DRUMMOND & NELSON WIN AT US NATS
NCRC Customers set low ET, top MPH and win 2 classes

2010 is off to a heck of a start for NCRC Customers with two big wins and more amazing performances at the US Street Nationals in Bradenton, Florida.

Steve Drummond, Owner of Drummond Race Cars, driving Mike Bradfords 08 Mustang took home the win in Pro Street. Drummond qualified #6 with a 4.126@185.29 (top mph) behind two other NCRC customers, Mike Hill with a 4.090@178.74 and Tony Christian who laid down a 4.00@183.03 with his new converter combo. Steve defeated Michael Joneskog from Sweden in the final when Joneskog couldn't make the call. Even with the automatic win, Drummond ran it out the back door with a 4.06@181.

Congratulations to Steve, Owner Mike Bradford, and team on a great first outing for 2010!

NEWSHAM AWARDED 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS
1320X Ultimate Outlaw and Atco Quick 8 Champion for 2009

Joe Newsham and his double bad Blue Mustang finished it's last season winning 2 Outlaw 10.5 Championships for 2009. Joe took home the Atco Raceway Quick 8 Championship and the 1320X Ultimate Outlaw Championships for 2009. He might have seized some others had rainy weather not shut down so many races this year.

The winning combo from J & E Performance made it's last pass at the Shakedown at E-Town this year when Joe wrecked badly. Towards the end of a blistering pass that was hard on the bars, the car made a hard move left putting the car on it's top sliding across the track, bouncing into the retaining wall at 200 mph. Luckily, Joe only received a cracked vertebra and was able to walk away from the horrific crash. The Mustang was not so lucky, it was a total loss but did it's job and protected it's driver as well as you could ask it to.

The loss of the Stang won't prevent Joe from being a serious challenge to Outlaw 10.5 competitors in 2010 however. He's purchased a very nice 1992 Camaro built by Vanishing Point that will receive the same killer twin turbo engine combo out of the Stang. Joe says it's a real nice car and it's gonna be faster, so watch out!

Congratulations on your Championship wins Joe and Team J & E Performance!

ZALDIVAR & FUTCH OUTLAW 10.5 CHAMPS
2009 ORSCA Outlaw 10.5 World Champions and Record Holder

There's no doubt that the red hot 2004 Corvette of Carlos Zaldivar with Bill Futch behind the wheel had to be a very intimidating sight for fellow competitors this year. The duo was #1 qualifier at 7 out of 8 events, which immediately painted a big red target on their back. Any competitor wanting to advance to the final round knew they had their work cut out for them, and most failed...

While the team made it look easy, any racer knows the level of commitment and dedication it takes to run at the top, let alone race at the pace these two guys have in 2009, is not for the fainthearted. Not only did they take home the ORSCA points championship, they also laid claim to one of the quickest 60's in the class, in the 1.07 range consistently (impressive for a turbo car). They also put down the quickest and fastest pass of the year with a 4.24@184.

Congratulations on the Championship and impressive season Carlos, Bill and the entire CZ Racing Team!
