrous Pro-IV dominators to run a 7.54 at 187 mph and
win the final round.
Pro-Nostalgia was a runner up score for our team as
Jim Mackenzie redlighted away the win in the final
round...better luck next time Jim.
EZ street was a win for our side as current mph record
holder Bob Curran won the deal. He ran a fine 8.47
with his street legal corvette using FastTimes
Motorworks power. I had a good time working on your
car this weekend Bob, thanks for the win and the burnt
hamburger (just kidding).
Speaking of burnt, Jim Widener swapped out a burnt up
competitors carb for one of our designs after the last
round of qualifying had ended. So untested, using the
carburetor on raceday, just the way I handed it to him
(a carb I stole/borrowed/loaned from Bob Curran and
then hastily set it up for Widener), Jim made it all
the way to the final round. Good work Jim.
Hot Street found mph record holder Rick Moroso of Moroso Performance
scoring another final round berth with his 2000
Corvette. Rick was fighting electrical gremlins all
weekend. Fortunately his carburetor guy (yours truly)
looked at the computer graphs, brought out the dart
board and identified the defective component on his
first try...LOL. See Rick, I'm more than just a carb
guy..every once in awhile this blind pig finds an
acorn.
In Real Street, mph record holder Bruce Lagory broughtout the big whip.
Bruce uses one of our very big Dominators and BES
power to propel his 'Cuda to 150 mph passes and win
event after event after event.
A special U.S. Nationals congratulations to Tony
Depillo. We built a set of carbs for Tony for his
SS/B car and with our out of the box jetting (no time
to dyno) he made it all the way to the finals at the
U.S. Nationals where he pulled a "Mackenzie" and
redlighted away the win. Ooops. Tony's car qualified number one in SS/B and was so
fast he even outqualified half the SS/A cars. Great
job guys!
Congratulations to a couple of our other customers Jeg Coughlin and Jim Yates for their win
and runner up respectively in NHRA Pro-Stock at the U.S. Nationals
and thanks everyone for stopping in. Also, thank you Michael Ray for the fantastic photos.
See you at the races!!
