The Pennsylvania Derby–CJ Pony Parts NMRA Ford Motorsport Nationals presented by Vortech Superchargers Race Wrap
Santa Ana, CA – On the same weekend that the largest horse race was going down in Kentucky, it was the mechanical 
horses of the NMRA that rocked the rolling hills around Maple Grove Raceway (Reading, PA). Despite the threat of rain for the third straight year, NMRA officials accelerated the racing program and completed the 18th running of the CJ Pony Parts NMRA Ford Motorsport Nationals, presented by Vortech Superchargers, a day earlier than scheduled. The short schedule didn’t short-change the fans as the racing was fast-paced on and off the track, and all but four categories completed their elimination rounds.
VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw saw Manny Buginga climb back to the top of the category he helped define. With help from Mustang drag racing legend Dwayne Gutridge and crew chief Josh Ledford, Buginga spent two days pushing his turbocharged 2003 SVT Cobra quicker and quicker. He found himself in the final round against current point’s leader and top qualifier Andy Manson, who has been nearly unstoppable in 2018. Both Mustangs are powered by DiSomma Racing Engines powerplants, but both supply the boost differently. Buginga relies on a Garrett GTX 98mm turbocharger while Manson sports a ProCharger F-1X-12R. Buginga used his starting-line prowess and left with a .023 light, which proved to be the deciding factor. “Big Red,” as Buginga’s Cobra has been nicknamed, streaked to the finish line first with 4.309 at 170.39 mph run to Manson’s quicker, but losing 4.292 at 170.13 mph.

The Keystone Automotive NMRA Ford Motorsport Nationals returns to Maple Grove Raceway for an action-packed 
weekend of racing May 4-6 as drivers of the world’s fastest Fords return to Eastern Pennsylvania for their only stop of the year in the Northeast.
Already the 2018 season has produced numerous record runs, and with good air usually around the first weekend of May in Pennsylvania, more of those records could be broken. Could we see the first-ever nine-second run in G-Force Racing Transmissions Coyote Stock? It could happen as drivers in this highly competitive sealed engine class have been running in the low-10’s already this year. Another class to keep an eye on is the new Steeda Limited Street class, an entry-level, single power adder class, which debuted at Bradenton back in March.
Racing however isn’t the only thing happening at Maple Grove Raceway the first weekend of May. Along with the great on-track action, there is also plenty going on off the track. Take some time to check out the Manufacturers Midway, where you can talk one-on-one with several performance parts manufacturers about their products for your ride. You can also stroll around the UPR Products All-Ford Car Show, as some of the nicest rides around will be on display both Saturday and Sunday, if you’re looking for some used parts, the Swap Meet may have exactly what you’re looking for.
Whether you’re into classic Ford or Modern Fords, show cars or 200 MPH Street Outlaws, the 18th Annual CJ Pony Parts NMRA Ford Motorsport Nationals Presented by Vortech Superchargers will be able to quench your thirst for all things Ford!
