NSCRA Final Event

To be honest, we weren't planning on making the trip to Florida for this event. We were planning on ending our season with World Cup and resting up a bit until 2010.

But as many of you know, resting doesn't come easy for Miller and the NRG Tech team. And we can't help but rise to any challenge. So after much consideration, some pleading and some generous help, we have decided to haul it down to PBIR (Palm Beach International Raceway) and take home the win for NY one last time this year.

The season finale kicks off Friday, December 4th and ends December 6th. This 3-day event is chock-full of exciting events that are not to be missed! On the line-up is a 20 Class Car Show, Live Mobile Dyno Competition, Hot Body Bikini Contest and, lest we forget, some of the Best Drag Racing in the country!

180 MPH - New World Record!

Miller has done it again! He has beaten his own MPH world record! Yesterday night at Atco Raceway Chris completed some exhibition passes. His final run of the night was a staggering 8.9 @ 180 mph!

After dyno testing the car this week to test new cams Chris was able to find roughly 200 hidden horsepower! Hopefully we can squeeze in a bit more track time before winter rears its ugly head. The track was oiled down quite a few times and the very cold temps last night were not conducive to great track conditions. In better conditions we are sure to drop to our lowest time ever!

New All-Motor World Record!!

We are always overjoyed to see our customers attain their racing goals and hit their personal bests. We love it even more when they smash world records!

This past weekend Jose Bello aka Pepsi shattered the All-Motor world record at Import Survival Series/Street Wars at Englishtown. Pepsi's new world record is a staggering 10.42 @ 131 mph! He then went on to win the event in the finals against Tim Grey.

This is a great way to bring the 2009 season to a close! Congrats again to Pepsi and the whole Stage 2 Crew!

World Cup 2009

This past weekend was MIR's World Cup Finals, a two-day event that pits domestics against imports. As usual, it was a packed event with great racing, new personal bests and fun times.

We have had an amazing season this year, winning every event we entered. But as the old saying goes, you can't win 'em all! Saturday was a promising day for us as we ended the day with an 8.76, putting us in the #1 qualifer position. However, Sunday just didn't seem to hold the same fortune for us. We redlit in the first round. You win some, you lose some. We still had a fun weekend and enjoyed seeing our customers and friends hit their own personal bests.

Congrats to our customers for some great racing and great times this weekend! We were so proud to see 4 of our customers hit their personal best times this weekend!

Tommy Berdet - 9.90 @ 151 - Civic Hatchback - Wild Street

Pepsi (Jose) - 10.67 @ 128 (on 2200 lbs) - Civic Hatch - All Motor Street

Shawn Ramey - 9.25 @ 160 - Civic Si - Wild Street

Rob Mapps - 9.50 @ 163 - 95 Civic Hatchback - Wild Street

Chris' car also ran great numbers, despite the redlight in round 1. His top qualifying time was a 8.76 @ 171.6 and he ran a 8.80 @ 170 in the first round.

Also, congrats to Loan Nguyen for her new personal best of 10.49 @ 129, Jonathan Reynolds for his new personal best with 8.91 @161 and Felix Medina for his new personal best with 8.83 @ 172!
Special thanks go out to:
-Maryland International Raceway and Jason Miller for putting on one hell of an event!
-US Army - Thank you for sponsoring this race and for all you do for us!
-The NRG Tech team - as always, a job well done!
-Jeff Blumenfeld for some the fab pictures!
