Hat Drag Racing Association, this weekend was our Division 6 National
Open, and we had about 350+ cars that showed up to participate. Members
of MHDRA did very well this weekend taking top honors in some of the
classes, there were a lot of very tough and top completers from all
over the Division 6 that came. Here are the winners and runner-ups
for the respected classes: Mike Shannon from Kelowna was the dominant
racer on the weekend as he competed in six classes on the two days.
He went to four final rounds and won two. Brian Thompson won Sportsman
both days, Dusitn Hentges won Top Comp both days and David Rastad
won Pro on Saturday and Combo on Sunday Aug 4/ 07 Aug 5/07 National Open standings (one race remaining, Bremerton Sept. 22-23)
June 15, 2007 Edmonton's Fox Hunt "Mother Nature Has Never Been A Drag Racing Fan"... By Austin Ogonoski (photo gallery courtesy Sheryl Ogonoski) The 2007 edition of the FoxHunt was held at Castrol Raceway for the first time in many years this past Saturday. This marks the final big event before the IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals in early July. Many racers were eager to test their rides before then. The weather started out perfect for racing, as cool, cloudy, and windy conditions helped the cars perform their best. However, conditions were changing every few minutes. Sportsman drivers were changing their dial-in two, maybe even three times before their run. Qualifying was intense, as many drivers in the Quick Rod and Top Sportsman classes would run their exact class index. The quick rod class had three drivers run in the 9.10 - 9.11 time spot, with the #1 Qualifying spot going to Team ACE Racing's Francesca Plaizier, who ran almost exactly 9.100. Pro Nostalgia Funnycar class also got in two qualifying sessions, with Joey Steckler grabbing the pole with a 7.52. . In attendance were Joey Steckler, Eddy Plaizier, Cory Kincaid, Tim Boychuk, Jason Bussey, Darrell Webb, Mark Campbell and Tony Kupris. Many Pro Nostalgia cars were running 7.30's with the cool weather. In TA/D, Greg Sereda was to match race alongside 18 yr. old Ashley Bart. Bart could not get the car started on the line. This left Greg on a single, his engine exploded about halfway down the track. TA/FC also had some troubles. Nathan Sitko's throttle linkage broke halfway down the track, rendering his pedal useless against Trevor Lebsack. Kevin Therres, with his new blue and green paint scheme, also had problems, as his blower belt let go. There was a large flame under the car, and then the hood relief panel shot up into the air. The car was not seriously damaged. The final pairing was Ken Kraus against Cal Tebb. These two looked to have the first clean race of the night, but Ken crossed over into Cal's lane at the 1000ft mark, scaring the crowd and I’m sure himself. Both drivers’ were quick to react, which prevented what could have been disastrous. Terry Capp piloted Ron Hodgson’s born again "Pacemaker/BubbleUp " Nostalgia Nitro/FC. Fans were treated to a match race against Terry Capp and Mike Grekul. Mike Grekul is in the seat of Tim and Rhonda Stevenson’s 71 Nostalgia Mustang Nitro/FC. Capp had a quick run against Grekul, running in the 6.40's, but got in trouble after the finish line, as both sets of headers scraped the ground, leaving a trail of sparks, and causing some ground effects, sending the car veering to the right side. Terry kept it off the wall, and the car returned with minimal damage. Jason Duchene and Randy Bykowsky were also on the property. Randy Bykowsky’s new "Hi-Velocity" 2006 Monte Carlo body had a very cool new paint scheme. Jason ran first in his Firebird Funny Car, but lost traction at the 60ft mark, and idled the rest of the track. Randy pedaled the car after a similar loss in traction and ended up with a respectable pass. The final run of the first segment was the Jet Car showdown, featuring Brad Janishewski in his "Rollin Thunder" Jet Civic, and Bruce Andrew in his "Northern Effects" Jet Dragster. The fire show went fine, but Bruce's chutes deployed during staging procedure, he was unable to make the run. Brad was given a single, posting a 7.09 at over 200 miles per hour. The sportsman cars made it through their quarter-final round, but it began raining just as the Pro Nostalgia cars came up to the line. The cars were pulled off the track as it started to sprinkle. The skies cleared for a few minutes after that. During this time, Kevin Therres brought out his new 2007 Jet Corvette, along with Brad Janishewski, to do a fire show. Both cars looked spectacular, and smoked out a few spectators up in the skybox.

A very nice Fuel Altered
Bucky's Fuel flopper was the quickest at on the weekend, with a 6.13 @ only 171 would have been a 5.8. He went 198 to half track, possibly the quickest and fastest first half ever for a nostalgia flopper.
Shawn Cowie ripped off a great 5.32 @ 270 in only his fourth full lap

Nice Wheelie by this Austin
