Today at the historic Marconi
Automotive Museum, EMCOR Service/Mesa Energy Systems Inc, the leader in HVAC
services throughout California
announced that they have reached an agreement to become primary sponsor of the
Jam-Air Motorsports Alcohol Funny Car team with driver Will Martin for the 2008
Season.

“Today marks the beginning of
an exciting year for EMCOR Service/Mesa Energy Systems. I started Mesa Energy
25 years ago in a borrowed garage. Today we are the largest HVAC Services
provider in California
and are quickly becoming the premier Energy Solutions provider” said Senior Vice
President & founder Charles Fletcher.

Acknowledged as one of the hardest working men in motorsports, there is
nothing unusual in the fact that Hall of Fame Pro Stock racer Warren
Johnson will be tending to a race car this weekend.  After all, with
the start of the 2008 POWERade Drag Racing season just over three weeks
away, virtually every team across the country will be hard at work
making final preparations for the NHRA season-opener in Pomona, CA. 

In this case, however, The Professor’s efforts will not be focused on
his familiar GM Performance Parts Pontiac GTO, which he has left in the
capable hands of his crew in Sugar Hill, GA.  Instead, the six-time
NHRA Pro Stock champion will take part in the sale of one of his former
mounts, a 1987 Olds Firenza which will be auctioned off as part of the
famed Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ.

“I was originally contacted by Norm Bierhorst, who had bought one of my
old Firenzas,” said Johnson.  “After deciding he was no longer
interested in racing Super Gas, Norm wanted to restore the car to its
original condition, and asked what I might have.  After looking around
at the shop, I was able to supply most of the drivetrain from a
Firenza, which I still had in storage.  I provided him with a complete
engine from the carburetors to the dry sump, as well as the clutch and
other pieces that were totally unique to that body style.

Outlaw 10.5 Racer Planning Return to Competition Thanks To Friends

Some accidents can’t be erased at the snap of a finger.

Canadian Outlaw 10.5 racer Eddie Timal will always be reminded of what
could have been a fatal accident during the 2005 World Street Nationals
in Orlando, Florida. Timal’s classic turbocharged GTO struck the Armco
guardrail and became airborne before barrel-rolling violently down the
track sidelines.

Timal can’t seem to shake the memory of that accident. Neither can he shake a desire to return to competition.

A dream will be realized this October when Timal will return to Outlaw
10.5 Competition at the 2008 Orlando World Street Nationals. When he
launches in a brand-new 2000 C-5 Corvette, somewhere in the back of
Timal’s mind will be the day he became the subject of a violent crash sequence shot by the leading photographers.

Team JEGS chef Nicky Morse will lend his educated palate to the North Market’s
fifth annual Fiery Foods Festival, which takes place Saturday, Feb. 16, at the
famous 131-year-old Farmer's Market in downtown Columbus. The decorated chef and
star of the TV show "The Racing Chef" will judge the annual Customer Chili
Cook-off beginning at noon.

"I'm excited to see what people come up
with," said Morse, who usually spends his time preparing meals for members of
the JEGS Mail Order race team at various racetracks around the country. "The
North Market offers so many different kinds of meats, fresh vegetables, peppers,
and spices that the different varieties of chili someone could come up with are
literally limitless.

"I'm going to grade them hard. For me, the meat has
to be just right. It has to be the right size and consistency. The way the
vegetables are cooked into the recipe is also very important. Of course, the
taste is a big deal. You need some heat in there but you don't want to overpower
the flavor. I wish everyone the best of luck."

audience.”

staff to maximize the O’Fallon, Mo-based sanctioning body’s profile in
print, radio, television and online media outlets. He also will
facilitate the needs of media representatives at each of the series’

Adrenaline, the ADRL’s in-house magazine, and spearhead an effort to
improve and maintain the company’s official Web site, www.ADRL.us.
