B & B Race Cars News -
Justin Lamb took home a big win at the NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 29th. He was racing his B & B Cobalt in SS/CM and collected a Wally for his efforts. Justin cut the tree down and ran a 8.586 beating Dave Rayborn and his slower reacting 8.589 in the final round of eliminations.
This makes the third win Justin has collected at Sonoma, and his Ninth at a National Event. We have a feeling that track is going to be a favorite of his in the future!
Our customers qualified quite well at the NMCA Super Bowl. Darren was driving Don Baskin's GTO in Nostalgia Pro Street, and it was the only car that picked up in the heat of the day. Darren qualified the GTO in #2 spot with a 7.293@188.36. Dave Beeson ran some killer numbers making his competitors worried during qualifying, he busted off a 7.17 in qualifying putting him in the #1 spot and also set a new NMCA NPS ET and MPH record!!
Darren went to the semi's and Dave went on to runner up in the final round. He didn't quite take enough power out to hook the monster Camaro and it spun a little to much letting Joe Bucaro get out on him. You can't complain too much when you can take home runner up money and a New National Record set in the heat of the summer! That still makes for a great weekend of racing in our book! Beeson's Camaro is one of the earliest cars turned out by B & B, and we're excited to see it still out not only going strong, but setting records too! Way to go Dave!
Sean Cour won the NHRA Best Appearing award at Route 66 Chicago in their B & B Built Cobalt! Hard to miss this bright paint job!
Brina Splingaire from North Riverside, Illinois had a good first outing in her new B & B Super Stock Cobalt. At the NHRA Route 66 Nationals she went several rounds and won Best Engineering Award!
B & B's Darren Breaud was driving Don Baskin's GTO in Nostalgia Pro Street at MIR. Darren outran heavy hitter Kevin Parent in the final round with a 7.33 over Parent's 7.38. The Goat was definitely working, it laid down the fastest 60' in the class with a 1.07, not just once but 3 times!
Phil Smith won his first Xtreme Street race in his new B & B built Trans Am. Phil beat Bob Curran in the final round at MIR and ran a 8.02 solidly defeating Curran's 8.18. Phil had the T/A locked in running solid 8 oh's all day making him extremely tough to beat!
Congratulations Phil!!!
Bennie Ryburn from Arkansas picked up his new Drag Pak Challenger this week. We really loved the old school graphics!
And yes, it's got a HEMI!
We would like to congratulate Sean Cour on his NHRA Division 6 win in Boise at Firebird Raceway. Sean running in GT/BA defeated Tom Nolan in the Super Stock final round with a 9.428@133.84 over Nolan's 9.454@139.88.
Way to go Sean!

Marty's going to run the new car in X275, a very popular Heads Up Drag Radial Class. In case you're wondering, Marty's a hard core Dodge man, and it will be Dodge Powered with P5 Billet Heads and a F1X Procharger. Stay tuned, this will be a cool and unique race car...

New Shop - Click for Photos
B & B Race Cars and Hohenwald Fabrication announced the move to a much larger shop right after New Years.
The new building located in Hohenwald, at 228 Industrial Ave. has 66,000 sq. ft. of space and has lots of storage and parking available. We began moving cars and equipment on the 19th of January and by the 16th of February we had most everything moved over to the new shop. And it all fits!
It was a very busy month for the crew at B & B and a lot of work moving everything but they knocked it out in record time.
B & B now is offering Rig Storage, both inside and outside available so give us a call if you need a safe place to store your Rig. We also have 35,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space available, again call for details if you need some space.
