’71 Chevelle Wagon:

It has been since September 2019 since Chris’ wagon hit the strip. Last winter we installed new PacAloy valve springs and he is currently working on replacing his roller lifters with a new set of Isky Red-Zone Endurance lifters to extend the life of his 406 SBC engine. He will also need to re-certify his driver restraints, wants to replace his slicks and will need to purchase a new helmet for the 2022 season. He’s also working on getting some weight off the back of the car.

We’re looking forward to seeing the Wagon back out at the track!

Update March 15, 2022:

Chris has the new lifters in the motor, new 9310 4.86 gears in the rear, new & smaller/lighter fuel cell in the back and nearly ready for 2022!

His 4.71 rear gears had 300 runs on them since we set them up!

Update March 27, 2022:

Today Chris fired up the wagon and set the ignition timing, next stop the track.

’57 Chev:

If we decide to run the ’57 in 2022, I’ll need to re-certify the belts and inspect the left rear axle for spline twist after our runs in 2021. This fall we took both static and centrifugal pressure out of our Ram clutch. 

Update:

On January 30, 2022 Jamie Roth announced due to Covid requirements at the border, all B.C. Supershifters events were going to be held at Mission Raceway’s in 2022 which makes sense. Therefore I’ll be parking our ’57 for at least the 2022 season.

This pandemic has completely disrupted my plans for the ’57 along with other stick-shift teams in our area, and at my age, I no longer have the desire to spend the time and money to move forward. – Roger

’85 Mustang:

No upgrades scheduled at this time, in fact Paul may take the 2022 season off from driving his car and focus on more activities with his son, Isaak. 

’66 Pontiac:

No upgrades scheduled for Torri’s car at this time. – Roger

Hello Race Fans,

This past Saturday was the Bracket Kings Showdown presented by Fred Hoffman out at Pacific Raceways so Paul decided to give it a shot in supporting this race once again by taking his Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’85 Mustang out to the track.

We are not sure how many cars were able to attend this year but was expecting it to be a little better turnout even though our wonderful Canadian friends/racers were unfortunately not able to attend due to continued Covid restrictions.

Paul tried his hand in slowing the car down to run Sportsman since the payout the year prior was over $1700 to the winner of that class and it just wasn’t meant to be as he bowed out in the 1^st rd. against the 2021 Sportsman champ Larry DeCamp and then did the buy-back round and went red by .008 against Gary Gandee Jr so his day was over pretty quickly.

It was nice seeing all of our fellow friends/racers once again and huge congrats to all of the winners! – Paul Young

Hello Race Fans!

This past weekend we took the Handan Trailer Repair sponsored ’66 Pontiac Tempest and the ’85 Ford Mustang to Bremerton for the always exciting Northwest Independence Shootout hosted by the Sears Family Racing.

It was once again a action packed and fun time all around as the Sears Family do an awesome job making sure the event is ran smoothly along with all of the hardworking crew at Bremerton Raceways.  

We decided to run both cars in the Footbrake Challenge and double enter in both the Red & Blue sides on both Saturday & Sunday.  Chris was driving the Pontiac and had a great race against former Footbrake champ Brad Craig 1st rd in taking the W so he was pretty happy to say the least.  Paul while driving the Mustang took out former champ Steve Kelly 1st rd and then ran into defending champ Jody Lang taking a close loss by .008.  Chris ended up making it to the 3rd rd on the Blue side and Paul ended up bowing out in the 2nd rd on both the Red & Blue sides but overall a good day.

Sunday was right into eliminations and once again both cars made it to at least the 2nd rd on both sides of the ladder.  Chris made it to the 3rd rd where he faced Troy Johnston whom had a total .016 package while Chris had a great light but broke out in another super close race.  Paul lost 2nd rd on the Blue side and made it to the 5th rd on the Red side before going red by .008 against former champ Matt Kielman.  

Proud of Chris as this was really the first Footbrake race with the new engine combo in the Pontiac.  Way to go bro!  

Big shout out to Joe Loch for giving us a nice place to stay while at the track and thanks to our family & friends supporting us this weekend.

Hope to see you all again soon at a track near you! – Paul Young

Hello Race Fans!

Paul took his Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’85 Mustang to Pacific Raceways for the Saturday night bracket race. It was a cool day of weather which is great for racing but sure was windy as it threw a wrench in a lot of racers trying to find the magic number on their dial-ins. As is customary for our night races each class got 1 qualifying pass and had to dial for 1st round to ensure we have adequate time to finish the race prior to curfew.

Qual Pass : Ran 11.78 @ 112.88 mph w/.048 light
1st Rnd : Dialed 11.74 and ran 11.716 w/.048 light in a close double breakout race against Scott “The Rebuilder” Lewsley

It didn’t quite go as we planned this race but not going to hang our heads as it was a good race against a great competitor. It was a great week overall as Chris did an awesome job wheeling the 57 during the hot TNT on Wednesday and everything checked out great during the post-race inspections completed by Dad & bro.

Hope to see you all real soon at a track near you! – Paul

Hello Race Fans!

We enjoyed beautiful weather this past Saturday for our A Street Automotive sponsored bracket race at “The Place to Race” Pacific Raceways. We took Paul’s Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’85 Ford Mustang out to run in Pro and all went really well once again.

We got 2 time runs and the car went 11.77 and 11.75 respectively which was what we were expecting for the cooler weather conditions.

1st rd: We dialed 11.76 and ran 11.819 on the brakes taking the win thanks to having an advantage on the tree with a .007 light.

2nd rd: We got pulled for a bye run this round and ran 11.801 on the 11.77 dial to go along with a solid light.

3rd rd: We dialed 11.77 and ran 11.781 taking a close win against always tough Martin Condon.

4th rd: We dialed 11.76 and ran 11.719 trying to run down Ken O’Keefe in a double breakout race. Ken unfortunately got a good size advantage on the tree and I just couldn’t recover to get the W. This one was a little surprising to us in how much the car picked up from the prior run as the air density only dropped about 150 ft.

Big thanks to my bro this weekend in helping keep the car cool in between rounds and ensuring the car keeps running flawlessly. As I always say Dad & Bro are the ones that do all of the hard work on the car as I pretty much just hop in it and drive. Thank you also to family & friends that come out to cheer me on as it is always much appreciated.

Hope to see you all again soon at a track near you!

We’ve been attempting to get the ’57 Chev with Chris behind the wheel at a TNT, but the weather hasn’t been cooperating! We hope to have it out for testing in June! – Paul Young

Paul and Chris took Paul’s ’85 Mustang out to the track this weekend to race in Pro Bracket at the A Street Automotive ET Gold Cup Series with the new 31-spline Moser spool in the rear-end and new, single-plane intake manifold on the engine. There was a separate race on Saturday & Sunday to kick off our 2021 schedule! Now I turn it over to Paul for the complete racing recap – Roger

Capture from Chris Young video on Saturday

We enjoyed beautiful weather this past weekend for the season opener @ Pacific Raceways. We took Paul’s Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’85 Ford Mustang out for this 2-day race in Pro and all went really well. The car ran flawless all weekend after a few upgrades over the off-season which was a new spool for the 9-in Ford rear-end and an intake change. 

Saturday:

We got 1 time run and the car went 11.751 @ 114.10 with a .043 rt. We made it to the 4th rd and was still rolling but unfortunately ran into the 5 pm curfew.  

Sunday:

We got 1 time run and car went 11.785 @ 114.22 with a .031 rt.  We made it to the 4th rd once again but this time took a loss against Al Chinn due to going red.  I made a rookie mistake by letting the car creep forward while the tree was coming down but lesson learned!

As was stated above the car was flawless with much improved consistency in 60 ft times (first 5 passes all 1.58) and it sure helps with reaction times, dialing the car, etc.  We had 3 passes where it ran pretty much dead on the dial.

Big thanks to the crew this weekend that helped keep the car cool in between rounds and just had an all around good time at the track as that is what makes it fun. Thanks as always to my crew chiefs Dad & Bro as they truly are the ones that make the car run like it does as I pretty much just hop in it and drive.  

Huge congrats to our sponsor Handan Trailer Repairs as their son Jiovanni Collecchi won Super Comp and Super Pro on Sunday.  Way to go kid!

Hope to see you all again soon! – Paul Young
