Muscle Car Madness! 2015 NMCA Season Opener Race Wrap
Santa Ana, CA – There was lots of excitement going into the 13th Annual Ross Racing Pistons NMCA Muscle Car
Nationals that took place March 20-22, 2015 in Bradenton, Florida. With two new classes debuting and the addition of the local Outlaw 632 eighth-mile points race, the action during the NMCA Flowmaster Drag Racing Series season opener did not disappoint!
In VP Racing Fuels Pro Mod new rules for 2015 opened up the class to vehicles with roots or twin-screw superchargers. These alcohol-injected beasts with their raucous exhaust notes emanating from their zoomie headers certainly grabbed everyone’s attention in Bradenton. John Benoit of Vermont made the only five-second run of the weekend with his nitrous car and went number one in qualifying, but the juice didn’t last long. Michael Biehle II in his turbocharged machine and Robert Abbott in his supercharged ’69 Camaro charged to the final. Rumor has it that Abbott was nursing a serious illness all weekend, but he made pass after pass regardless. In the final race of the day, Biehle took the advantage off the line and his twin turbos hauled the mail on the top end with a 6.09/252mph winning performance to Abbott’s 6.17/228. Hopefully Abbott, Rick Sachsel, and Tommy Dwyer will bring their blower cars to Atlanta and make some more noise in the Pro Mod ranks.

NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals kicks off the 2015 season at Bradenton Motorsports Park
Santa Ana, CA – As winter keeps a tight grip on the rest of the country, the NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford
Nationals kicked off its annual tour in typical fashion. The largest All-Ford drag racing tour rolled down to Bradenton Motorsports Park for the Nitto Tire Spring Break Shootout presented by Muscle Mustang and Fast Fords. It was an action-packed event that mixed streetcars, NMRA racecars, and the party element of that time of the year. It was the twenty-first running of the event and NMRA officials added several specialty shootouts to its already packed line-up of racing. All weekend, racers were on the throttle hoping to get into the Aerospace Components Winners Circle!
From the top, VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw saw it come down to the two battered veterans of small-tire racing-defending series champion, John Urist, and the former champion, Phil Hines. This is the third straight year that these two racers have met in the final round of NMRA’s top class. They both have a win credited to them, Hines in 2013 while Urist took the 2014 competition. This year it was Urist taking the win; Hines toasted the tires and Urist streaked to the win with a 6.90 at 204 mph.
