Creasy Family Motorsports announced today that VSI has renewed their 13 year relationship with the Nitro Funny Car Team.

Built over 60 years, and located in the Midwest, Vehicle Specialties,
Incorporated is a friendly, family-owned Distributor of Wholesale High
Performance Parts and Accessories to the Automotive, Truck, SUV, and
Racing Industries.

The increasingly popular Speed TV show, Pinks All Out, came to Atlanta
Dragway May 9-10, 2008 to tape another episode of its growing series.
Well over 20,000 spectators (a one day attendance figure rivaled only
by the NHRA Southern Nationals) packed the grandstands on both sides of
the track. They definitely received their money’s worth during the
event, which features nearly 500 “little guy” racers vying for a spot
in the 16 car field that the show revolves around. David Harris, media
relations manager for Speed said, “Never has there been so much
excitement over the little guy racer.”

Pinks All Out is a spin-off of the original Pinks, which aired in 2005
with the premise of old style, “lose the race, lose your ride” pink
slip racing. “All Out” is a successful effort by host and executive
producer, Rich Christensen, to bring grass roots style drag racing to
television. Instead of the typical “Christmas Tree” start,
Christensen’s classic “arm drop” first ensures both racers are ready,
and then starts them off in a style similar to 50s style drag racing.
However, Pinks does use the staging portion of the “Christmas Tree” to
ensure both racers are positioned correctly at the starting line.

Pinks technical advisors Nate and Adam Pritchett, stars in their own
right, are the ones who ultimately choose the 16 car field for the
show. Their goal is to choose the ones that are closest together in
elapsed time, to ensure an even, heads-up, wide open, side by side, no
holds barred competition. Going into an event, no one knows what range
will be selected, although mid ten second quarter mile times are
prevalent. For the Atlanta event, the selected field ranged from a
quickest time of 10.30 seconds to a slowest of 10.38. Similar to street
racing, no times are displayed on the scoreboards, and after the
competition begins, not even the competitors are allowed to know their
elapsed times. It’s simply a case of the first person to the finish
line wins each round. The final round is done a little differently.
Both finalists are allowed to start when they get ready, but then are
not allowed to turn off their engines, and are not even allowed to
remove their safety equipment during a best two out of three passes
elimination.

Although he may be out of contention for this season's Australian Top
Alcohol Championship that certainly hasn't stopped reigning champion
Wayne Newby from taking round victories.

In what was his third victory of the 2007/08 season, Newby took out the
top honours during the recently held Nitro Champs at his home track of
Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID).

After qualifying second earlier in the weekend, Newby marched through
to the final by downing John Cannuli in national record time during the
opening round of eliminations, followed by advancing through to the
final when Aaron Hambridge red lighted during their match up in the
semi-final, and he then faced Aaron Lynch in the final and took out a
comfortable victory with a 5.884 second pass and that therefore sealed
his Nitro Champs victory.

The 2008 PPG Street Rodder Road Tour is traveling to Bowling Green, Ky.
for the 6th annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion. More than 50 cars
will drive from San Antonio, Texas to Bowling Green as part of the
Vintage Air-sponsored tour.

"We're thrilled that, like so many other hot rodders, the Street Rodder
Tour has made the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion one of its road-trip
destinations," said Tony Thacker, executive director of the Wally Parks
NHRA Motorsports Museum, producers of the Reunion. "Events like these
have helped the Reunion grow each year and means more cool cars at the
event, as well as an extra boost for Bowling Green's economy."

Through his years of piloting a Top Fuel dragster in the National Hot Rod
Association (NHRA), Doug Herbert has attained a level of notoriety and
accomplishment most can only dream of. None of the notoriety or accomplishment,
however, can compare with the love he has for sons Jon,17, and James,12, who
were killed in an automobile accident in January 2008.

Following the accident, Herbert
transferred some of the love and energy he has for his children into preventing
other families from enduring such grief by creating BRAKES – Be Responsible and
Keep Everyone Safe – to prevent more teen driving deaths and injuries by
educating teens and their parents on the consequences of unsafe
driving.

“No parent should ever receive the
call I received in late January,” said Herbert. “There is no worse feeling than
to find out your children have lost their lives in an accident that could have
been prevented.”

Ron Capps, tuner Ed "Ace" McCulloch and the NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge
Charger R/T Funny Car team recently tested a new Murf McKinney chassis
following the previous race in St. Louis and will debut it at this
weekend's NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway.

Capps is tied only with John Force with the most Funny Car wins at
Bristol, two, and feels he and the NAPA team are ready to roll with the
new chassis at the picturesque Tennessee facility.

Qualifying for each of these 21-plus tough fields so far this season
remains the key priority. "If you can take one thing out of this year
so far when it comes to qualifying is that a lot of really big teams
haven't qualified at certain races," said Capps, who has qualified for
each of the seven 2008 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Funny Car
events so far, "and a lot of it's been due to weather with the number
of qualifying sessions being shortened. If we get good weather and we
get four runs, it's going to be better for all the teams.

Klay Henderson (Gardendale, Ala.) and Philip Lindsay of (Gaffney, SC)
were the winners of the CompetitionPlus.com Bristol Thunder Valley
Nationals ticket giveaway. Both winners received a pair of free weekend
passes to attend the NHRA O’Reilly Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol,
Tenn.

Both winners will attend the Bristol drags for the first time ever.

Western Sydney Dragway, a multi-million dollar Government funded, state
of the art Drag Racing facility - is delighted to confirm the major
ANDRA Championship event dates for next season, located in Australia's
biggest city.

The Eastern Creek located venue has confirmed FOUR major dates on the
calendar for next season, building on the strength of the awesome
events staged this current season, featuring the epitome of the Sport
of Drag Racing in this country.

The important aspect of the dates is the confirmation that THREE of
these events will showcase all six ANDRA professional Drag Racing
categories, as well as a full compliment from the Sportsman Drag Racing
classes as well.

"From a track operational view, we probably didn't need to add further
Group 1 categories to the Snap-on Nitro Champs next year," remarked
WSID MD Tony Beuk.

Checker, Schuck's, Kragen Funny Car driver Del Worsham knows the
score, knows the drill, and can see the future, to a degree.  He
doesn't know how the story will end, come Labor Day when the field is
set for the 2008 NHRA Countdown to the Championship, but he's pretty
sure he can guess how the 10 qualifying Funny Car drivers will get
there.  They will race hard, every lap, for every possible point.

Since the inception of the Pro Modified Racing Association four years
ago, the Pro Modified series Presented by Torco Racing Fuels Ontario
has offered some of the best racing of its kind, and there has not been
a dominate team capturing all the races.
 
In fact, out of the past 14 PMRA events, there has been only one repeat
event winner. Joe Boniferro of Niagara Falls, Ontario, won the 2007
final at the Grand Bend Motorplex over Bruce Boland of Hamilton,
Ontario. Boniferro also won the same event in 2006, making him the only
multiple event winner in PMRA history.
 
Both Boniferro and Boland, who captured the 2007 PMRA Championship
sponsored by Wix Filtration Products, Valvoline, Uni-Select, and Moen
Incorporated, will be ready to compete in the PMRA’s 2008 opener for
the Third Annual Victoria Day Weekend - PMRA Challenge at Toronto
Motorsports Park at Cayuga May 17 and 18.
 
The pair will join their fellow PMRA veterans and a host of new teams to the series as this year’s tour gets underway.
