The PSCA September Event Date & Venue Changed......
The PSCA September Event
Date & Venue Changed.......The PSCA will not be running at Fontana the
weekend of Sept 10-12, 2010. The Accufab West Coast Shootout Presented
by RC Construction Services will be moved to the Strip at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway on the weekend of September 17-19, 2010. There will be a
Test n Tune on
Friday from 5-9pm... The full event schedule will be posted later on
this evening.

The PSCA would like to thank Chris Blair at LVMS for
stepping up and adding this date to their busy 2010 schedule.. Adding an
event this late in the season is no easy task as very few dates are
available for series that needs an entire weekend... Auto Club Dragway
in Fontana has been battling a noise issue with the community and has a
crucial hearing on Sept 14th and the legal team did not want to throw up
any more red flags (the excessive noise from our cars) days before the
hearing... We want to
race at Fontana for years to come, so if one race has to get affected to
insure the PSCA racing in the future at Auto Club Dragway we're willing
to take that chance.. If all goes well, our Nov 5-7 World Finals will be
run as scheduled... The PSCA apologizes to all the racers and teams that
are affected with this change... Hopefully everyone will realize we did
not have an option and done the best we could under the
unforeseen circumstances..
Thanks for supporting the PSCA now and in the future!!

Jack Gottfried
Friends and laughter defined his life
Just follow the laughter. Whether it was Disneyland, drag racing,
classic cars, Maui, or spending time with friends and family, Jack
Gottfried loved to laugh. Always on the go, he spent his days racing
from event to event with a story, a joke, and a ready smile for any
occasion. "Back up the bus," he'd say meaning he wasn't finished yet
with whatever was happening, and then he continued talking -- full speed
ahead.
Retired from owning his construction company, Raja Engineering,
previously he worked in the grading business with his uncle, worked for
North American as a visual optics adjustor, and started out early
working in a bicycle shop, but what he was best at was making friends.
Another of Gottfried's favorite sayings was, " I'm here for you." You
could rely on him for anything. Although Gottfried was a fierce drag
racer, he was willing to help a competitor, like the time he lost in the
drag quarterfinals and was packing to head home. Another driver had a
blown tire and had to quit. Gottfried pulled his own front tire and rim
off and loaned it to the other racer. It was a perfect fit and the other
driver kept racing. "By the time we switched tires back and loaded
everything up, it was 3:30 am," said his long time friend Hank Oliver,
"but as Jack always said, "Drag racing is about people you meet with a
common interest who become your friends.""
Gottfried's generosity showed itself again in his sponsorship of the San
Juan Creek Park Tot Lot. Before Gottfried's beloved dog Honey died, he
and Honey could be seen cruising around town and playing fetch in his
neighborhood park. Once Honey passed on, Gottfried donated money to the
city of San Juan Capistrano to pay for the addition of playground
equipment for a kids' "tot lot" and a dog walk for dogs. He wanted it to
be an anonymous donation, but due to circumstances that wasn't possible.
Today in San Juan Creek Park there is a brass plaque commemorating Honey
and Gottfried's generous gift.
Gottfried didn't like to wait for things to happen. He got his nickname,
Action Jack, not because he was such a great drag racer, although he was
that, but because he loved "to be in the middle, creating both funny and
serious situations," said Oliver. That's exactly how he spent his last
days surrounded by scores of friends, cracking jokes, and sharing
laughs.
While at Mission Hospital his room seldom had less than 10-12 friends
and often it was standing room only. "We even had to rotate people out
so that others could come in to visit Jack," Renee McDowell, his
fiancee, said.
Jacob Herbert Gottfried passed away July 7, 2010. He was born in
Yonkers, NY in 1944 and moved to Norwalk, CA in 1952. He later attended
and graduated from Excelsior High School. He was a long time resident of
San Juan Capistrano and a parishioner at San Juan Mission. Gottfried's
mother, Carol, was one of the first women to sell cars in the LA area,
his father, Irving, was a dairyman for Knudsen Dairies. From his
parents, he learned to get up early and get going.
One of the places he liked to go was Disneyland. Every year he bought
season passes and he and Renee would often go there weekly even if it
were just for dinner. One of his most prized possessions was his Mickey
Mouse watch. A story he loved to tell over and over was about the first
time he took Renee's grandson Jakey to Disneyland and the joy he got
watching Jakey's face. "Jack was like a kid himself when it came to the
rides. He sure loved Disneyland," his friend Dave Schaub said.
If it wasn't race season, Gottfried could be seen just about any weekend
driving one of his classic cars. He made several cross-country trips in
his 1932 Ford Roadster and almost never missed a hot rod car show or
swap meet. Locally he was instrumental in forming the Saddleback Knights
car club.
Maui was another of his loves. He vacationed there with Renee every
chance he got, and never missed going there the first two weeks of May
to celebrate both their birthdays. Hawaiian shirts, shorts and
flip-flops ruled the days and nights, and his laughter bounded around
the island.
His friends are full of stories and "Jackisms." "Back up the bus," when
he wasn't finished with something; "I'm not feeling the love," when the
teasing got out of control; "Okay, what's happening," just about any
time and anyplace when he was ready to get moving again.
Back up the Bus, Jack. You are going to be missed.
In addition to his fiancee, Renee Mc Dowell, Gottfried is survived by
his brother, John Gottfried; his sisters Yvonne Gottfried and Olga
Smith; his loving cousins, nieces and nephews; and a multitude of
friends.

Mustang's in the NMRA (National Mustang Racers Association) competing in

BISA Insurance saves the day, and just
maybe the season....

After the 50th Anniversary NHRA Winternationals was
over in Pomona, two PSCA Outlaw 10.5 racers who also run in NHRA's
Competition Eliminator
had
thoughts of a lost racing season after Ron Weems & Gary Ross both had
top-end crashes at the Fair Plex. Weem's Car was completely totaled
while Ross had major damage!!
Luckily for both driver's they had contacted Bill
Flake of BISA Insurance Services and purchased "Race Car" Insurance!!
After a $2,500.00 deductible Gary received a check for $31,500.00 to
completely repair his tore up 2005 Grand-Am. Look for Gary's return at
the May Fontana event... Ron used his check from BISA to Purchase Frank
Tamez '07 Bickle GTO and did not miss a PSCA race!!! BISA also pays PSCA
Contingency Cash on their "Race Car" Insurance Services in Pro Street &
Outlaw 10.5

Holder Going Take A Break From
Heads-Up Racing????
It
appears that the current MagnaFuel XDR Champion Roger Holder Jr. will be
taking some time away from heads-up racing and concentrate on his new
racing venture, an IMCA dirt car. Roger's PSCA / XDR car (pictured
below) has been the center of quite a bit of internet controversy and
that might be part of the reason if Roger does indeed step away.. Holder
has not missed a PSCA race in over 6 years, which is one of the longest
consecutive event streaks currently in the PSCA. All of us at the
Pacific Street Car Association wish Roger and his entire Holder
Motorsports Team the best of luck at the dirt tracks and hopefully we
will see him again soon battling for more wins and championships at the
drags!!!

PSCA Outlaw Racer
Gets Ink On K&N Filters Website...
"Sonny
Leonard developed a Chrysler hemi type head and adapted it to a
Chevrolet," said Ross. "Our 2005 Pro Stock Grand Am with its new Sonny's
711 cubic inch Chevy Hemi engine gives us 1600 to 1700 horsepower for an
additional 100 to 200 horsepower difference over our previous power
plant."
Ross is a contender in the Outlaw Class after his win at
the PSCA Labor Day Nationals. The Orange County California resident then
set the pace with another number one qualifier at a heated West Coast
Shootout in Fontana, California. Ross had a blistering 6.874 at 200.92
mph.
"Track
conditions were tough at Fontana," said Ross. "Track temperatures
reached a sizzling 135 degrees and the competition was fierce. Almost
all of the racers who competed at this event ran at over 200 mph."

Calvert Racing's NEW
HD
Spring Perch....
Check
out Calvert Racing's HD spring perch. This new perch design will
replace the big and bulky GM multi and mono perches, also replacing
the Chrysler / Mopar, Ford, and universal perches. The benefits of
the HD's reinforced design are. The perch extends up to the center
of the axle for improved contact surface area. The tab's that are
designed into the perch will allow for more weld penetration on both
the axle tube and the perch. The integrated gussets add necessary
strength to the perch, this will eliminate the chance of the perch
collapsing or bending on the axle tube. The Calvert Racing perch is
designed for your daily driver to your 7-second racecars. This new
design is just another reason why Calvert Racing has become the
leader in leaf spring innovation. The Calvert Racing HD spring perch
is hands down the best perch on the market.

Year-Old Meaghan Henderson Becomes PSCA's Youngest Event Winner...
For
the past several years when Don & Bunny Henderson rolled into Las
Vegas Motor Speedway for the Annual Labor Day race that ran PSCA
cars at night and Jr's during the day. Winning the Jr Dragster class
that daughter Meaghan competed in was always one of their dreams..
But this time was a little different, yes the she still ran the Jr.
during the day, but at night she rolled out the Vogue Marine Center
Boat & RV Storage 7-sec Dragster powered by a Fauset Racing Engine
to compete in the Calvert Racing Bracket-1 class!!!
After 2 long hot days of racing, Sunday night
PSCA Eliminations was a refreshing break as the temps dropped to a
comfortable level. In round one, Meaghan lost to LVMS regular Scott
Horsley in his familiar '55 Chevy in a double breakout. Lucky for the
young Henderson, the PSCA has 1st round loser buybacks, so
for a mere $20 Meaghan was back in the game. It was now around 9pm and
the Henderson family has been racing since 8am but you couldn't tell as
they started to find their grove and march through the competitors. 2nd
round victim was a past PSCA event winner Andy Pressimore, 3rd
round she beat Ken Spears and ran an almost perfect pass (5.20 light and
7.729 on a 7.72 dial) Round 4 she beat a past PSCA Bracket-1 winner Josh
Edwards with a 7.713 on a 7.71 dial and forced Edwards to break out by
7-thousandths. The Semi-Finals was Meaghan's easiest run as Robert
Broguiere had starting line issues and the car simply did not move..>Read

PSCA's Very Own Dave Murray And "Team
Coppertop" Gets Big Win In Sac Town...
SACRAMENTO,
CA - After PSCA Event Director, Dave Murray, found out about a "West
Coast Grudge Racer" event that was intended for nitrous cars that only
could use a single nitrous plate "Plate Race" on the Yellow Bullet
racer forum, he knew that his 1989 Mustang that was raced in PSCA True
Street would be a perfect fit. Working feverously for several weeks
with a lot of help from fellow Coppertop Racing team mate Scott
Schwinning, Dave was able to complete the rebuild of his Hot Rod with
literally a few hours to spare (maybe a few minutes would be closer to
the truth)
Dave, wife Christina, Baby David & Scott
Schwinning arrived at Sacramento Raceway Park on Friday night with no
test hits on the Stang, but the team was confident.. On the first time
trial run, the Small Block Ford laid down a stout 5.50 1/8 mile blast
and the team was ready for the Saturday night shootout!!!
After reading the message forum early that
morning,
Dave wasn't sure how many cars were going to be entered in his class.
it appeared at least 8 cars will be
running for the winner take all purse ($300.00 to enter) The "Plate
Race" After a Saturday evening qualifying pass there were 7 cars still
running to make elimination's. All the driver's names were placed in a
hat and a elimination ladder was set.. Dave had a bye (Odd number of
cars) Other notable's left after the first round were 3-time PSCA True
Street Champion George Raygoza, PSCA Hot Street racer Michael Valentio
and Billy Alston.. And that would match-up Valentio &
Alston
in one semi and Murray & Ryagoza in the other.. Michael in the Hot
Street Camaro powered by a small block Ford would make his quickest
pass of the night to put
Billy
on the trailer and that would leave Dave & George to battle for the
other final round spot.. Murray left the line and it was no doubt the
Mustang was headed for the money round against the quickest car on the
property (Valentio)
The best was yet to come as both Dave &
Michael had a long trash talking session between rounds... When both
drivers staged up and the lights went down, the crews & fans got to
witness both cars carry the front wheels hundreds of feet with
Valentio having to lift first as his car would not come back down to
earth and Murray darted off for the big win!!!!
Northern California has been a very
prosperous place for CopperTop to race, a few years back he beat the
internet famous Dave Bowman in a 10.5 event in Redding, CA.
Dave would like to thank the following
companies that made his trip to the winner's circle a reality: PSCA
Racing www.pscaracing.com

Sikora
Impresses Them At The Super Bowl....
JOLIET,
IL - 3-Time PSCA Outlaw 10.5 Champion Doug Sikora and his Sikora Racing
2000 ProCharged Mustang attended the NMRA/NMCA
SuperBowl in Chicago this past weekend and came 0.015 from a perfect
weekend (Well almost perfect)
Before Doug, Jason & Brian began the 2000
mile trek to Illinois, just being competitive was the main goal... That
quickly changed after the 1st round of qualifying was in the books as
Sikora blasted a blistering 6.71 and took the provisional #1
spot. During the mandatory NMRA "Fuel Check" Sikora quickly learned that
the fuel he had been using (Q-16) was not allowed by the association and
that run was disallowed. Many of his fellow
Pro Outlaw 10.5 competitors heard or watched the pass and Doug's pit was
busy with congratulations and idea's on how to rid the fuel system of
the Q-16 oxygenated composites so it would be able to pass the fuel
check using the replacement fuel (C-16) The Sikora Racing Team worked
until 4am removing all the fuel related parts & pieces to decontaminate
them using the exhaust gasses from their generator and rental car,
that's right the rental cars exhaust pipe was plumbed into the fuel cell
and run for hours using the carbon monoxide gasses.. After flushing the
system out with fresh C-16 (Thanks to Rob Golobo & AJ Powell) and
several re-tuning tips by some of the world's best fuel injection minds
that were in attendance, Doug was ready....Tired, but ready
With the 2nd round of qualifying canceled
due to the facility curfew and cold track conditions (That's right,
unseasonably cool mid to low 50's once the sun went down) One round was
all that was left for Sikora to make the show... No one knew what to
expect since the car has never run on anything but Q-16. As the Mustang
left the starting line everyone knew it was "on a pass"!! But when the
6.69 flashed on the scoreboard, Sikora's crew was kinda in disbelief as
Doug recorded his quickest pass to date and now had a chance to own a
coveted NMRA record as well... And one more thing, that put him back at
the #1 qualified position!
"The track is one of the best around"
said an excited Sikora. "Plus we have
never experienced this good of
atmospheric conditions" Sikora went on to say. Now it
was time to get ready for elimination's as this event featured round 1
directly after qualifying on Sat evening. Sikora had a bye and preceded
to run even quicker (6.68) to move to the semi's against the series
points leader Mike Murrillo.
Sunday's elimination's brought new challenges as the 3
remaining contenders all were Champion's (Mike Murillo, Conrad Scarry &
Dan Millen) and with boosted big horsepower combination's that could
easily run 6.60's or better, Sikora had to be on his game. In the Semi's
against Murrillo, Mike left the starting line first but had problems
down track and Sikora had a slower ET than the day before (6.725) but
that was good enough for lane choice in the finals as Millen posted a
6.726 to defeat Conrad Scarry.
The final round was going to be "one for the ages" and
everyone knew it!! Both cars were running very consistent and the
driver's had a little added pressure since the cars were so evenly
matched, it might come down to the dreaded reaction times? As the cars
staged it seemed like many of the race teams came from the pits to
witness this epic "East Vs. West" battle. When the tree dropped, Sikora
took what looked like a instrumental starting line advantage (.423 to
.449) Doug was also quicker to the 1/8th, but couldn't hold off the big
turbo charged horsepower of Millen, and was passed right at the finish
line. Millen's 6.727 beat Sikora's 6.768 by 0.015
This weekend's performances by
Sikora gives him a little extra confidence going into the big Street Car
Super Nationals this Nov 19-22 in Las Vegas as many of the teams that
competed in Joliet will be making the trip out west to compete at
"America's Greatest Drag Strip" Las Vegas Motor Speedway. "Not sure if
we can run in the 60's at the Vegas altitude" claimed Sikora "But we are
sure gonna try"
Doug would like to thank Charlie Harmon and Steve
Wolcott of the NMRA/NMCA for all the hospitality, the entire Route 66
track crew on near perfect track conditions all weekend, all the NMRA/NMCA
racers and crew members that welcomed us as if we were family, my Sikora
Racing Team (Jason, Brian, Bob, Roger & Mel) for all the long hours,
couldn't have done it without you guys!! And all my sponsors that came

Walker extends PSCA Pro Street points
lead with win, career best performance in Vegas...
PALM
DESERT, CA - The only match for the searing hot temperatures at The
Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway June 19-20 was the Pacific Street
Car Association's hottest Pro Street driver, Randy Walker.
As he's already done several times this
season, Walker used a series of blistering mid 6.30 passes and
double-oh reaction times to lay claim to the PSCA MagnaFuel Summer
Nationals Pro Street crown under the lights in Vegas.
After struggling with ring & pinion and
clutch issues during qualifying, Walker and his flat-black '74 El
Camino ended up in the fourth qualifying position with a solid 6.460,
217.74 MPH effort. "The car has been running so well lately that the
problems we were running into in qualifying really caught us off
guard," Walker said. "Luckily we were able to still land somewhere up
near the top of the field, and I had complete faith in our team to get
the problems sorted out before eliminations.">Read

event to be held at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois. This will be
the first time since 1996 that the California based ProCharged Mustang

is at an all time high "We finally think we have a car and combo that
can compete on the national level, and this race should have the best of

Meadors
Speeds to Semi Finals in Sacramento
SACRAMENTO,
CA -
It was a scorcher in
Sacramento last
weekend for freshman Pro Mod racer Marc Meadors and the Goodguys Racing
'69 Camaro. Making his return to competition with the West Coast Outlaw
Pro Mod Association, Meadors and the Goodguys Racing crew were looking
for their second win of the season at the 33rd annual Nitro
Night of Fire and had to roll the dice to do it.
After making a
motor-wounding 6.37 @ 223 test run Friday, the team missed Friday's
opening round of qualifying leaving them with a one-shot,
qualify-or-go-home run on Saturday afternoon in 107 degree heat! The
silver Camaro streaked to a 6.354 @ 227.9 to grab the 3rd position in
the 8-car program.

Back to the Future with George Klass
IRVINE,
CA - One neat thing about drag racing is that it is
very easy to describe to folks that know nothing about it.
"It's an acceleration contest in a straight line, between two cars, to
see who can get to the finish line first."
I was having a discussion the other day with Carl Olson, the SFI
Motorsports Manager. Carl was a drag racer in his younger days, drove a
Top Fuel dragster for many years when dragsters had the engines in front
of the drivers (I lost interest in dragsters and Indy cars when they
stuck the engines behind the drivers, but I digress). Carl won plenty of
drag races including Top Eliminator at the final race held at Lions Drag
Strip.

Carpenter Tunes Walker to 2nd
Consecutive win!!
FONTANA,
CA - Pro Mod racer Charles Carpenter has made a
huge impression on the West Coast Pro Street crowd by tuning Palm
Desert, Calif., racer Randy Walker to consecutive wins and now the
points lead in PSCA's Pro Street class.
Walker's 1974 El Camino used the last qualifying session on
Saturday of the Probe Industries California Nationals to leap past Clint
Hairston and Tim Henry with an impressive 6.376/219.72 blast down the
very hot Auto Club Dragway (Fontana, Calif.) surface to take the pole
going into Sunday's eliminations.
With bracket car consistency, Randy and the Walker Autoworks team
put together runs of 6.399, 6.382 and 6.394 to earn their way to the
final round against a fellow nitrous competitor, Kelly Bluebaugh. The
final round was as good as it gets when Walker left the starting line
first and beat the quicker Bluebaugh 6.474 to 6.461. We'll have complete
results later in the week.
The Walker Autoworks crew will look to increase their points leads
at the next PSCA event "MagnaFuel" Summer Nationals to be held June
19-20 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. |

Meadors Runs Career Best In Sacramento!!!
SACRAMENTO,
CA - The Goodguys Racing, Red Line Oil and
Comp Cams-sponsored '69 Camaro Pro Mod coupe driven by Marc Meadors of
Danville, CA was back on track this past weekend going for glory at the
annual Funny Car Fever event at Sacramento Raceway Park.
The Goodguys Racing Team was on hand to compete in the special 8-car
exhibition field promoted by the popular West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod
Association. Coming off his first-ever career Pro Mod win at last
month's Super Chevy Sunday event in Fontana, California, Meadors again
raised eyebrows as he and the team were able to qualify for the
eliminator field in the #6 spot with a conservative 7.009 @ 185.31 on
the tricky track surface.
But the real fireworks came in Saturday's opening round of eliminations.
Stuck in the track's infamous left lane (a historically treacherous
racing surface with a tricky bump about half way down) Meadors charged
straight downtrack to record a career-best run, clicking off a 6.429 @
218.04 mph. Despite the heroic effort, Meadors came up just inches short
of defeating his fellow competitor Jay Diedrich who ran a 6.443 at a
slightly faster 222.56mph. Ignoring the narrow loss, the magnitude of
Meadors' run in the track's bad lane was not lost on the event
organizer's who called it "perhaps the run of the day."
While it's never easy leaving eliminations early, the Goodguys Racing
Team is now supremely confident they can compete with the West Coast's
fastest Pro Mods under any conditions at any track. "I'm really proud of
this team," said a smiling Marc Meadors in the pits after the event.
Jason Bunker, Jeff Accacian, Andy Ferreira and "Six Pound" Billy Fereira
are some of the best in this business. These cars are monsters.
Harnessing their brute strength and finessing them down tricky track
surfaces is not easy. We will be a handful at the next event.
Next up for the Goodguys Racing team is the PSCA California Nationals
May 15-16-17 in Fontana. For a look at the team, including photos, team
news and more, visit

"Nuke"
Shatters The PSCA Outlaw 10.5 MPH Record!!!
 LAS
VEGAS, NV -
One year ago at the 2008 PSCA Las
Vegas Nationals, Greg "Nuke" Seth-Hunter (Nickname "Nuke" was given by
friends after Greg continuously melted down several engines) of Simi
Valley California was testing his awesome '70 Nova and something
terribly went wrong. Greg crashed going thru the traps and nearly
totaled out the Outlaw car. Well, One year after that very forgettable
date, Seth-Hunter notched his 1st ever PSCA victory and
shattered the MPH record in the process!!! Not only did Greg win the
event, he set personal bests in ET & MPH (6.972/209.10) The 209.10
is the PSCA New Accufab Outlaw 10.5 MPH Record... Seth-Hunter now has a
share of the PSCA Outlaw 10.5 points lead and will do what it takes to
win the Championship!! Probe Industries "California Nationals" May 15-17
at Fontana, CA. will be the next PSCA event.
