MAY 5th, 2009 STREET CAR SHOOTOUT SERIES FINAL ROUND

W Orson Johnson House Springs, MO 99 281 Mustang 0.160 8.268 172.39
RU Tim Mallicoat Collinsville, IL 68 565 Camaro 0.128 8.632 156.97


Forty-eight hours after virtually every professional track record was shattered during the 13th annual NHRA O’Reilly Midwest Nationals, Orson “O.J.“ Johnson and his Lo Pro Race Cars turbocharged ‘99 Mustang made history of his own by scoring his first victory in the Street Car Shootout Series at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois. Not only was Johnson’s win the first for a FoMoCo-powered entry since Steven Gentry’s ‘65 Mercury Comet won the title on September 4th, 2007, it was the first time a 281-cubic inch Ford “modular motor” had earned an SCSS trophy. Johnson and crewchief Paul Schoelich amazed fans and opponents with a final-round performance which came within thirteen thousands of a second from the quickest elapsed time in SCSS history!

Johnson’s pass was only one of several historic efforts during the evening. Fans watched in amazement as Chicago drag racing legend Spiro Pappas unleashed the quickest quarter-mile run on 10.5W tires ever recorded in drag racing with an early shut-off shot of 6.32 seconds at a speed of only 193.18 miles per hour! Pappas’ turbocharged bigblock Chevy-powered 2009 Pontiac GXP reset the GIR eighth-mile track record for Outlaw 10.5 cars on the blast at 4.08/182.03, as well. Pappas’ quarter-mile effort destroyed the 6.42-second record set by Tim Lynch’s ProLine Racing Engines Mustang recorded only four days earlier at Atlanta (GA) Dragway.

"We really have to hand it to the Gateway starting line crew for their track prep", said an ecstatic Don Bailey of DCB Enterprises who tunes the Pappas Pontiac, "The surface was simply incredible and held everything we could throw at it". Likewise, Billy Glidden’s Mickey Thompson Tires Pontiac GTO spent the day testing at Gateway and clocked a career-best quarter-mile of 6.45/214.25 with his single four-barrel carbureted smallblock Ford powerplant. Said Glidden, “The track was the same as it always is here…awesome!”.

In fact, professional testing took place at GIR on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. While many fans think the track surface was already in pristine condition because of the NHRA National Event which took place the previous weekend, few realize that, on Monday morning after the event, the track is scraped of all rubber and reprepared by the GIR track crew because the racing surface is simply beaten to death from the weekend’s competition. Of more than a dozen Pro Stock and Pro Modified competitors who tested, most ran quicker and faster during the test session than they had during the NHRA event…in worse atmospheric conditions!

A massive field of more than two hundred entries packed GIR for the fifth 2009 SCSS event and produced the quickest “bump spot” of the season for the Super Sixteen field since the qualifying format has been revised. Several regulars failed to make the cut during what quickly became a long night of competition with one major oildown and another delay when a racer tested GIR’s new $140,000 sandtrap and safety net system. The race included the season’s first corrected elevation above sea level with an encroaching rain front holding the corrected altitude to a best of 999 feet.

The quickest run in early timed trials came from the black 2001 Camaro of Jackson, Missouri’s Van Burgess whose Burgess Performance Chevy clocked an early shut-off 10.46 at only 104.94 mph with a strong 6.45/109.38 eighth-mile. Once qualifying began, the biggest surprise came from past SCSS finalist Tim Kirkpatrick. The Missourian’s familiar green ’88 smallblock Mustang underwent substantial chassis reconfiguration during the winter and opened its 2009 season with a career-best 9.37/148.12 to temporarily qualify on the pole. Ray Arthur’s well-known “Suspicion” ’67 Camaro overtook Kirkpatrick with a solid 9.14/147.52 but it was the winningest SCSS driver ever, Tim “Moose” Mallicoat in his naturally-aspirated 565-inch “Hellraiser“ ‘68 Camaro, who raised the bar late in qualifying with a brutal 1.25-second sixty-feet elapsed time, a 5.51/126.26 eighth-mile clocking and a strong 8.615/157.95 to lead the field with the season‘s quickest run.

It seemed like it would be another night of dominance by Mallicoat until only fifteen minutes before qualifying concluded when “O.J.” Johnson pulled into the water box with the red Mustang convertible which, during the April 15th event, had pounded out an incredible 8.66 at an 168.05 mph before losing a semi-final battle to Mallicoat when the Ford launched into a towering wheelstand. The National Mustang Racing Association Drag Radial-legal mount launched with a 1.36-second “sixty”, covered the eighth-mile at 5.68 at a ****ping 131.57 mph and then began a top-end charge which ended with a “first” in SCSS racing. Johnson recorded an 8.615...identical to Mallicoat’s run to the thousandth of a second! However, NHRA rules dictate the better qualifying position is determined by top speed on the run. Mallicoat’s 157.95 clip was obliterated by Johnson’s astounding 169.17mph!

Not only was it the first time the top two qualifiers had recorded identical elapsed times, it was the first time a “modular motor” had claimed the pole in SCSS racing. In fact, the last time a Ford led the field was on August 28th, 2008, when Steven Gentry’s ‘65 Comet paced the Super Sixteen with the quickest Ford-powered SCSS run ever, an 8.30-second blast.

To open the semi-finals, Johnson and crewchief Paul Schoelich elected to make no adjustments to the Mustang in their match with Kirkpatrick’s Ford. Although the green flamed ’88 model gained a two-tenths of a second holeshot, Kirkpatrick ran into immediate mechanical difficulties and was never a factor. Johnson hit an improved 1.35-second “sixty” and blasted out a huge 5.47/136.06 eighth on his way to the team’s quickest effort ever, a fabulous 8.37 during which Johnson shut down just before the finish line slowing to only 161.00 mph. In the other half of the semi-finals, Mallicoat overpowered Arthur’s “Suspicion” Chevy, (which suffered a nitrous oxide malfunction early in the run), and cruised to an 8.63/157.96 win over Arthur’s 10.23/139.33.

Prior to the championship final round, Schoelich again decided to leave the Ford untouched. Remembering their loss to Mallicoat only three weeks earlier, it was a rare chance to simply outrun the two-time and defending SCSS champion. For Mallicoat, it would be the second time this season he would stage against “O.J.” knowing full well the Ford held a decided advantage but, as always, the “Moose” had consistency on his side. When the two staged for the first Ford-versus Chevy title bout since the final event of 2008, it was Mallicoat who gained a four-hundredths of a second holeshot and actually stretched that margin through the first sixty feet. At the 330-feet mark, however, the two machines were dead-even to the thousandth of a second. From there, the Ford pilot never looked back. A 5.41-second eighth-mile was a career-best. The thousand-feet ET of 6.96 seconds was only four hundredths from the quickest in SCSS history. When Johnson crossed the finish line 83.56 feet ahead of Mallicoat, the scoreboard relayed the second quickest and fastest effort in the five-year history of the series, an incredible 8.26 at a blazing 172.39 miles per hour! Mallicoat’s consistency never waivered with another 8.63/156.97 shot. For video of the final round battle courtesy of Holly Kirkpatrick, click HERE.

“I can’t believe we missed the record by only one hundredth!”, exclaimed an elated Johnson referring to “Woody” Woodruff’s still-unsurpassed 8.25-second pass of 2008. “That was the run we were looking for. It was just about perfect. It never spun the tires all night. It never missed a beat. It was perfect! Folks need to remember this is a stock displacement 281-cubic inch engine with a stock block and stock heads. It‘s the real deal”. For Schoelich, whose Lo Pro Race Cars emporium built the red ragtop, it was a matter of making the correct decisions. “We never touched it tonight”, said the past SCSS finalist as rain began to fall on the winner‘s circle ceremonies in front of the main grandstand, “but we changed a lot since the April 15th event. We’ve got it manageable and now we can really start applying power. We plan to go to the next NMRA event in Atco, New Jersey, in a few weeks and I think we’ll have something to throw at the Drag Radial ‘big boys’ now!”.

Mallicoat took his first loss of the season is stride. “Those boys got that car down the track three times so I have to hand it to ‘em”, said the “Moose”. I was banking on them not being able to do that but I still had to make sure I left first. That was my job and I got it done. I couldn’t have asked for more from my car. Heck, my eighth-miles only varied a few thousandths. I did what I could but it wasn’t quite enough this time”.








NOTES FROM THE SCSS: It was mentioned on April 21st that, in the first three completed SCSS events of the season, no less than thirty-nine different drivers have qualified for the Super Sixteen field. As of the May 5th race, a total of fifty different drivers have earned points in the season championship standings which is certainly a record after only four events…Van Burgess, whose 660Xtreme.com ‘01 347 Camaro ran a shut-off 10. 46 at only 104.94 mph in early timed trials, eventually qualified with another coasting run of 10.09/118.99 and an even stronger 6.37/109.61 eighth-mile…Curtis Paulfrey got a solid 10.05/135.43 from his yellow Winner’s Circle Tire & Auto ‘68 Camaro before he had to leave for work; he qualified sixth and moved into the third spot in the season championship point standings…Greg “Hook-n-Ladder” Boschert produced a 10.87/127.62 from his well-known white ‘66 Mustang coupe, one of his best runs in ages, on eight-inch-wide D.O.T. tires...The list of qualifiers from Dustin Kurz’s Winfield, Missouri-based MD Performance got longer when Ricky Anthony put his 302-powered ’88 Mustang in the field with a best-ever 11.41/113.41...Andrew Lincoln was another of the five Ford qualifiers with a career-best run after an 11.48/117.55 from his ’85 347 Mustang…Vince Heuer’s canary yellow bigblock ’68 Stingray made the field with a shut-off 11.69 at only 92.71 mph but managed an 11.61/111.53 in late timed trials. There’s plenty more left in the car, however, as the ’Vette clocked repeated 1.4-second sixty-feet ETs…The next quickest Corvette was first alternate Mark Yehling’s white ’97 version at 12.02/114.23 but there were no less than fourteen ’Vettes in competition…Ageless Larry Dixon, who competed in the original Wednesday night Pro Street Eliminator program almost thirty years ago at the old St. Louis International Raceway, (then driving an eleven-second turbocharged right-hand-drive U.S. Postal Service Jeep!), qualified for the field in his ‘78 Nova with an 11.82/117.31 best…“O.J.” Johnson became only the second member of the SCSS 170 MPH Club with his final-round blast but is now the quickest and fastest Ford driver in series history. Amazingly, his 8.61 qualifying run was his first pass under nine seconds recorded during an official qualifying period or elimination round, making him the twelfth member of the 8-Second Club…Mark Branham’s ’72 Nova made the Super Sixteen for the first time with an 11.83 at only 97.58 mph but improved slightly to an 11.76/102.26 in late timed trials…Tommy Duelker had never drag raced before but he drove his ’98 Camaro to the track, entered High School Eliminator and won the whole darned thing! After three rounds of win lights which included a victory over Aaron Worstell’s multiple event-winning ’89 Mustang, the Ballwin, Missouri, kid stopped Ashleigh Tepen’s Jerseyville, Illinois, ’95 Camaro in a heads-up final round.

SPECIAL NOTE: It was no secret the huge turnout, two major ontrack delays and several instances of miscommunication among the Gateway staff made for a huge mess in the staging lanes during the May 5th event. While competitors unfamiliar with the new combined format and drivers who used the wrong staging lanes were a small part of the problem, Gateway Drag Racing Manager Rich Schaefer has made it known that steps will be taken to ensure the situation will not be repeated. A crew meeting was held after the event in which the problems were identified and solutions were defined. The GIR staff is aware of the inconvenience experienced by many racers and apologizes for the delays. All necessary changes will be made to avoid the same scenario in the future.

MAY 5th, 2009 STLSR.COM SPORT TUNER SHOWDOWN FINAL ROUND


Pos Name Hometown ST Vehicle R.T. ET MPH

W Brian Orsborn Granite City IL 04 122 Neon 0.355 11.933 123.61
RU Dan Harris St. Louis MO 04 232 Mustang 0.063 12.280 108.47


It’s official; Brian Orsborn is back with a vengeance. Racing only sporadically since his domination of the 2006 season, the pilot of the red Dodge Neon SRT-4 which earned the season‘s first victory in the St. Louis Street Racing.com Sport Tuner Showdown made it two out of three in a showdown with the year‘s only other Sport Tuner winner, past Gateway International Raceway High School Eliminator season champion Dan “Iceman” Harris.

Orsborn’s turbocharged four-cylinder led qualifying with a 12.02/114.23 effort ahead of Harris’ unique 232-cubic inch “SixBangStang” at 12.25/108.62. The rest of the field included Craig Powell’s gun-metal grey turbocharged 231-inch V6 ’87 Buick Regal, (a best-ever 12.33/109.67), April 8th runner-up Jim Hoffman’s ‘93 Saturn SC-1, (13.74/102.28), and Chris Whitmore’s 122-inch Acura-powered ‘90 CRX, (13.89/103.28). Mention should be made of the attempt by April 21st runner-up John Kessler’s attempt to break into the thirteen-second zone with his bone-stock 2002 Maxima which fell just short at 14.01/99.77.

Orsborn actually made a second qualifying attempt which ended in the thirteen-second zone while Harris’ Rear-Wheel-Drive six-cylinder had clocked multiple 12.20s. With the final round pitting the season’s only two winners, the four-cylinder versus six-cylinder, FWD versus RWD, turbocharged versus nitrous oxide battle had more than a few interested fans. The trophy dash became even more interesting when Harris strapped a massive holeshot of more than a quarter-second on Orsborn. The Ford was ahead at every point on the track to the thousand-feet mark where the Mustang was outrunning the Neon by 21.93 feet. It was in the final 320 feet of the battle that the top end of the turbo Dodge reeled in the Ford and passed Harris to win by all of 10.13 feet in a tremendous 11.93/123.41 to 12.28/108.47 match.

“That was closer than it should’ve been”, said a relieved Orsborn during trophy presentations in front of the main grandstands. “I saw him all the way and was just hoping I’d hit the gears right and nip him. That’s all I did, too…I nipped him. The second qualifying run was wasted because I spun the tires and I was actually concerned about that in the final round. It hooked, though, and I need to thank Justin Bondurant from JMB Performance for helping get this thing back in the elevens because I needed every bit of it to win”.





MAY 5th, 2009 GATEWAYRACEWAY.COM SUPER TRUCK SHOWDOWN FINAL ROUND

Pos Name Hometown ST Vehicle R.T. ET MPH

W Pat McNeish Granite City IL 86 555 Silverado 0.068 9.809 138.98
RU John Brawley Granite City IL 93 355 S-10 0.394 10.602 125.12


When Pat McNeish debuted his new 555-cubic inch ‘86 Silverado on September 23rd, 2008, he took the truck straight to the winner’s circle. The owner of Performance Parts Plus in Granite City, Illinois, made two more final round appearances in the GatewayRaceway.com Super Truck Showdown before the end of the season and his first outing of 2009 proved, if nothing else, he’s stronger than ever.

Leading qualifying with a 9.87 at a career-best 138.07 mph, McNeish barely missed making the Top Four spots in the SCSS. His closest opponent, however, was returning John Brawley, who was back behind the wheel of the “S-10 Revenge” pickup taken to the April 21st title by owner Ray Arthur. The driver who won four titles in six final rounds in his 2008 rookie season was thrilled to be able to “spray” the 355-inch smallblock in Arthur’s ‘93 S-10 for the first time, dropping his personal bests from 11.41/117.30 to 10.67/125.37 on his very first pass!

The rest of the field included Jared Doyle’s fairly astonishing 2006 6.1L Hemi-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee which recorded an amazing 12.23/110.33, April 15th champion Matt Cox’s ‘93 S-10, (12.35/107.30), and past Super Truck finalist Matt Hamilton’s 2004 Ford Lightning, (12.97/105.73). It should be noted that the renowned orange ‘70 Chevy C-10 of Chris Calkins, the SCSS Diesel Truck Record Holder at 9.87/139.41, was in attendance but struggled with turbocharger boost problems throughout qualifying.

Ironically, McNeish and Brawley had never faced each other but the big Silverado was not to be denied in its 2009 debut. A three-tenths of a second holeshot and a career-best 9.80/138.98 quickly handled Brawley’s best run yet, a 10.60/125.12. “I’m happier about my reaction times more than the way the track ran”, said a smiling McNeish with crewchief Jesse Byrd in the winner’s circle. “I’ve been using my practice Tree all winter and my RTs were pretty decent all night. As for the truck, we were trying a new fuel which was supposed to be worth a lot more than it seems to be but it’s nice to get a win right off the bat”. Brawley, with truck owner Arthur, explained his early season absence. “I had to wait until my new work schedule took effect before I could get out here. That’s why Ray drove the truck himself back on April 21st. Now, I’m off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so I’ll be here for sure. Using the nitrous was a whole new world. It definitely pulls a bunch harder and really sets you back in the seat off the line. I think it’ll be a whole lot more fun this year running in the tens. Maybe I can talk Ray into even tweaking it a bit harder!”.

And here I thought Craig said he ran a 12.07. Guess it was outside of the qualifying window. :frown:

Hopefully I will get the few trinkets I'm awaiting to put my car back together with the wideband and EGT probe and be out there on Tuesday...
 
Yea, I ran the 12.072 @ 111.56 at 10:53 pm. So, I missed the qualifying window. During most of that time I was stuck in the staging lanes. That is my 4th 12.0XX, so hopefully an 11 second pass is in the near future. I just need a little more tuning and some good launches. My 60' times were down last Tuesday due to the driver. I wasn't on my game for some reason.
