Johnson goes to Semifinal's first time out

Roy Johnson made it to the Stock Eliminator Semifinals at Bristol at his very first race in three decades. Roy got a red light in the semi's, but hey after that long out of the seat at least nobody can say he was late on the tree! Roy also received the NHRA Best Appearing for his 2010 Dodge Challenger that is painted nearly the same as his old car he used to race.

We're not sure when he'll be out again, as the engine building work for his son's Pro Stock team demands a great deal of time, but we're sure excited to see Roy do so well the first time out with his new car!

Congratulations Roy!!

New Challengers Arrive

We just received 3 more 2010 Dodge Drag Pak Challengers, and we're ready to build them out into NHRA Stock or Super Stock configuration. Call us today to make one of these cars your next race car!

We've also got two Cobalts ready to be built. One's on the jig right now and is configured for NHRA Super Stock G/T class, the other is still a street car ready to be built into whatever class or configuration you desire!

In other news, we're getting ready to finish up the 68 Cuda for Lloyd Wofford with it's Wescott Hemi ready to drop in. We're also getting the GTO ready for NHRA Unleashed in August which should be a fun event and hopefully our updates will put the car in the winners circle!

June Customer Updates

NHRA Unleased in Atlanta

We took the B & B GTO to the NHRA Unleashed race in Atlanta July 12th and besides the HOT weather, we had a GREAT time. The NHRA put on a great race and it was very racer friendly event. NHRA President Tom Compton even took the time to visit with all the Pro Mod, Outlaw 10.5 and Limited Street Racers! NHRA is very excited to be working with ORSCA on the Unleashed Program, and we were pleased to have been a part of it.

We didn't do great things with the GTO, but it did qualify well, and we did pick up some valuable data to work with. You can bet it'll be even more competitive next time out!

Marcellus Grace picks up 2009 Drag Pak Challenger

Marcellus Grace from New Orleans picked up his brand new Drag Pak Challenger last week.

He's going to be running Stock Class A, do some bracket racing from time to time and is planning on entering some car shows also. Here's a few more photos of this super clean machine.

Thanks for the business and keep in touch Marcellus!!!

Don Baskin took delivery of his new B & B Race Cars built 2010 Camaro late last month and didn't waste anytime taking it to NMCA's Maple Grove race where they were running in the Pro Stock class.

The new Camaro was already the talk of the race from the entry gate to the concession stands, but when Driver Greg Delaney proceeded to lay down the 2nd fast pass (8.560@156.81) in Pro Stock qualifying, it was icing on the cake for Baskin! Delaney went on to runner up against his team-mate, Skip Baskin, in the final round of eliminations, 8.575@156.61 vs Delaney's 8.600@156.65. That's a heck of an outing for a brand new car! Everyone here at B & B is extremely happy to see it do so well on it's maiden race!

    (Check out some photos of the new Camaro)

Baskin's new Camaro wasn't the only B & B Built car at Maple Grove to raise a few eyebrows... David Beason from Baton Rouge, LA in his Purple and Black 74 Camaro that we built in 2001, really shook up the Nostaliga Pro Street Competition when he went out and qualified 2 1/2 tenths faster than the field. Beason dropped a 7.288@190 mega-hammer on his competitors, and promptly got taken to the barn for hours of very close inspection.

After emerging totally legal, the car ran like a bracket racer running .28's, .29's and .31's in eliminations slaughtering everyone on the ladder. In the finals he found himself facing #2 Qualifier, Kevin Parent who had to feel the heat after seeing what Beason had been running. Beason got out on Parent at the hit, but broke an input shaft, ending his chances at total domination for this race. Even with a RU finish, he flat laid the smack down on those boys!

James Caro driving Sonny Stancil's Dodge Stratus won Competition Eliminator in Chicago. James beat David Rampy in the final 8.124@162.35 vs Rampy in the Roadster that ran 7.342@152.00. Lot's of high fives in the pits as it was the Stancil / Caro teams first National Event win!

Congratulations Sonny & James!!!

We also want to give a shout out to Justin Jenkins who runnered up at the June 6th NHRA All Stars Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Super Stock. Jenkins beat Brian Weber and Gary Emmons on the way to the final but broke out against Santangelo.

Congratulations Justin!
