A Weekend in the Life of a Drag Racer

AJ Powell ProCharger Mustang

It is an exciting show when a racer can get his team and his car to the track and down the strip safely while winning races. But there is a lot more that goes into getting that car down the track than a splash of fuel in the pits, a check of the tire pressure, and getting in the groove on the starting line.

ProCharger supercharged racer AJ Powell was recently asked by StangTV to put together a blog about his experiences at a few races. Powell is currently in second place in the points race in the NMRA Super Street Outlaw class, trailing another ProCharger racer and 2007 champ John Urist by only 50 points! Powell is a great representation of the quality and character of racers that ProCharger works with and is an excellent candidate to help the public get a feel for what one of the top racers in the class goes through, from leaving his home at dawn for the 14 hour drive to the track to crossing the finish line in 7.4 seconds and at over 189 MPH.

Car Craft Street Machine of the Year

Shoneck Mustang

The Car Craft Street Machine of the Year competition is a three stage event that tests acceleration, braking, handling and rear wheel horsepower. This year at the Car Craft Summer Nationals, eight of the nations hottest street cars entered the 1982-present model year class. Dan Shoneck’s ProCharger supercharged and intercooled GT-500 Mustang put down a dyno number of 817 rwhp, a road course time of 26.2 seconds, and a 60-0 braking distance of only 117 feet, securing him the 1st place spot for the event. This not only established Schoneck’s car as the Car Craft Street Machine of the year, but also one of the baddest GT-500’s in the country! Look for a feature on his car in an upcoming issue of Car Craft magazine.

Dynomax Power to the Wheels

 

The DynoMax Power to the Wheels competition just finished its 12th stop and ProCharger powered cars have been laying down some outstanding numbers. After taking four of the top six spots in the 2007 competition, ProCharger supercharger owners are again setting big power numbers in 2008. Mark Gjavenis, a top 10 finisher in 2007, took 2nd place at the Car Craft Summer Nationals stop with 1,249 rwhp in his ‘65 Chevelle. And Jim Plimpton, 2008 Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags winner, took home 1st place honors on the Hot Rod Power Tour with 1,312 rwhp in his supercharged and intercooled ‘88 Thunderbird. But the power doesn’t stop there with Mike Roy putting down 1,202 rwhp at the Hot Rod Super Nationals stop in his small block ‘71 Monte Carlo with an F-2 ProCharger, taking first place at that event. That’s almost 4,000 ProCharged ponies that have hit the DynoMax dyno this year!

DynoMax still has three more stops to go on the tour and we are excited to see who is able to put the most power to the wheels!

ProCharger gives away $3,000 at Super Chevy Show

It was a weekend full of hot weather and hot cars at the Maple Grove Super Chevy event, July 18th-20th. ProCharger again brought the big rig to Pennsylvania to show off some of our meanest customer cars and to give away $3,000 in the ProCharger Bracket Challenge.

Several ProCharged customers showed up with their street machines for the car show and ended up making their way to the ProCharger display to show the onlookers how happy they are with their supercharged beasts. There were a few times at the ProCharger display area where it was actually a little difficult to walk around because there where so many ProCharged customer vehicles!

The action really got going on Saturday when we started the ProCharger Bracket Challenge, a bracket race only open to ProCharger equipped vehicles. The field ranged from a 7 second dragster to a GM truck that pulled a race trailer to the event! The action was great but the finals is where it really got interesting with a match up between Cory Seiverling in his Chevy crew cab street truck / tow rig and Paul Ferrucci in his eight second Malibu.  After running consistent 8.40’s all day Ferrucci ended up with the win, and proved the consistent predictable power of a ProCharger, when he ran an 8.391 quarter mile on an 8.390 dial-in! Seiverling took the runner-up prize of $1,000 and Ferrucci ended up with the $2,000 grand prize. Congratulations guys!

American Thunder TV is scheduled to air a ProCharged segment filmed at this year’s Myrtle Beach Bike Week.  Two ProCharger dealers and ProCharger’s own Sergio Shifman will be interviewed on the show.  ProCharger dealer Fat Baggers Inc. was installing our intercooled supercharger systems at the show, which created quite the buzz.  As soon as people found out you could ride in stock and ride home with 40-80 additional horsepower the FBI booth got pretty busy, and American Thunder was there to film the action.
