Labor Day Weekend a Success!

Updated On: Sep 08, 2009 (09:07:00)
Labor Day at Great Lakes Dragaway once again. The best show of the year, the stands were full of people and the baddest racing in the midwest was on the track.
With the '57 the weekend started out promising, making a test hit saturday morning we went 7.02@202.8mph...
however a battery malfunction kept us from running the 1st qualifying run. 2nd round of qualifying we came out against Pete Demos a LRE customer and ran real hard till about 700 feet when the blower belt let go, we coasted to a 7.70 @ 170 mph...
On sunday we came out firing, first round running a 6.96@205, with a lot of room left in the tune-up especially in the first 600 feet of the track..

Our 2nd run we stepped it up a bit knowing we needed to run a 6.905 or better to get in. We ran 6.865@206 right down the track. We got bumped by a 6.859, however it was one of our customers Pete who bumped us so LRE was still in the show!

It was a great time all weekend long, tons of great fans and a ton of great racing..
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the trailer. We are still working on getting some Tshirts, just not enough time in the day right now.

LRE Updates for August

Updated On: Feb 23, 2010 (14:44:00)
Well with racing season well underway we have been busy both at the shop and on track. With our customer base growing the need for us to be present at the track has grown also. You can typically find one of us at the track, whether its The Skinny Kid(Jimmy),Steve or Doug. Just let us know your needs and we can find time to come help your program at the race track.

Rick Blaisdell made his 2009 season debut at NMCA North Carolina at beautiful Zmax Dragway. The car was a fan favorite for sure, even though we fought problems all weekend the fans were still coming back to the pits and telling us how much they liked it, and we were happy to be there.
Heres a couple pictures from Street Legal TV from the weekend.

We also would like to inform all of our customers we are now a dealer for VP Racing Fuels.

We are constantly keeping VP red or VP 110 in stock. We also have M1 and M3 all the time. Any other fuel can be ordered also, most times we can receive the fuel within 5 days.
We have been doing a lot of testing with VP Racing fuels and because of our positive results, we now offer it to our customers in an effort to keep giving you guys the best there is to offer.

We will have more car updates and racing updates in the weeks to come.. Keep checking out our racing schedule and come see us at the track!

2008 Season Re-Cap

Updated On: Apr 02, 2009 (14:53:00)

Our 2008 season began somewhat slow with some cylinder head issues, but ended in great fashion! Early in the year, we showed promise with big MPH runs. We knew the horsepower was there and in May at Da Grove we went 7.13 @ 202mph and 7.07 @ 205mph.

After the cylinder head issues were put to rest we went to work on getting the chassis right. It took the better part of the year to do so to fix it.

Right off the trailer at Byron the car finally showed its true potential by running 6.86 @ 205mph. Then we backed it up with a 6.83 @ 201mph. We just barely missed the Quick Two at Byron. We left the tune up alone for our next time out.

At the Top Dog Shootout the car went 6.85 @ 205mph right off the trailer, in less then stellar conditions, once again. Qualifying us #3 in between two of our own customers, Rick Blaisdell #2 and Pete Demos #4.

First round, we had a solo pass and went 6.77 @ 199mph. The throttle close to 1000' into the run, we showed great promise towards the end of the year.

The race was shortened to 1/8th mile due to weather conditions, we won next round and made it to the final. The final was a draw due to snow, really it was snowing!

So we ended the year on a positive note. The car is working like it should once again and with the proven HP of Doug's 526" Bullet. Next year, we should be able to make it a good consistent year!

Thanks for all the support from everyone!
