“All Motor Madness” at Mason Dixon Dragway! 

We are now heading into the home stretch of our 2008 program completing the fifth race of season at Mason Dixon Dragway in Boonesboro, MD. Sponsored by Morrison Racing Engines, This “All Motor Madness” race saw some fierce competition and some newfound victories in the four all motor racing classes!

Libertys Gears PRO NA

Coming up a few cars short this class was nonetheless as exciting with the debut of Leonard Long’s 2004 Mustang into the PRO NA mix. The Jerry Haas built, former IHRA Pro-Stock car is powered by a 398 cubic inch small block Ford and a G-Force5 speed trans.

The original driver of this car suddenly became ill and had to leave. Team Long was ready with Merv Moyer taking the wheel to put down the fastest pass of the day with a 7.58 @ 180 mph! 

Very impressive for the first time out with a driver that had about a half hour to familiarize himself with the car.

G-Force 10.5

A triple day of victory for Leonard Long with not only his PRO NA car and driver taking home a win, he himself would take home a double crown, first getting the win for the outstanding Beaver Springs finals and once again taking the win and points lead in this All Motor Madness race over rival G-Force 10.5 Mustang driver Charlie Booze.

Ram Racing Drag Radial

This small and exciting class put on one heck of a show for the all-motor race fans with some wheel standing action by Chris Diamond and Ron Rhodes.  Diamond would take the Wheels UP! Wheel stand of the day award when he took his 468 BBC powered Chevelle for a “Wheels Up” ride down the track, not once but twice.

Ron Rhodes would come back strong after making some hasty repairs to the championship winning Camaro to face off with the powerful big block Pontiac of Jeff Kinsler.  Kinsler would stumble on the tree giving Rhodes the win on a hole shot pass of 9.186 @ 146.94mph r/t .057 over Kinsler’s 9.140 @ 149.25 mph r/t .121.

Purnell Body Shop AMI

A big 50-car all run field that was heavy in the 10.00 and 10.50 indexes took to the lanes for many competitive rounds that would narrow to leave 10.00 index racer Tom Guellich in his Z28 against 12.50 index racer John Catlett.  “Big Tom” would get the better of Catlett running slightly under his under with a 9.993 over Catlett’s 12.452.

The staff would like to send out a huge thank you to Morrison Racing Engines for sponsoring the day’s event as well as all of our class, series and contingency sponsors for their continued support of the Naturally Aspirated Shootout Racing Series.
