(8/25/08) Mike Stawicki Racing had a successful ADRL debut at last weekends Gatorz Ohio Drags in Norwalk, Ohio. Stawicki’s G-Force Race Cars inc. built 67 Camaro was one of five roots powered Pro Extreme cars to qualify and the only IHRA legal car to make the field and advance into second round.
Stawicki stated, “This is a fun deal over here at the ADRL. The amount of track time you get to spend in a two day period is great. The competition is stout in all classes in the ADRL. The staff was glad to have us and made us feel welcome and we ran well. All in all, it was a good experience”.
Stawicki qualified in the 10th spot with a 3.98 @ 187 Mph and he took out Gary Irving in the first round with a 4.02 @ 185 Mph. That win paired him with Bubba Stanton in the Widowmaker Corvette. Stawicki put a slight holeshot on Stanton .036 to .047, but Stanton’s screw compressor power drove by Stawicki at the 200 ft. mark with 3.86 @ 195 Mph to Stawicki’s 3.97 @ 185 Mph. Co- Crew Chief Jon Salemi confirmed “We came to this race to improve on getting our car down the race track with our new M5 Supercharger. Between the new blower and clutch combination, we have a great race car right now. We are really excited about our upcoming events.”
The team will travel to Grand Bend, Ontario next weekend to compete in the 3rd Annual Thunder by the Beach PMRA Event Aug 30-31 followed by the IHRA Amalie Oil North American Nationals September 5-7 in Epping, New Hampshire.
