index class. Brian Rivers and his staff member Sean Kiser of WrenchRite Car Care
Center of Carlisle Pa. will be our sponsor for this race series which will have
approx. seven events for the 2012 race season starting in early May. Back in
August, Knisley's Performance closed their doors and WrenchRite bought out most
of the inventory. Sean will handle the speed shop / accessory side of the
business. They are located almost directly across Carlisle Pike from the old
Knisley's store. Both Brian and Sean attended yesterdays race, you'll see
their pictures in the winners circle as soon as the photos are posted.
WrenchRite will be the title sponsor for the 6.50 index class. Thanks, Brian and
Sean!
WrenchRite 6.50 index class had nine entrants, Jeff
Doster, Ken Kline, Lee Chronister, Bruce Stoltzfus, Bill Smith, Wes Lawson,
Darrell Law, Howard Lawson and Leslie Tobery. Everyone was sharp, running well
into the low 6.50s on most passes. In the final both Leslie Tobery and Howard
Lawson ran identical 6.54 ets with Leslie getting the win via a slightly better
light, Darrell Law took third. This was just great racing out of all nine
entrants, watch this class take off in 2012!
NAPA Automotive of York Footbrake Challenge had a full
sixteen car field with Bill Smith and Rick Riddle in the final, both were out by
less than .01, Bill with a 6.47 and Rick with a 6.94. Brian Shaffer and Jim
Stephens took semi spots. Rick sure is having fun with his son Derek's car while
he is away at college.
Staub Automotive Super had Scott Miller '67
Chevelle with his first Super Pro win running a dead on 6.27 @ 109 mph over
a breaking out Ron Weidner in his '70 Chevy Nova
with a 7.17 on a 7.20 dial. Brandon Lowe took third.

won Brad Rodgers @ Brookside Motors Trophy class with a dead on 7.83 over
Darrell Wanish in his Monte Carlo. Rodger Gladfelter and Dave Beam were the semi
finalists.
There were twenty five test and tune cars with us today,
this deal is a bargain, $20.00 gets you time runs all day, usually six to eight
passes. These were some runs of note. Larry Mummert's 340 Duster ran a best 6.46
@ 104mph, Steve Groft's 427 '68 Chevelle, 6.54 @ 104, Dwayne Stambaugh finished
his cross over license runs on Robert Huff's VRod with several 6.00 @113 mph

runs and will try to finish licensing this Sunday, and finally Kasey Brunner
drove Bob Carlson's Camaro to a 6.82 et. Many others ran well and we hope to see
many of them back this Sunday!

10/17/2011 - Partly cloudy skies and gusty winds greeted our racers on this "King of the Track" day at Quarter Aces. Lets start with our Brad Rodgers @ Brookside Motors Trophy class. In the final in her "borrowed?" Ford Taurus was Cindy Eisenhart winning over Ron Lebo. Cindy was one off her 10.12 dial to win the four round class. Wayne Kopp and John Stambaugh took the semi spots.

Staub Automotive Super was won by Walt Little over Mark Coover when Mark broke out by one in the final. Chris Crawford took third. Super had nineteen cars racing today. How about Tabi Startzman winning over the much faster Jeff Huber on his Suzuki. This was Tabi's first win, no doubt there will be more in the future. Howard Gibbs and Matt Hile were the semi riders. In Keith's Pit Stop Pro Dave Dissinger from Lancaster Co. drove his super Vega wagon to take the win over Scott Thomas and his 454 '70 Chevelle, 6.45 to a 7.58.

The NHRA "King of the Track" found Garrett Suders winning over Tabi Startzman while Walt Little got by Dave Dissinger. In the final it was Walt Little who was excellent all day long running a 6.80 on a 6.79 dial as Garrett Suders was out by one, 7.44 on his 7.45 dial. Garrett won a "Wally" last week, this one could have been his fourth this year. Walt says this was his first ever "Wally". Great job Walt Little and family! At the end of points this year we had a tie in our Super Pro Class between Bill Wilkinson and Mark Coover and yesterday they got around to running off the tie breaker. Mark caught a slightly better light and won giving him his first ever track championship. Steve Groft in his "68 big block Chevelle came out to race with us for the first time in five years!

and Pete Milhimes were the semi racers. Also entered in Trophy was our NHRA
Division One Racers for Christ Chaplin Dan Laterza. Last year at MG Super Chevy,
Dan purchased a '65 110 hp. 3 speed stick Corvair. Dan raced a similar Corvair
in stock eliminator back in the sixties. He has done some work to this car and
for the first time in years Dan changed hats from Chaplain to drag
racer. After two time runs, Dan was ready for round one, both drivers
had similar lights and at the finish line Dan's win light came on. Now to
round two and once again the Corvair gets another win. Finally in round three
his competitor got the better light and Dan broke out with a best run of the
day, 12.02 @ 55mph. There will be pictures of Dan and Claire with their trophy
on our photo page soon. This was really great that these two get to go drag
racing!
McNew's Automotive Street was won by Garrett Suders
getting the "Wally" over runner up Kristine Woods from Md. Rob Roberts Jr.
took third.
In Keith's Pit Stop Pro the story was Todd Thoman, not in
his Malibu, but driving Bob Carlson's '70 Nova to a win over Lee
Chronister in his Comet. Todd ran the number on several runs of this six round
class and good lights especially in the later rounds. This was Todd's second
"Wally" win over the years. Garrett Suders was third. Oh by the way, Todd got
the "Wally", Bob kept the cash! Fair enough I guess??
Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike /
Sled was won by Harv Philumalee riding his Suzuki over Dan Strausbaugh on
his SkiDoo. Harv just won a King of the Track "Wally" in August at Maple Grove,
two in one year, not bad! Rick Frey and Joe Stuebner took semi spots. Joe

Congratulations go to Erik Kopp, he went to 4th round. Tim Grauling, Chris Taylor & Joe Wetzel went to 3rd round. Saturday Evening, just after Chris Taylor broke his rear after winning in the second round showed what our racers at QA are made of. To help Chris make 3rd round, Brandon Lowe volunteered the rear needed. As QA racers were removing the good rear from Brandon's & replacing it in Chris's car. They did this in record time and had him up and running for 3rd round. Chris made a good run, but spun to go out in the 3rd round. The Taylors would like to Thank all those that helped to make this happen. This is what I call Team Spirit, to provide the parts & labor so another can continue in competition.

good barometer and great track prep had cars flying today. Let's start with our

nine cars and drivers from all over, many spectators who came to see this event
and the sponsors, Lon Danley's Trindle Auto Service, Justin Bradley's DMS

Accord against Alan Cordero in his '97 Honda Civic. Courtney won out
when Alan went red and won the $100.00, track owner, Stanley Dye put up an
additional $50.00 that went to Alan for his runnerup effort. This was
a fun event and we WILL do more of this in 2012!
Next attraction of the day was our 6.50 index class. Eight
cars entered and in the final like the last race it pitted Wes
Lawson of Mt Airy Md driving his S-10 Chevy
truck against Bill Smith in his small block Ford powered Pinto. Bill took
the win with a 6.47 @ 104 while Wes went in to deep and fouled. Howard
Lawson and John Soltes were the semi racers, every run had the cars very near or
just under the 6.50 index, this class is entertaining and fun to watch and

We got all our time runs in and then, you guessed it, a brief rain shower held us up for about an hour. We got through round one and once again the rains and thunder rolled in and we had to call it a day. Here's what did get done. First off we got extra help
getting the minor flooding damage cleaned up so we could go racing. We started
on time with Trophy cars going down track at 11:00 am. Larry Mack and his
Warriors 10.5 Outlaw Pro Street cars were part of the show. Low E.T. went to
Dave Tolley and his Pro Charger Mustang laying down a 5.14 @ 135 mph. James
Houston and his '64 Fairlane big block car ran a 5.18 @ 133 mph. Mike Wisegerber
ran a 5.53 @ a slowing 109 mph. Later Mike pitched a blower belt just off the
line and damaged a header also. To the rescue was Larry Baish with his welding
expertise, Mike's car was ready to go in an hour. Dan Shaffer's stunning
'64 street legal Vette ran a pair of low 5.70 runs @ 119 mph. MANDRA cars
were in the house also, all cars ran well and were fun to watch. What a variety
of machines they bring. Everything from a small block Chevy powered MG
driven by Marc English, Greg Grubel's '50 Olds, Charlie Innerst's '66 big block
Belair, John Wise's Studebaker. Allen George's '62 409 Impala, Jim Shearer's
Chevelle and it goes on. Excellent show! Bruce Larson brought the '68 Camaro
USA1 funny car and fired it up with a 90% load of nitro. Bruce also was on the
PA during the first rain shower, talking about his match race days and
shared some stories about "Jungle Jim' Liberman and "Jungle Pam". Bill Stiles of
"Stiles Performance" also made a couple of runs in his Plymouth Duster. Jim
Scott is back! After undergoing treatments all summer, Jim finished up his
license runs in his Cougar laying down several 6.30 @ 110 mph runs. Reggie
Murphy's wheelstanding front engine injected Chevy dragster ran a stout 6.21 @
111 mph. What a ride! Ed Beers, photographer from East Coast Drag News took
photos which will appear ECDN website soon. Kevin Little and Brian Kuhn ran each
other in a match race, Chevy and against Ford powered Willys gassers. Kevin won,
he is a bit quicker, still entertaining. To bad the weather didn't fully
cooperate.
9/6/2011 - There is certainly a lot to talk about with the Labor Day weekend racing. A big thanks to Cary Walton, president of NAPA Automotive of York for putting up $50.00 for each class winner, Paul Burrus of A Cut Above Landscaping putting up extra cash for the Super winner and runnerup, Donna Fox for putting up gift certificates for Super Winner and Runner-up, Harry Hassinger and family for the five foot trophy going to the Bike /Sled Winner, Tim Grauling for putting up cash for the Junior Dragster winner and runnerup and the Kile family for gifts for the Ladies Challenge drivers. How about the pig roast, the money raised, over $400.00, goes to the bracket finals racers heading to Delaware in less than three weeks. Mike Jones, the entire Shaffer family, the Lowe family, the Brown family and Belinda Miller all worked hard putting together the dinner and serving it throughout the day Sunday. If you didn't eat well, it's your own fault, what a great meal! Other cool stuff was Samantha Brown making two passes at the end of the day in her Dad's car, a real fast low six second Mustang. Samatha does a great job in the Junior Dragster class and she quickly got a feel for the car and made a low seven second run, she will be running this car more this fall and possibly be the main driver in 2012. Frank Spidel made his first runs in his 6.0 GM powered Olds Cutlass, best run a smooth 6.82 @ 101 mph. There is much more in this car. On a sadder note, John Thompson owner of Knisley's Performance closed the doors on Wed. Aug. 30th. John has partnered with us since he opened the store in the late '80s, a big thanks to John for all his support all these years, we wish him the best in his new endeavors! Now the racing, in Staub Automotive Super Pro, Lance Kreiger won a close one over Paul Burruss in the final, Paul had the better light but broke out, 6.90 on a 6.94, Lance was dead on at 5.46, a real good race. Lance won an additional $140.00 in cash and gift certificates over the regular purse, not a bad day. Brittany Taylor took third place. There were seventeen cars in Super today. Bill Wilkinson and Mark Coover both went out in the first round and are tied for the points lead, we got rained out Monday, we will have them run off soon to get a track champ. Bill has differed his spot in the race of champions at US 13 to Mark as Bill has run the that deal several times before, what a great gesture on Bill Wilkinson's part. Mark Coover will be our Super Pro Race of Champions Representative at Bracket Finals this season. Dan Strausbaugh won Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike / Sled /ATV over Chris Zarichansky, Steven Myers and David Cox were the semi racers. A big congats to Dwayne Stambaugh on his 2011 track championship, Zari hung with him til the end being second by one round, nice job to both racers. Dwayne Stambaugh will be our 2011 Bike/Sled/ATV Race of Champions representative at Bracket Finals this season. Keith's Pit Stop Pro E T had former Junior Dragster heavy hitter Derek Riddle winning over Lukas Birks in a close one, Lukas broke out by .02. Jeff Doster Sr. took third. Brian Shaffer won his second championship in a row, last year by two rounds, this year by one! Bob Crum was the man pushing Brian this year and last. Great job by both racers this season. Brian Shaffer will be our 2011 Race of Champions representative at Bracket Finals this season.. McNew's Automotive Street was won by Rob Roberts Jr. over a tough Scott Thomas in his "70 454 Chevelle, 2011 track champ Steven Greenplate took third.

Lots of good stories of the race action completed today. Starting with Staub Automotive Super, Ken Kline Jr. who hasn't raced in two years, found the tree real fast. Several .00 lights and close to the dial runs had Ken against Bill Wilkinson in the final. The lights were close, Ken was closer to his dial, 6.56 on a 6.51 dial. Walt Little and Brittany Taylor were the semi racers. Welcome back Ken! Sadly Kerm Shindledecker had engine problems with his unique '55 Olds.

Alexxa and Claudia Powers took semi spots. Our team did fairly well, many drivers made it past first round but then didn't make it through round two. The exception was Nick Taylor who won four rounds before bowing out in round five. Good job to all that competed.
July 25, 2011 - Many tracks in our area cancelled or modified their racing events that were to run on Friday or Saturday due to the extreme hot weather. Luckily Sunday was slightly better but still very warm and muggy conditions greeted our racers as they arrived Sunday morning.

From Libertytown Md, Bob Walker Jr. brought his '63 Z-11 Impala to do battle with Greg Cook and his '63 Galaxie, both are big block powered cars and they ran heads up, .400 pro tree. Bob won the first two, Greg won round three and Bob finished the deal in round four for the best three out of five. This was fun, Greg hung with Bob every run til about the 330 ft. mark and then the Chevy would pull away a bit in high gear, these cars ran 6.40s to 6.50s each run. We hope to have these racers back to match race again soon, hopefully our Nostagia event on Sept. 11. Now on to our Summit Points racers, in Staub Automotive Super, Tim Grauling ran a 4.94 @138 mph over Bill Foster in his '70 Chevelle who ran 5.61 @ 121 mph. Both cars broke out, Tim by .02 and Bill by .03. The third place drvier was Jerry Holcomb. Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike / Sled was won by Dan Strausbaugh over Dwayne Stambaugh, Keith Holtzapple and John Harmon Jr. were semi racers. Keith's Pit Stop Pro was won by last years champ, Brian Shaffer over a red lighting Joe Wetzel. Jim Stephens took third. Kristen Warner and '01 Lightning Ford truck won out over Garret Suders. Courtney Suders and Brittany Jones were the semi drivers. Wayne Donoho won Brad Rodgers at Brookside Motors Trophy over Steve Rutherford, Brandon Campbell took third. Tessa Sheaffer won Trindle Auto Service Sport Compact with a win over Runner-Up Brian Dubbs, Jared Swarner took third place. And lastly, in Special Event EMS Junior Dragster all the way from Woodbridge Va. Alexcis Schultz won over Nick Taylor. Sister Mia Schultz and Caleb Holley took the semi spots. We were a bit lucky today as showers were in the area, we had maybe two very brief delays for light rain showers, not so lucky was Chris Taylor driving the Mercury Cyclone in Super losing an Engine and Transmissionat about the 330 ft. mark. Hopefully the Taylor gang can get this excellent car and driver back on the track. Don' forget we race both Sunday and Memorial Day Monday this upcoming week. Camping is allowed, just be respectful to our neighbors.

We are closed next weekend for Easter, however I may post if we still need help with the clean up on Saturday. 4/11/11 - Opening day for our Summit ET series was a good one with many first time winners. Before we go to this part of the event , let's talk a bit about our Warriors 10.5 OPS test and tune day. Larry Mack who promotes this group, brought three excellent car/ driver teams, Dave Tolley in his late model pro charger Ford Mustang, James Houston in his big block naturally aspirated 64 Ford Fairlane and Mike Weisgerber blower big block Chevy Camaro. With damp and cold conditions and track temps only in the low fifties, it took a couple of runs for these drivers to get down the track. James Houston figured it out first with a smooth 5.20 et @133 mph pass, Dave Tolley was able lay down a couple of mid 5.20 runs also. Mike did get one pretty good run but he has a lot more in his car than he showed. All three are great cars and many others will be at Quarter Aces on May 15th when Larry Mack brings the whole circuit, this should be a GREAT show, don't miss it! Though Sammy Carter didn't bring his car he and his crew were in attendence along with top shelf MD. bracket racer Ed Rozzelle. Now for our racers, in Staub Automotive Super, nobody could do much with Brittany Taylor, she ran a dead on 6.27 et @109 mph to take out a good running Jeff Francis who was .02 off his dial. Brandon Lowe took third. Of note, both finalists drove Mustangs and are Maryland racers.
A new first time winner in Keith's Pit Stop Pro was the 80 Camaro driven by Jim Stephens. Jim licensed last week as his car now runs down into 6.20 et range. The car leaves hard now and just works! Bob Crum took runnerup spot, his car ran the number all day long and was tough, Brian Kuhn took third.
Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike was won by Terry Hoke, who deafeated the former track champ Howard Gibbs. Robert Huff and Keith Holtzapple were the semi riders. This was Terry Hoke's first win.
McNew's Automotive Street was won by Scott Keller, this was his first win in Street, he won out out over a very tough and many time track champ, Garrett Suders, Chad Birks took third.
Economy Transmissions, Dover Pa. owner and track sponsor Boyd Michael won in Brad Rodgers Brookside Motors Trophy class over Kris Zartman. Stephen Hensley was third.
Trindle Auto Service, Lon Danley Sport Compact had a great turn out of nine cars, mostly Hondas with Chad Bishop in his 90 Civic hatchback winning over Jared Swarmer in his 95 Civic Coupe. Another Honda driver, Brandon Hippensteel took third.
Dylan's Restuarant and Lounge Masters Challenge was won by Wayne Donoho over Ron Lebo.
Finally in Special Event EMS Junior Dragster had Brady Kile start off 2011, defeating last years champ Skyler Stump. Samantha Brown took third. Brady was "on" all day, great job to Brady and the entire Kile family.
We also had a number of Pro Stick cars which will be in the house on May 1st, making test and tune runs, all ran well.
All right, points race number one is in the books, this Sunday along with all our Summit ET classes and trophy and sport compact class, we will run a 6.50 index class open to cars and bikes. Four tenths pro tree, no dealy box or throttle stops, trans. brakes are ok. No charge for this class, it will be run like a gamblers race with this time a 100% payout. The racers will pick the entry fee before eliminations. Also Kartunes Unimited Street Legal Eliminator will be contested. $500.00 purse based on a 20 car field, money goes to winner, runner up and semi racers.
We'll see you this coming Sunday, April 17th!! The 2011 race season is now underway! We kicked off the new season by holding a test & tune event and ran a gamblers races for both junior dragsters and the cars, bike and sleds. We had windy conditions and temps that barely hit 50 degrees but that didn't stop racers from getting in their laps on what turned out to be a good hard hooking track. We started running at 11:00 am and finished up about 4:30. Jim Stephens had his Camaro making license runs and all were plenty fast enough, most were in the 6.20 et range at 108 to 109 mph. Jim Scott got one 6.36 et but could not put two more together, he'll have to try next week for his license. Bill Foster had his 70 Chevelle flying with at 5.65 et @ 121.5 late in the day. We had many nice comments on our new starting line sign provided by John Thompson's Knisley Performance. The sign was made by Mundorff Signs in West York, Pa. A big thanks to both companies. The gamblers races went well, Nick Taylor won out over Jordan Kile in Special Event EMS Junior Dragster class, Brady Kile took third, Lester Holtzapple won a close one over Mark Coover with Tabby Startman taking third spot on her sled. Sunday April 10th will be our first Summit Points Race for 2011. We also have Dave Tolley and James Houston coming with their Warriors 10.5 OPS Fords to put on a match race, also Master Challenge will be contested.

2010 Bracket Finals - Thanks to Charlie, Joyce, U S 13 Staff, Bob Lang, Dave Mohn and the NHRA staff for a successful bracket finals.
We had hot and humid weather for time runs on Thursday and Friday. Saturday morning, for Eliminations, dawned cool and little humidity, so dialing was a nightmare especially for the Street Class. Most drivers would see personal bests this day.
Brandon Lowe went to the 2nd round of the Super Class Race of Champions. Congratulations to all our QA #1's.
Wes Garman and Chris Zarichansky made good runs in the Bike Class and went to the 4th round. David Keyton and Kevin Little in Super Class went to the 3rd round. Colton Kirshner, Joe Yeaple & Lou Drayer in Pro E T Class went to 3rd round. Stan Crum, Scott Klovinsky, and Doug Wetzel went to 2nd round in Street. Zach Myers made it to 2nd Round in High School class. Great Job by all team members.
Ed Reese in his Ecotech Dragster not only made it down the 1/4 successfully at 120 mph, but also was awarded The Best Engineered Vehicle Award.
Now onto what I call Team Spirit, Jerry Holcomb, Jim Stephens, Mike and Colby Ambrose on and off Thursday and Friday worked to fix various problems that occurred with Colby's Chevette, but thanks to all the work, Colby was able to win 1st Round at this years Bracket Finals. As if this wasn't enough Brian Shaffer's Mustang lost a center section on Friday during 1st time run for the Race of Champions, but thanks to Lee Chronister and so many others of our team Brian was able to make 1st round eliminations of the Race of Champions. WAY TO GO TEAM QA!!!!!!
