10.1.06 :: It's been one interesting postponed weekend in Maple Grove PA for the Toya Tire Nationals. The weather wasn't the best for racing, cold and drizzling. Because only 13 Top Alcohol Dragsters returned for this weekend and the weather was so bad, the Dragsters only got one shot at qualifying. Arthur qualified in the number 2 position with a 5.41 @260.41. The car was not running up to par so lots of parts got changed after qualifying. First round the car still wasn't running the way it should have, it ran a 5.52 @ 262.28. So more parts were changed to see if they could find the problem. Second round was a chance to see if the new parts works as Arthur got a bye round, because only 13 cars showed. Final round Arthur ran a losing 5.38 @ 270.37 to a 5.35  @ 261.67. A runner up win going onto the next race Oct 6 through the 8th in Richmond Virginia, for the Torco Racing Fuel Nationals.

6.2.06:: Yesterday 13 year old Alison Stewart, from New Jersey, won the National Spelling Bee contest. Spelling "ursprache" correctly, won her $42,000. That's more then NHRA pays for the World Champion in Top Alcohol Dragster. What's up with that......

 

 

 

5.28.06 :: Very interesting weekend. This was the first Lucas Oil Drag Racing Northeast Div 1 race of the season, held at Maple Grove Raceway, Reading PA. Arthur qualified number 1, with a 5.33 et at 271.19 mph, which was high for the event. Arthur is the defending Div champion and  went onto the final round, hoping for a win. After final round, NHRA told him he was the winner, because John Finke in the other lane had hit the centerline cone. Then NHRA changed their minds and said that John Finke had won the race, again they changed their minds and said Arthur won the race. Finally NHRA changed their minds again and said John Finke had won the race and he's the one to get the Wally. What a rollercoaster  ride for the crew to go through. Next event will be the Carquest National, June 8-11, at Joliet ILL. This is two races in one, it also is the Jeg's All Star race. Which is the best of the best. Arthur is representing Div 1 in the All Star portion of the race. We would like to thank NGK Spark Plugs and Akerly  and Childs for their support

5.9.06 :: Good news bad news weekend. The good news was Arthur qualified #1 in Top Alcohol Dragster class with a 5.305 @ 266.32mph. First round he ran a 5.318 @ 269.08mph, which was low et for the round. The temperature in Atlanta was 85 degrees and the track temperature was a whopping 120 degrees. It was very impressive that an A/Fuel car can run that fast on 97% Nitro in that heat. Now for the bad news...It rained hard on Sunday morning and after the rain stopped the temperature dropped down to 65 degrees and the track temperature dropped 50 degrees. Second round the car slowed down to 5.70, losing the round. The next race for the team is Lucas Oil Series Division 1 race in Reading PA, on May 25th through May 28th. Arthur is the 2005 defending Div 1 Champion, hopefully the weather will be warm. We would like to thank NGK Spark Plugs and Akerly and Childs for all their support.

09.05.05 ::  The experiments to the car didn't work out this weekend, and Arthur lost first round to the very consistent car driven by Steve Torrance, tuned by Tom Conway. With Steve running a 5.241 @ 267.80mph to Arthur's deepstaged  5.417 @ 271.02mph. So it's on to the next race in Englishtown New Jersey.

 

09.02.05 ::  The team is in Indy at the 51st Mac Tools US Nationals. The biggest race of the year. Arthur qualified in the first session with a 5.52 @ 265 mph. The next few qualifying sessions are going to be experiments, again. Maybe he will hit on something good...There are 22 Alcohol cars, to qual for 16 positions, at the event, most are the best in the country.

 

08.27.05 ::  We have a WINNER..Arthur had a single in the final round after Rich Bourke's car died after the burnout and he ran his quickest run of the weekend, a 5.42 @ 259 mph..Wow, some good news after Arthur winning first round today. It means Arthur will be the Jeg's All-Star rep for Div 1. The All-Star race is a race within a race. The best of the best from each division compete in Chicago, next month. The team has headed off to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland for the 5th of 7 Div 1 races. This will be another experimental weekend. Arthur is again trying something new to see if it helps with the performance of the car

 

08.14.05 ::  We Have a RUNNER-UP..Arthur went up against the Tom Conway tunes A-fueler driven by Steve Torrance in the final round. Steve posted a  5.23 @ 265 mph, to Arthur's 5.47 @ 267 mph. All in all the car ran good all weekend, and the team is happy with the results.

08.12.05 :: The team has headed off to Brainerd Minnesota for this weekends Lucas Oil National event. After winning last weekend, the team is hopeful that the car will continue to perform as it did at Maple Grove. Lots of really good car will be at this weekends event, but the weather is looking good for the A-fuel cars to dominate.

 

08.06.05 :: We have a WINNER. Arthur and the team won the Div1 race at Maple Grove PA, with low et of the weekend a 5.382 @ 264 mph, against Dave DeAngelis who ran a 5.702 @ 223 mph. CONGRATULATION to the whole team on a great win....

 

07.03.05 :: The great news is Arthur qualified # 1, with a 5.429 @ 258.24 mph in Lebanon Valley, NY, Div 1 race this weekend. Looks like the car is back...Arthur made it to the final round, but was the runner up...

 

06.30.05 :: The team has headed off to Lebanon Valley this weekend for a Division 1 race. This is going to be another experimental weekend. Arthur has some new stuff he's going to be trying. They will be testing on Thursday, the day before qualifying starts. Hopefully the new stuff works and the weather cooperates for them. Div 1 has a high car count at the events, but only has two qualifying passes, where other divisions with lower car counts have three changes at qualifying....go figure

 

06.16.05 :: The team has headed off to Englishtown NJ for a National event. This weekend could turn into another test session, as Arthur is making more changes to the car. He wasn't satisfied with the performance of the car last weekend in Chicago, so more changes are in order to overcome the mandated 98% nitro rule put into effect this year by NHRA.Well it didn't turn out to be the weekend the team wanted. It's hard trying new things on the car and qualifying at the same time. Move on to the next race.

 

06.11.05 :: Good news/bad news....The good news is the car ran much better then it has been, in the last few races, even in the hot humid weather in Chicago. The bad news Arthur lost first round with a 5.63 @ 250.13 mph. This weekend was to re-group and get the car back on track, which seems to have happened. Then team will move on to Englishtown for the next race. Glad the car is running better.....

 

06.06.05 :: After re-evaluating the situation the team has decided to continue on with the racing season. They will be going to Chicago and onto Englishtown. It's been a tough season so far, the first few races chasing down an aerodynamic problem with the new body, the 98% Nitro rule, and then in Maple Grove having a "no power" problem. The guys have gone through the car and changed everything. Arthur former high school cheerleader, oh no that's someone else, thinks he has fixed the problems and hopefully the car will run good in Chicago and Englishtown

 

05.29.05 ::   THE CAR IS PARKED....After a terrible weekend at Maple Grove PA, Arthur has decided to park the car. Several factors entered into this decision, most of all being the 98% fuel rule that NHRA mandated this year, the weather will only be getting hotter and the car just can't run under those conditions...

 

 05.15.05 ::   It's been a tough season so far...with lots of rain and now hot humid weather. The team went to Atlanta this weekend, but the hot weather sure does effect the A fuel cars trying to run on 98% Nitro. Arthur was the lowest qualifying Afuel car with only a 5.70 in ninth place. NHRA really needs to re-evaluate their decision to drop the Nitro percentage...

 

 

02.26.05 ::  The team headed off to the first race of the season to Gainesville Florida for a Division two event. Very exciting results from the first pass of the year. Arthur's A-fuel car is the first to run in the 20's under the new 98% Nitro rule. He ran a 5.28 @ 265.72 MPH.

The weekend ended as a wash out, with all the rain in Florida. The race will resume March 26, 2005

 

01.02.05 :: With  the newly mandated NHRA 98% nitro percentage rule, 2005 will be a challenging year. A-fuel teams will be, essentially, starting over to figure out new tune ups for the various track and weather conditions. Click here for more info.
