NMRA/NMCA Fontana 2011 Same Day Coverage

For the first time ever, the NMRA and NMCA roll into Auto Club Dragway in Fontana California for their west coast event.  While there won’t be many NMRA and NMCA east coast racers at this event, and it’s being ran under mainly PSCA rules, we look forward to a good race on this warm weekend.  Stay tuned to Street Legal TV and Stang TV all weekend for coverage from Fontana.

Special thanks to our event coverage sponsor SCT Performance, check out their fine line of tuning devices at www.sctflash.com.

During the Ford Racing Mustang Madness, Cal Gordon from Hesperia, California had a near perfect RT(.007) in his '86 Mustang. He would run a 11.245 at 119.91mph

Tim Schmackpfeffer would have problems getting the 91 mustang to fire, and would have to be pushed off the starting line. After the crew went to work he would go on to set the low ET in the Ford Racing Mustang Madness with a 8.788 at 154.44 MPH

During Wild Street qualification Ryan Jones with his beautiful '65 Nova woud lay down an impressive burnout, however he would encounter problems on his run and only muster a 16.884 at 44 MPH.

In Round one qualifying for the Mickey Thompson Extreme Drag Radial class, Sandi Wold would run a blistering 7.918 at 184.77 MPH

It took Daniel Bott II three rounds of qualifying, but he set the quickest time in the Centerforce Hot Street qualifying with a 8.394 at 161.85 mph. The team told us they kept spinning the rear wheels during the first three rounds. They finally decided to do something drastic and pulled fifteen degrees of timing out of the '98 mustang.

Bobby Frye would post a 8.498 at 146mph in his '00 Camaro. This would only be good enough for third in the Mikey Thompson Extreme Drag Radial.
