Look Again
Can you find the differences in these two Pics?

Kevin Wayman, from Utah, qualified number one in Fallon at the division event then piloted his ride into the winner's circle in Top Alcohol Dragster. He ran Dennis Swearingen in the final. Friend, crewmember and racer Jaren Mott tuned the car. Jaren also ran against Kev in the semifinals.

Waymans were unstoppable this weekend! Some highlights were a recorded run of 5.540 seconds at 256.84 mph in the final and of course the new track record .905 in 60 FT!! Seriously!! Way Man! (couldn't resist that) No doubt they are ecstatic with the new kickin clutch! Shout out to all of you! Flat awesome

Congrats to Wayman family and crew!

Junior Drivers have a great time in Colorado

The Top Sportsman team of “BAD” Bob Thompson and Tony “HOT ROD” Hopkins ran into some trouble at the Seattle Div6-4 race Saturday evening. The track had been rained on for two days and oiled down several times earlier in the left lane. Then the temp dropped like a rock after the sun went down and after two pairs in front of Tony got out of shape on the top end; during his run, the Firebird broke lose just past 1000’ making a dramatic move to the right and then back left hitting the wall just past the finish line causing it to roll up on its lid. The car slid upside down for ~300 yards before coming to a flaming stop. Tony, seeing the passenger side door gone, unbelted and bailed out. With a tore up race car and no injuries, Tony luckily walked away. After the crash the racing community came forward to help. As you can see from the pictures the car was dropped off at Leon Elliot’s shop for chassis repairs. Several racers came forward and donated either cash or their services to get the car back on the track ASAP. Tony is currently 8^th in points and has a real chance to move up when the car gets back on the track. We know that any help would be welcome with whatever you think appropriate, including just plain old encouragement and well wishes.  Please contact Bob or Tony at hotshoes99@Q.com  or  hoptoit5@comcast.net

Videos from the Nitro Nats are coming soon!

Thanks to Western Colorado dragway for putting on an AWESOME event for the Jr. dragster racers. Due to the recent change of venues at RMR the kids were looking for a team. We were a little apprehensive of how we would be received while traveling to another track in hopes of being given the opportunity to race with their raceteam of Junior drivers. The hospitality we received at WCD was phenomenal! Eleven Jr. racers from Utah made the trip and let me tell you it was a Great time. Drag n Butt racing, the staff and participants at Western Colorado Raceway know how to put on an event! Here is a small sampling of the Fun everyone enjoyed.

1st place winners in each class received $50.00 Savings Bond, $100.00 Gift Certificate for Drag N Butt Racing Motorsports, a trophy plaque and a HUGE gift bag full of gifts.
2nd place winners in each class will received a $50.00 Gift Certificate for Drag N Butt Racing Motorsports, a trophy, a BRAND NEW HELMET and other gifts also presented in a gift bag.
Semifinalist winners in each class received, $25.00 Gift Certificate for Drag N Butt Racing Motorsports and you guessed it-a large gift bag with gifts.

Lunch was provided for EVERYONE for FREE including all racers, their crews, and racetrack staff.

There were also video game simulators for the kids to race and Gift Bags for every participant! Some of the items in each gift bag were racing T-shirts, a drink cup (nice ones that you freeze the insert and it keeps the drink cold), gift cards to Dairy Queen for $5.00, Frisbee, beach ball, bubbles, Hot Wheel car, squishy ball, squirt gun, candy, and too much other stuff to list. That is what EVERY driver received before the event even started! Prizes were offered through out the event such as a bounty on the number one and number two qualifiers. Even a starting line photo where they waited until each and every driver was present. The lunch was tasty and all you could eat grilled burgers, hot dogs, Bratwurst, potato chips of every variety, drinks, desserts, watermelon and on and on.

It was just amazing how friendly everyone was!

Race results were:
        Ricky Bax won 12-16 year old B class
        Mason Ingram won 8-11 year old A Class
        Shawn Hart runnered up to Mason in A Class
        Drew Andersen runnered up in Consolation bracket
