Welcome to CMR and 2012!

Thank you for checking out the blog, as many of you know I (chris miller) am no longer affiliated with NRG tech racing or as they call themselves these days NRG tech Online. Well enough of that.

We are going to get this blog up and going again and have a little fun in 2012. Make sure to mark us down in your favorites and check in from time to time.

DSS Pro Level Advertisement in DSport!

We are very grateful to have such outstanding relationships with such great companies like DriveShaft Shop. Chris runs the DSS Pro Level axles in his car and they have treated him amazingly so far. Along with the product dependability and great workmanship, DSS has a reputation for stellar customer service.

That being said, we are proud to represent DSS in their advertisement in the September issue of DSport Magazine. Chris has been having a great season thus far, running consistently in the 8s!

To celebrate the advertisement we are offering FREE shipping (Continental US) on all DriveShaft Shop products for the rest of August and the entire month of September when you mention the DSport DSS advertisement! Don't forget to pick up your September issue of DSport today!

Honda Day Coverage - Raceway Park

Honda Day at Raceway Park is always a great event. Vendors, show cars, race cars and spectators literally packed out Raceway Park this past Sunday. If you have never been to a Honda Day event you truly don't know what you are missing!

We are again proud to announce that Chris won the Outlaw Event against Jonathan Reynolds in the finals. NRG Tech team member Rob Mapps had a great day at the track as well with a personal best of 9.4 @ 150 on a 67 turbo! Unfortunately, because there was SO many racers participating, the SFWD final was called due to a time curfew. We're pretty sure Rob would have had the win in the bag though ;).

As always, we would like to thank our sponsors for their great products! Driveshaft Shop, Precision Turbo, EFI Wizard Injectors, Avid Racing, AEM and Spec Clutch are all fantastic companies dedicated to providing top-notch products and support to racers.
