he Molnar / Quesenberry Motorsports Team had a great season with their new Top Dragster running a Neal Chance Converter. The Team ran a Blown 2011 Spitzer Dragster at 8 races in 2011 and won 6 of them. In the process of all those wins, they broke the track record at Thompson Raceway Park, Summit Motorsports Park and Dorchester Raceway which is no small feat.

Their quickest pass occured at Thompson's Asphalt Wars in September where they laid down a blistering 3.7392@193.71 during qualifying, over a tenth faster than #2 qualifier and broke the track record for a 2nd time in the season. With Dave Quesenberry's tuning, and Paul Molnar's driving skills, the duo also collected the win as well!

Congratulations to both Paul and Dave, and the Molnar / Quesenberry Motorports Team on a Stellar Racing Season!

MAHONEY OSCA PRO STOCK CHAMPION & RECORD HOLDER
Wraps up 2011 Season on top despite bad wreck at Season Final

utch Kemp said one word that fully describes Wayde Mahoney's racing program this year, DEDICATION, and certainly no one will disagree that Wayde, Crew Chief Mike plus lots of friends are "All In" when it comes to running OSCA Pro Stock.

At the last race of the Ontario Street Car Association season Wayde cut a tire down in the lights and he got into the wall during qualifying, basically tearing the car up pretty bad - [ Crash Photo | Crash Photo #2 ].

A lot of guys would have loaded it up right then and there, licked their wounds and called it a year... but not Wayde oh no sir... Aided by his friends and team, they put in an all night thrash fest replacing the front end, radiator, hood, tires, wheels and lots of other parts and had it all back together in time for eliminations the next morning! Mahoney won the season final, and finished with points to spare to take the win for the OSCA Pro Stock Season Championship and it was his first year running Pro Stock to boot! Can't beat a storybook ending like that.

While he was at it during his first year in the class, Wayde also ended the season as the OSCA Pro Stock ET & MPH Record holder with a 8.188@174.77 weighing in 3280 lbs! Most anybody will agree that's flying without a power adder of any sort - we're impressed as well!

Congratulations Wayde & Mike on your season championship, records and the hard work it took to get there!

Mahoney's Mustang is powered by a BES Racing 555 BBF with A-460 Trickflow heads, Hutch Transmission and the Billet Aluminum NCRC Converter.

hris Crittendon aka "Woo" of Greenhead Florida races in the Mud Racers Association (MRA) Renegade DOT Pit Class, which is the first Naturally Aspirated Pro Class in mud pit racing. He and his wife Benita set the World Record in the class for the first time in Cobbtown, GA back in May, then they completely rebuilt the truck to step it up another notch.

After some last minute tweaks to the converter setup getting everything dialed in, their efforts were rewarded at the MRA Season Final Championship in Bithlo, Florida. The JarHead Racing team broke their own World Record on the 1st pass, then broke it again on the second pass!

The team plans on running the full MRA circuit in 2012, and with the records they hold will certainly be visiting the winners circle often we bet!

If you've got some time, check out this YouTube Video of Lil Feller 2. The first run is at at 0:28 and the second at 1:29. He's got that Chevy Screaming!

Congratulations to Chris, Benita & the JarHead Team on their standing 2011 World Record & Good luck next season...

ike DeMayo captured his 2nd Hot Street win at the Seventh Annual Street Car Super Nationals November 20th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. DeMayo, who won the class in 2008 turned in a repeat performance again this year. Competition was strong with a good field of cars in the Naturally Aspirated Class.

DeMayo's Weapon of Choice

NCRC Customer Robbie Blankenship, the 2011 NMRA Hot Street Champion set the bar by grabbing #1 Qualifier with a 8.126@165.40, DeMayo was #2 recording a 8.168@166.09, and Don Bowles was #3 qualifier with a 8.237@165.07. When it came down to the All NCRC Final Round, It was Bowles Vs. DeMayo and they put on a close race. DeMayo went 8.116 to Bowles 8.148 taking Team Powerhead to the Winners Circle once again.

Mike reported that his 95 Mustang laid down a 1.13 60', which is flat awesome for a small tire, naturally aspirated combo! His NCRC Ultra Light Full Billet Converter might have played a small part in that awesome launch!

Congratulations Mike and Team Powerhead!

Frankie Taylor started things off by tying his own World Record Pass during qualifying Friday, running an awesome 3.581@211.36 mph landing him the #1 spot in an incredibly tough field and breaking the Texas Motorplex Track Record in the process. Jason Scruggs landed the #2 position with a 3.590@208 - his first pass in the 50's, Joey Martin grabbed #3 with a 3.628, Todd Tutterow came in 5th with a 3.634, Gaylen Smith was there also landing 6th at 3.645, and Alex Hossler in 7th with a 3.664 - a bunch of our guys in the top 10!

Todd Tutterow, aka King Tut, set his new 67 Mustang in bracket racer mode and dialed it in at 3.63; that was the key to him winning his second ADRL Battle for the Belts.. Crazy fast and super consistant and you all know how hard to beat that is! He defeated Frankie Taylor 1st round, which is no small feat, with a 3.634, next he took out Hamstra in the semi's. In the "All NCRC" final round he was up against Alex Hossler who broke in the burnout and Tutterow took home the rare ADRL Gold Belt!

Congratulations to Todd on your Second Battle for the Belts Win!

Jason Scruggs, the #2 qualifier took out #1 qualifier Frankie Taylor in the All NCRC final round for the event win. Scruggs ran a 3.604@208.59 over Taylor's off pace 3.719@178.07 marking his second win this season which got off to a rough start. Scrugg's has definitely worked the problems out on the car and is flying now!

Way to go Jason! Congrat's on a great final to your racing season!! Also congratulations to Frankie Taylor on the R/U!

We also want to give a shout out to Brandon Snider who brought out his new Joey Martin Race Cars built Vette equipped with a Neal Chance All Billet Converter to it's first race. Snider ran a best of 3.677 and 207 mph - that's pretty darn impressive considering they are still working the bugs out of the car - keep your eye on this awesome machine next year!

Dan Millen completely dominated the ADRL World Finals, and can lay an undisputed claim to being "The Baddest Man Alive on 10.5's" after running a CLEAN SWEEP winning it ALL at the Texas Motorplex. Millen drove home to Michigan with the 2011 ADRL World Championship, the Battle for the Belts Win, and the season final event win. Anyone reading this would have to agree after a weekend like that, we'd all be smiling for weeks... and that would just be over the bragging rights, the $48,000 Millen pocketed for the weekend was just icing on the cake. No other driver in ADRL came close to a season like Dan had, not only that but this is also his 2nd back to back championship as well. Whew.. We just hope he can still put his helmet on after all that, none of us could!

Dan wasn't the only NCRC customer tearing it up in Texas, Grant McCrary, the #2 qualifier with a 3.860@203.83 and previous race winner was going to be tough and Millen had to get past him in the "All NCRC" final round to get the win, and he did. Millen went 3.889@200.35 over McCrary's 3.910@202.39 in an very close season final. There is no doubt that GMAC will be a front runner in the 2012 ADRL Season and he's already got up to speed very quickly with his Turbocharged combination.

Big congratulations to Dan and his team on a outstanding season and the championship!

Lee Adkins followed up his Pro Mod win at Norwalk with his 2nd in a row win at the ADRL World Finals. Adkins, the #5 qualifier defeated Khalid Al-Balooshi in the 2nd round with a hole shot and took out Pete Farber with another hole shot in the final running 3.929@187.18 vs Farber's slightly slower 3.923@191.00.

Congratulations Lee and team on your second straight victory in a row!

FINAL THROW DOWN IN T-TOWN - BREAKING RECORDS & WINNING RACES!
Big Midwest Shoot Out Draws Grandstand Busting Crowds for Final Race

ob Bales grabbed his first win in the Oklahoma True Ten Five class at the Throwdown, and he blew away his own record in the process as well! Bob ran a 4.98@151, 7 MPH faster and .01 quicker than his previous record setting performance - woo hoo! Bales took out Thomas's White Fairmont from Texas in the early morning final round and laid claim to the big purse. This is Bob's first year with this car, and although he's no stranger to racing at this level, he certainly got the car up to speed quick!

Congratulations Bob!

LenMar Motorsports Co-Owner Gaylen Smith unloaded James Dean, the Teams beautiful 1959 Corvette and ran a 3.69, getting him the #1 qualifier position and a new track record for Tulsa Raceway Park. Gaylen didn't have success in eliminations, but it's not a bad day when you reset the track record, qualify #1 and run a new personal best in James Dean as well!

Congrat's Gaylen!

Todd Kitchen fought his Outlaw Ten Five Trans Am all summer long working the bugs out of the new setup, but it all started coming back together at the Throw Down for his new combination. Todd laid down a 4.358 resetting the ET record in the OT5R Series which is very impressive if you knew the combination this car has. Todd ran into some tire shake during eliminations stopping him early, but another NCRC Competitor Aaron York did make it to the finals and runnered up!

Congrat's on the new Record Todd and to Aaron on your R/U!

BRIAN PAYNE UK STREET ELIMINATOR CHAMPION
NCRC Customers Totally Dominate Class

rian Payne took home the 2011 UK Street Eliminator Championship after the National Finals at Santa Pod Raceway. Brian finished 760 points ahead of Race Winner Ian Hook, who runnered up in points for the season, and Alex McIntosh who came in 3rd in points, and runnered up in the National Finals..

UK Street Eliminator is the longest established street-legal drag racing series in Europe and features some of the quickest and fastest hard-core true street cars on the planet.They still incorporate a street cruise as part of each race, something most classes here in the United States dropped years ago.

There is one thing these three racers share in common, along with 86% of the entire UK Street Eliminator race field... They all rely on Neal Chance Racing Converters to set take them to the winners circle and win championships!

The 2011 Champion Brian Payne, along with many of the other racers in the class also rely on Andy Frost Racing Transmissions - a great combination with NCRC!

Congratulations Brian on your 2011 Championship, Ian on your Runner Up and Alex for your third place finish.

We'd also like to thank Andy Frost, the NCRC Dealer in the UK for his great support to the racers!

CADOTTO 2011 MILAN OUTLAW 10.5 CHAMPION
Takes Dodge Truck to Gun Fight, and Wins!!!

ris Cadotto ran into many setbacks building his Hemi Powered Outlaw 10.5 Dodge Truck, but he fought through them and that perseverance let him lay claim to the 2011 Southern Motors Outlaw 10.5 Championship at Milan Dragway.

Cadotto finished the season with a best ET of 7.02@195 at 3300 lbs, that's in a Truck with 10.5 tires - pretty impressive! Especially when you consider this is his first year with blown Alky. Now that his team has their feet wet with the combo, you can certainly bet this full size bright red Dodge will be well into the 6's next season...

Congratulations Chris and Team Members on your Championship!
