Written by Ray Wilkings   

Los Angeles, CA – The schedule won’t be “official” until we send out a press release, but here is some long awaited information. I have six tracks committed to hosting an event this year. 

I am still working on a seventh and final event in the Western U.S. We will be going to South Georgia Motorsports Park (GA), Tulsa Raceway Park (OK), No Problem Raceway Park (LA), Cordova Dragway Park (IL), Milan Dragway (MI), and Lebanon Valley Dragway (NY). These are all great NHRA member tracks that are excited to have the opportunity to host an Unleashed event.  They will all enthusiastically welcome the racers of NHRA Unleashed, and I KNOW that you will support them in force.

The classes that we will be featuring for 2011 will be Outlaw 10.5, Limited Street, X275 Radial, 8.50 Index, 9.50 Index, 10.0 Index, 11.0 Index, 12.0 Index, and 13.0 Index. The 2011 NHRA Unleashed Rules will be released soon.  There will be some changes in the Outlaw 10.5, and Limited Street classes to accommodate more cars. The X275 Radial class will be added, and the index classes will be updated to the 2011 NHRA Rulebook.

Davis Does NHRA Unleashed in Atlanta

By Ian Tocher

COMMERCE, GA – Participating in the National Hot Rod Association’s inaugural NHRA Unleashed event at Atlanta Dragway, Suwanee, Georgia’s Ronnie Davis qualified his 1963 Corvette in first-place for the highly competitive Dixie Pro Mod class.

Davis followed up with a dominating win in the opening round of eliminations, but his day ended prematurely when something in his nitrous-injected, 822 cubic-inch engine broke during preparations for a semi-final race against Robert Mathis.

“It just started vibrating really hard in the middle of the burnout, so I just shut it off,” Davis explained. “I thought at first the timing belt had failed, but it’s something else; I’ll have to take it apart and figure it out when I get home.”

Davis was hoping to repeat his performance from last month at Rockingham (NC) Dragway, where he won the International Hot Rod Association’s (IHRA’s) Spring Nitro Jam Elite 8 race for Top Sportsman entries.
