NCRC CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT - TURBO TODD MOYER
Fastest Turbo on 10.5's is almost ready for the 2012 Season

What's new for Team Moyer this year?

"We've made some pretty big changes this year, we're gonna run the same two cars. The Jerry Bickle 67 Camaro, Lamar Swindol will be driving it. We're also going to be running the Terry Murphy 63 Corvette and both cars will be tuned by Steve Petty.

Petty is a new addition to your team isn't he?

This is a new deal we just put together, Steve's going to be tuning the cars but we'll still be using the same engine builder, Jeff Nasier at NRC Racing Engines on both cars. The Corvette will running the same 640" 5.300 bore space motor and the Camaro will have a twin motor in it. That engine is actually going together right now and should be in the car in a few weeks. In addition to Steve Petty, Chase Driskell, Alan Haltom, and of course Lamar Swindol make up our Team for 2012."

Have you had a chance to test yet this year?

"We're hoping to be testing the first weekend to second weekend of March. Steve will fly in and hope to spend two or three days at a track getting the cars lined out."

Are your cars staying in Extreme 10.5?

Yeah, both cars will be staying in ADRL Extreme 10.5. We were just getting a handle on the Corvette when we exploded that Turbo on it, it grenaded and tore up our Big Stuff wiring harness and our Racepak, and without that you can't race. We were definitely getting a handle on it. Right off the trailer we 3.97 and 209 mph, something like that, so it's coming together.

What do you like about NCRC Converters?

I've had probably the best luck in the world with the Neal Chance, considering I ran it for 2 years and never broke it, never had a problem with it, and it worked the same flawlessly all those two years. So it was to me what I call a very consistent converter. It worked, and it stayed working the same and it never changed... We just got another one that's identical to the one in the Vette to put in the Camaro using the exact same setup.

What do you think of the Turbo Vs Blower battle brewing this year?

It's gonna be interesting, that's all I can say. Soon as we get Steve out there with us and let him see a few laps and make some changes - Yeah, the Turbo vs Blower deal is gonna be a heck of a battle. Billy Glidden came in there with a 3.88 last year, hopefully over the winter he found 2 or 3 hundredths so he can go 3.86 or 3.85 - that's fast for a Nitrous car!

Would you like to give a shout out to your sponsors?

"Yes, we'd like to thank Mickey Thompson Tires and Wheels, NRC Racing Engines and our New Sponsor Steve Petty helping us. I feel like he's one of the top tuners in the turbo industry and I think it's gonna take us to the next level."

Todd and his wife Kathaleen own TRM Automotive and Diesel Service in Pasadena, Texas - about 15 miles from Houston. They do Brakes, Transmissions, Tune Up's and specialize in Duramax, Power Stroke and Dodge Diesels. So if you need some help in that area make sure and look them up.

Thanks for bringing us up to date Todd and Good Luck this year!

The Team ran a Blown 2011 Spitzer Dragster at 8 races in 2011 and won 6 of them.

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

B

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.

CRITTENDON NEW MRA WORLD RECORD HOLDER
Lil Feller 2 & JarHead Racing Get it Done in Florida Mud

C

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...

DEMAYO 2011 SCSN HOT STREET CHAMPION
1.13 60' Naturally Aspirated WOW

M

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.

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!

ADRL LENMAR WORLD FINALS WINNERS & CHAMPIONS
NCRC Customers Clean up in Pro Extreme, Extreme 10.5 & Pro Mod!!!

Pro Extreme

T

he ADRL LenMar Motorsports World Finals VIII in Enis, Texas was completely off the chain for our customers here at Neal Chance Racing Converters. They flat out dominated this race and kicked butt!!!

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!

Extreme 10.5

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!

Pro Mod

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!

Big Midwest Shoot Out Draws Grandstand Busting Crowds for Final Race

B

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

B

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!!!

C

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!

harlie Booze Jr. laid down the law at Indy! Booze qualified #1 with a 8.36@159 blowing away Robbie Blankenship's record set in June. He then backed it up during the final round against Andy Schmidt in an all NCRC Final. Schmidt stood his car up hard when he gave it all it had, and Booze rocketed down the track with a new class record pass of 8.359@160.59 (ET Slip) - Heck of a way to end the season!.

Incrementals on the record breaking Pro Stock pass were:

Congratulations Charlie on the new Record and Championship; also to Andy on the race R/U finish!

Don Baskin also finished the NMCA Season with his second Mean Street Championship! Don qualified #1 at Indy with a 9.89@132 but had troubles during eliminations, regardless he had plenty of points to capture the season championship!

MORRIS WOODY WAGON GOES 4.66@162 FIRST HITS
3600 lbs of Battlewagon goes 4.60's off the trailer

S

teve Morris of Steve Morris Engines took his Heavy Chevy (as in 3600 lbs) Procharged Wagon to SGMP for the No Mercy Radial Revolution race October 15th and made some impressive initial passes.

Steve pushed the wagon to a 1.19 60', 3.14 330', 4.66@162.97 pass on 315 Radials, which was his FIRST pass with a new EFI system on the car. Imagine what that setup would do in a lighter car!

Morris broke the transmission on the next pass, along with a rocker and lifter so he was done before he really got started at this event, but he says it's got easy 4.50's in the combo, and we certainly don't doubt him!

Stay tuned to Steve Morris Engines to see what the Big Wagon will do when he gets it all repaired...

Very Impressive Steve!!

SHAHAN LAYS DOWN A 5.10 PASS N/A!!
Resets Hot Street Record in Arkansas

B

obby Shahan of Shahan Race Cars driving Ray Nosler's Maroon 95' Mustang got everyone's undivided attention October 1st when he went 5.10@135 with a Naturally Aspirated Small Block Ford during Prescott Raceway's N/A Hot Street Shootout. Nosler's 2820 lb 440" Single 4 barrel, BES Powered Small Block running on a 28x10.5 tire probably set a National Record of some sort, part of the crazy fast run was due to some great fall air but anyway you slice it, that's super fast for a naturally aspirated small block! Ray's running NCRC's 8" All Billet Converter, which might have helped a little bit with that great 60's.

Bobby's incrementals on a 58° track were:

Congratulations Bobby and Ray on an amazing pass and a new Hot Street Record!

BLANKENSHIP 2011 HOT STREET CHAMP
Edges out Booze at NMRA Season Final

R

obbie Blankenship and Charlie Booze ended their season long competition for the Hot Street Championship at the NMRA Season Final in Bowling Green October 1st. These two have put on a heck of a battle back and forth all year long in the extremely competitive Hot Street Naturally Aspirated Class.

Charlie Booze started things off by capturing the #1 qualifier position with a 8.435@163.14, with Mike Demayo at #3 with a 8.478@157.74 and Blankenship at #4 with a 8.495@160.06 rounding up a very tight class prior to eliminations.

Robbie reached down deep and found some more ET after qualifying running a 8.385@158.39 in round one where he defeated Keith Courtney, while Booze got a bye 1st round. 2nd round, Booze got an easy win over Demayo who went red .057, and Blankenship put Bowles on the trailer with a blazing 8.400.

Final round was an all NCRC Final pitting Booze vs Blankenship for the championship. Charlie got the holeshot, but could not hold of Blankenship who drove around for the win 8.39 to 8.44. That win should put Robbie in the points lead for the season.

Congratulations to all our NCRC Customers in Hot Street on a great season! Extra Attaboy's to Robbie for the race win and (unofficial) 2011 Championship and to Charlie on his R/U!

TUTTEROW WINS AUTO PRO MOD SMACKDOWN
Runs 3.80's like a Bracket Car - Third Win in a Row

K

ing Tut got to try out his new 14-71 Roots Blower this weekend at the House of Hook Automatic Pro Mod Smackdown at Carolina Dragway. Needless to say, it worked pretty darn good as well as the rest of Tutterow's combination recording a 3.81@196.07 in qualifying which was plenty quick to grab the #1 qualifying spot. Todd was running his new 67 GT500 Shelby Mustang built by Larry Jeffers.

Tutterow, winner of the last 2 races in the series, then put the car in bracket race mode laying down multiple low 3.80 passes throughout eliminations where he lined up against Mike "The Hitman" Hill for an All NCRC showdown. Hill shook the tires in his new car and Tutterow laid down yet another 3.84 to take the win light - his third in a row and the first win for his new Mustang!

Congratulations to Todd and the WYO Motorsports Team!!!

Pro Extreme

Alex Hossler took home the win in Pro Extreme over Josh Hernandez in an all NCRC Final Round which was a tough one for both racers. Hernandez lit the ugly red bulb and about the same time Hossler's Belt broke on his Al-Anabi Racing 57 Chevy. The win will give Alex a shot at the "Battle of the Belts" at the World Finals.

We also want to give a shout out to Jason Scruggs who was the #1 qualifier with a 3.622!

Congratulations Alex & Al-Anabi Racing Team on the win, Joshua on the Runner Up, and Jason on the #1 Qualifier!

Extreme Ten Five

Grant McCrary won his first ADRL Extreme Ten Five race at Norwalk the 2nd time with his new car! McCrary set a new personal best when he went up against the always tough to beat Chuck Ulsch and Team Mobley in a very close race. Ulsch went 3.887@210.08 and McCrary went 3.849@200.86 - talk about a close one! And check out the MPH for Ulsch on that run - 210 - almost 211, these cars are FLYING! The win also gets Grant a seat in the Battle For the Belts at the season final.

Todd Moyer, running NCRC "old school" technology blasted out a 209.20 pass during round one when he was racing Eric Stubbs. The pass didn't count as an official record either as he didn't get a chance to back it up and take the previous 206 mph record away from Chuck Ulsch, but unofficially, wow - that was awesome too!!! You know sooner or later he'll back it up and or better that MPH as the car still has a LOT left in it. NCRC Customers now hold the Extreme Ten Five ET Record (Dan Millen), the MPH Record (Chuck Ulsch) and the unofficial MPH Turbo Record (Todd Moyer), and an unofficial blower record at 210.08 by Chuck Ulsch.

Congratulations to Grant on his first ADRL Extreme Ten Five Victory, Chuck on his Runner Up and to Todd & Chuck on new unofficial MPH records!!!

Pro Mod

Lee Adkins won the ADRL Pro Modified Class over #1 qualifer Pete Farber. Adkins set Low ET of the event in the final when he laid down a 3.903@191.59 easily defeating Farber's off pace 4.748@122.50. That car of Lee's is one of the Fastest Converter Driven Nitrous Cars on the planet and is the current NHRA A/PM record holder, it's also the first ever to win a ADRL Pro Nitrous Race.

Congratulations Lee!!!

T

om Olson and Dan Kroll both had a winning weekend at the September 17th MDRA Race at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wisconsin. Dan was the first to record a win during the August Make Up race which was ran during the 2nd Round of Qualifying. He also ran a new personal best ET of 5.10!!

Tom Olson, aka Bonecrusher, in the Green Camaro recorded the first pass in the 4's for MDRA when he went 4.96@145 during qualifying. That made him first to the 4's in MDRA 275 Radial - darn quick for a Nitrous Small Block that wasn't at minimum weight! Kroll and Olson meet up in the all NCRC Final Round and the win went to Olson who went 5.16. Kroll had to pedal his Mustang, dashing his hopes for two in a row, but hey, you can never complain about getting at least one win...

MANSON SCORES TWO 275 D/R CHAMPIONSHIPS
Wins MIR 275 and Ultimate Outlaws 275 Championship at the Same Time!

A

ndy Manson certainly knows how to work hard to win a championship, or two! The NMRA Heavy hitter won season championships in two classes September 17th at the Prichett Brothers Ultimate Outlaws Race at MIR, which was also a double points race for the MIR 275 Class as well. Manson and Crew Chief Chris Acor ran into a bit of a problem during Friday qualifying, they discovered the Boss 5.0 Mod Motor had cracked the block but still qualified 5th. With no time to swap engines it wasn't looking good, but instead of giving up and loading the car up, with nothing to lose, they decided to drain the water out and run her dry!

Well it worked! Andy ran a 4.90 first round, and in the second round he put it on the bumper causing him to pedal and slow to a 5.0 losing round. That was good enough though to put him over the top to win both championships that were on the line!

Andy says the championships wouldn't have been possible without the help of Chris Acor of Acors Performance, he is the main reason they team has done some well this year. It's been a busy year indeed, the team has racked up over 36,000 miles this year hitting races every weekend. That's the kind of hard work and determination that wins championships, and races. Andy also wanted to thank his sponsors, Quartermax, John Snde at Vortech, Mike Denny at USF Machine Shop, Dave Guy his tuner, Chris Acors, and noted it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the fast overnight shipping at Neal Chance that sent him parts out a few days before the MIR Race.

Manson is hoping to run well at NMRA Beach Bend soon, he has a shot at points in that series as well!

Congratulations Andy on your Championships and good luck with the rest of the season!

R

obbie Blankenship stretched his lead in points out over Charlie Booze Jr. in Comp Cams Pro Stock. Michael Demayo appeared to be going to give Blankenship a run for his money in the final at Milan after running some very salty 8.45's and 8.56's in eliminations but he unfortunately broke in the "All NCRC" final against Blankenship who laid down his best pass of the day with a 8.48@158.00. It's going to be tough for Booze to catch Blankenship in points this late in the season.

Congratulations Robbie on another well earned win!

NCRC Headliner Frankie Taylor set the pace in qualifying with a 3.626@207.43, with Scrugg's right there behind him with a 3.648@205.51. Low ET in Qualifying didn't give Frankie a clear pass to the finals however, he got taken out in the 1st round when he ran an off-pace 3.775 against Janis. Scruggs however did take his efforts all the way to the winners circle when he blasted a 0.053, 3.630@206.70 to Snyder's 0.046, 3.691@206.35 for the Pro Extreme Win.

Congratulations Jason and Team on getting back to the Winners Circle and your new Low ET!

Dan Millen, the #1 qualifer edged out #2 qualifier Chuck Ulsch in the final round of Extreme 10.5 at the ADRL Richmond, Virigina Race.

Millen jumps into the #1 spot in points with this race win, his second in the last three races, and bumps Billy Glidden into the #2 spot.

Congrat's Dan on the Win and Chuck / Team Mobley on the R/U!

We also want to give a shout out to Grant McCrary who made it to the Semi's in his new car, running some old school NCRC Technology which was good enough to put him well into the three's first time out running ADRL. He went 3.969/199.14 during qualifying! No doubt Grant's going to shake things up in the class as he continues to get the new car lined out.

Switches to NCRC Billet Converter, now in the 5's!!!

S

kinny Kid Race Cars from Commerce, Michigan dumped their clutch and switched over their Famous Hurst Olds to the NCRC All Billet Converter in July and have been making very good progress.

Incrementals were .947, 2.65, 3.95@194 - not too shabby for a 2700 lb car!

No doubt SKRC will be working out the tune up details over the next few weeks and continue to improve.

Winters got out first, but Von Ahnen reeled him in with a strong 10.201@131.18 vs Winters 10.409@131.23 effort.

Congratulations on the win Alan and Dave!

arry Daniluk made some impressive runs at the May 28th NHRA Division 6 Race in Mission B.C. including some stunning 60' times. The Red Deer, Alberta Canada racer recorded a .951 60' on the first pass of the year testing and ran 4.09@173 to the eighth, and 6.36@217.40 in the quarter to record his new personal best pass.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES...
NCRC Testing New Advanced "SoftLock" Design

Another industry first from NCRC, the same company that introduced the World's First Bolt Together and First All Billet Torque Converter

L

ate last year Neal Chance Racing Converters began a new series of design changes in our final push to "Kill the Clutch". After years of continual improvement, the latest All Billet Converters have proven their worth by capturing numerous World Records and Championships in every class of door slammer racing by being able to outperform the clutch (and other converters) on the front half of the track.

However, clutch cars could still typically out mile per hour our designs due to slippage. Of course, Drag Races are won by ET, not MPH, so our customers were winning... But we always thought we might be leaving a little bit on the table on the top half of the track, so design development was started so that our customers can put the final nail in the clutch's coffin...

In the coming months ahead, Neal Chance will be releasing our new SoftLock Technology to our customers available as an upgrade, or built into a new converter. SoftLock was designed in house from scratch using the latest in Computational Fluid Dynamics combined with our in house CAD/CAM that let us develop a entire new design of internal components that offer adjustable rates of lock up by design, not accident.

SoftLock is not based on antiquated OEM Technology that destroys everything downstream in the driveline like the transmission and the rearend, it's a fresh new design that we can adjust to suit the car combination. That's right, this is NOT a one size fits all design. We can create custom internal components and rates of lockups to suit different car combos because what works for a Turbo car isn't necessarily the fast ticket for a Blower, or Nitrous car.

The first tests of the new SoftLock Technology have been completed with, frankly, stunning results! Tests on a well known, but top secret combo yielded data we needed to make sure we were on the right path and a few things we needed to tweak. Over the next few weeks, more testing will be conducted on state of the art cars (Sorry, we're not saying who at this point) to get more data and full scale production will start SOON.

To sum the new SoftLock design up for you real quick - "Get on Board, or Get out of the Way".. If you don't have a Neal Chance, you don't stand a Chance!

From the folks at Neal Chance Racing Converters - Break Records, not Parts!!!

TAYLOR & DECERBO RESET ADRL RECORDS
NCRC Customers break records at ADRL Maple Groove in Pro Extreme and Pro Nitrous

Joey Martin and Fankie Taylor both broke the ADRL Pro Extreme record at Maple Groove during the Penske Truck Leasing Inaugural Northeast Drags on May 7th. Joey started the record smashing on Friday when he laid down a 3.584 and backed it up Saturday with a 3.596 in the mid-day sun. Frankie, not to be outdone, followed suit and laid down a slightly better 3.581 on Friday, and backed it up as well on Saturday edging out Martin's brief 6 hour record holding title.

Martin ran out of chances to snatch the record back from Taylor when the Famous Lowmad Wagon encountered starter problems in the first round. You can bet the Lowmad will be back to retake that record soon enough! Taylor got knocked out by Todd Tutterow in an all NCRC second round, but he certainly gets some points for breaking the record. Unfortunately delays prevented Pro Extreme from finishing this race.

Congratulations to Frankie & Joey both on your record smashing performances!

John Decerbo set a new record for ADRL Pro Nitrous with an Automatic this weekend at the ADRL Maple Groove Race. John went 3.834@190.35 during qualifying. Decerbo, the #6 qualifier shook the tires in the first round ending his day way too early but we know he'll be back. John's previous personal best was a 3.87, and he keeps chipping away at his ET - at this pace he'll be in the 3.70's before you know it!

Congratulations on the new Pro Nitrous Auto Record John!

NCRC Headliner Chuck Ulsch and Mobley Racing picked up where they left off running some very good numbers in Extreme 10.5. Ulsch captured the #1 Qualifier spot with a 3.95, then set Low ET & Top MPH for the race of 3.898@204.94 when he defeated Lamar Swindoll during the semi-finals. 2010 Champion Dan Millen was also running very strong after recovering from a fire at the previous ADRL race. Millen defeated Frankie Taylor during the semi's with a 3.90@201.07 over Taylor's 4.09@184.70. If the rain didn't cause problems it would have been a all NCRC Final Round between Ulsch and Millen.

MARTIN CLEAN SWEEPS ADRL PRO EXTREME
Team Lowmad proves unstoppable at Palm Beach

W

e knew it was going to happen, we just didn't know "when" the stars would all line up at the same time for the Lowmad Team of Joey Martin and Toney Russell. Our suspicions were correct, as this last weekend Joey Martin, driver and Chassis Builder for Team Lowmad, pulled a CLEAN SWEEP in ADRL Pro Extreme in front of an overflowing crowd at Palm Beach International Raceway.

Not only was the win remarkable, but Team Lowmad really made a point of it...

• First Pro Extreme to run a 3.6x every pass in qualifying.
• Quickest Pro Extreme in every round.
• Number 1 qualifier with a 3.642@205.35.
• Set PBIR track record (He also holds the track record in Houston).
• Set New ADRL 60' record of .904.

Pulling off a spectacular win was no cakewalk for the Team as they definately had to thrash during eliminations, competitors Jason and Mitchell Scruggs even lent a hand helping out to get the car turned around.

Congratulations Joey, Car Owner Toney Russell and the Lowmad Team on a new Record and the First Pro Extreme Win!

In other ADRL news, NCRC Headliner and #1 Qualifier Dan Millen suffered a terrible fire in Extreme 10.5 when his engine let go during the semifinals, luckily he escaped unharmed but the car on the other hand will need significant repairs. Millen did win the round even while on fire!

In Pro Nitrous, John Decerbo go to the semifinals in Pro Nitrous and recorded a 3.87 at this race, which is a new personal best for John! He's getting the new combo figured out and going rounds!

aryland International Raceway held their 1st Midnight Madness Race on April 15th, the air temps were cold, and so was the track but that didn't mean it wasn't hooking. In pre-race passes, many cars were standing up thanks to the great track prep MIR did.

Francis Johnson and Team found the perfect setup during the second round of qualifying laying down a 4.676@153.42 ground pounding pass to nab the #1 Qualifying position, but get this, they recorded a 1.107 60 ft ET - a new record for a Outlaw Drag Radial car!!!

Johnson held his ET advantage throughout eliminations, he even recorded a 4.656@156 over Kevin Mullins in the Semis when Mullins stood it up big time. In the final Francis meet up with Bobby Flippen and defeated him with a 4.779@152.55 to Flippens 5.005@137.99.

Congratulations Francis and your Team on a new Record and the ODR Win!

NMCA BRADENTON SEASON OPENER WINNERS
Bucaro, Booze and Baskin Triple Win at NMCA 1st Race

J

oe Bucaro launched his 2011 season off with a great start by taking home the win at NMCA's Bradenton race in Nostalgia Pro Street. Bucaro consistently laid down passes in the low 7.30's throughout eliminations and slapped a holeshot win on Chuck Demory in the final round with an .046 light to Demory's .121, Joe put down another 7.316@181.37 to take home his first NMCA win of the season.

Congratulations Joe!!!

Over in Pro Stock, Charlie Booze mowed through his competition to take his second win of the season. Hot on the heals of his previous NMRA win in Hot Street, Charlie defeated fellow NCRC Customer Michael DeMayo in an ALL NCRC Final Round. Booze cut a good light and ran 8.509@159.37, proving too quick for DeMayo's 8.645@158.89.

Congratulations Charlie on your second win of the Season, and to Michael DeMayo on your R/U!!

Don Baskin had a bit of luck go his way at Bradenton - He qualified #1, which was a very good position to be in as it got him a bye run in round 1. That was important as his 67 Chevy II broke on the single, but he still broke the beams giving him a chance to make repairs before round 2. That gave the 2009 Mean Street Champion a chance to make repairs and he came back strong in the 2nd round, laying down a 9.94@124.18 over a redlighting David Hill who ran 10.388. Don continued on and defeated Gary Duncan in the final running an even faster 9.835@133.74 over Duncan's 10.572@125.19.

Congratulations Don on your first win of the season!

NCRC CHAMPS GET BIT BY RED LIGHT BUG AT BAYTOWN
ADRL Season Opener in Baytown Texas was a Redlight Magnet

J

oey Martin had a stellar weekend and was in hot contention to go to the finals but had difficulties in the 3rd round loosing to Todd Tutterow in an ALL NCRC match up. Joey recorded a 3.667@@206.64 in the 2nd round of Pro Extreme, the quickest pass of the race! We fully expect to see Joey and Lowmad visiting the winners circle sometime this year, he has that Wagon flying!

Also in Pro Extreme Todd Tutterow, fresh off his 2nd place finish in the QRC Battle for the Belts was making a hard charge to the final round. Tutterow made it all the way to the finals against Jason Hamstra, but unfortunately drew a ugly red light, dashing his hopes on a win at the season opener. You can bet Todd will be back in contention at the next race at Palm Beach April 15th.

In Extreme 10.5 NCRC Customer Dan Millen found his groove and laid down the fastest passes in qualifying landing him the #1 spot with a 3.830@203.34. The 2010 Champ also got bit by the red light bug during the first round, ending his day early just like Tutterow but he still ran a 3.893 - the only car in the 3.80's during eliminations. We were happy to see NCRC Customer Eric Stubbs join the ranks in Extreme 10.5, Eric was laying down some good numbers in his beautiful new Vette.

In Pro Nitrous, John Decerbo also got bit by the red light bug in the 2nd round loosing to Jim Halsey who only ran a 5.060, while Decerbo laid down a new personal best of 3.890. That pass certainly shows they are definitely getting the new combo figured out. We would also like to give a shout out to Doug Riesterer who qualified an impressive #3 with a 3.843@191.24 - that's hauling the mail!

We would certainly like to be congratulating everyone for winning, but it appears Baytown carried with it a bit of bad luck for our NCRC customers regardless of their impressive performances. Hopefully the Red Light bug will get squashed before the next event!

NMRA BRADENTON NCRC WINNERS
First Race of the 2011 Season

T

im Essick captured his first win of the 2011 Season right at the season opener - what a grand way to start the year. Essick, the 2007 Pro Outlaw Champion, qualified #1 with a 6.850@210 edging out NCRC Headliner and NMRA 2010 Champion Conrad Scary, who laid down a 6.942@215.36 for the #2 spot. Scarry and Essick met up again in a all NCRC Final Round, this time with Essick having the upper hand during a troublesome pass for both competitors. Scarry lost power and left real soft, while Essick had the opposite happen, he blew the tires off and had to pedal at the 60'. While Scarry fought to wake his car up, Essick recovered and came out on top with a 7.562@201.43

Congratulations Tim and Crew!!

Kenjo Kelley from Texas made the long haul to Bradenton to run in SSO, and he certainly made it worth his effort. Kenjo soundly defeated Phil Hines in the final with a 7.579@189.99 over Hines who had some traction problems running a 7.803@186.29

Congratulations Kenjo!!

Congratulations Charlie!!

JOHN HALL GOES 3.90 - .967 60'!
Starting season out with killer ET's

J

ohn Hall started the 2011 Season out knocking down some killer ET's at the Shakedown at PBIR. His Musi powered Camaro ran a 3.90@188 with a amazing .967 60' time during qualifying, extremely close to a National Record for a Automatic Pro Mod.

Unfortunately, John's beautiful Camaro suffered from a Nitrous Backfire on the starting line during eliminations, ending his chances to put the hurt to his competition at this event. We're sure they'll have the car repaired soon and be back out in the hunt quickly.

Congratulations John and Annette on your new personal best pass!!

Win's Arabian Drag Racing League Series in Qatar

D

an Millen set both ends of the Extreme 10.5 record and captured another Arabian Drag Racing League World Record in Doha, Qatar February 18th. Millen, the American Drag Racing League 2010 Champion, continued his bracket racer like consistency that worked in America earlier in the year 1/2 the way around the world in Qatar.

Dan dispatched David Hance in the semifinals with a 3.811, then in the final round he defeated Frankie Taylor in his Ex Pro Extreme Chevy Corvette for the Battle of the belts win.

BLOWN PRO MOD LEAVES HARDER THAN MOST FUNNY CARS
Martin & Russell - First Converter Doorslammer to the .8X 60 ft.!!!

A

fter 25 years of continuous improvement in racing converter technology, Marty Chance can say Neal Chance Racing Converters has surpassed the clutch when it comes to getting a car to leave the line.

That fine line on the ET Clocks was broken last fall by an ADRL Pro Extreme car, the 55 Chevy Nomad nicknamed "Lowmad", which is driven by Joey Martin and owned by Toney and Fonda Russell. The Madison, Alabama based team broke into uncharted territory at the November 6th, 2010 Emerald Coast Dragway race in Holt Florida when they broke into the 8 tenths of a second range in the 60 ft. Specifically, they went .897 and came back around and did a .896 - a new 60ft World Record for a Door Slammer, and it was done with a Torque Converter!

Why does a few hundredths of a second matter? Because that ET makes this car, and potentially other NCRC converter equipped cars like it, able to leave just as fast as most NHRA Fuel Funny Cars which often 60ft in the .880 to .910 range - and .880 to .890 is fast even for those cars which make thousands more horsepower.

Joey Martin, Driver and Builder of "Lowmad" says "Clutches are for Dump Trucks!" and has the time slips to prove it. He also noted the ET's aren't a fluke. The 55 Wagon which he just finished updating with lightweight carbon fiber body typically 60's in the .90 range, which is blazing fast. It wasn't a diaper dragger either, you don't get a .022 reaction time if something like that happens. Joey and the Russell Racing Team are excited about the upcoming 2011 season and are ready for the competition.

The torque converter that helped set this new world record is far from ordinary, it's the state of the art in light weight converter technology capable of harnessing the 3000+ horsepower from a blown Pro Mod and couple it to the drivetrain in a hyper efficient manner. NCRC's Full Billet CNC Aluminum Torque Converters utilize an advanced 5 axis machined body and fins which are often up to 17 lbs. lighter than competitors steel converters.

You might ask yourself how can a car that has less tire and less horsepower leave harder than a Fuel Funny Car? The answer is torque multiplication, which is what a converter is designed to do and with less mass hanging off the crankshaft that has to be accelerated, the result is quicker ET's. The trick is how to make it work at today's insane power levels which the crew at Neal Chance have mastered remarkably well. If you're ready to "Dump your clutch", and get your car to leave like a Funny Car, give NCRC a call today!
