Hootenanny to Award Wallys, STL NHRA Nationals Opportunity Aug. 13-14 at WWT Raceway

MADISON, IL — Heads-up drag racing, PSCA-style, returns to World Wide Technology Raceway Aug. 13-14 with the Premier Street Car Association’s annual Heads Up Hootenanny. Some of the best drivers on the planet will race for a special-edition NHRA Wally, $10,000, and a berth in a Pro Xtreeme exhibition race during the WWTR’s NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Midwest Nationals in September.

With the unfortunate rain-out of SCSN VIII: Radials After Dark this past weekend, all classes racing for a Wally at that event (X275, LDR, and Small Tire N/T) will compete for them at this race. The Pro Mod entry list is a who’s who of the best straight-line performers in the sport, including Bubba Stanton, Frankie “The Madman” Taylor, Mike Recchia, Randy Merick, and Jason Hamstra.

PSCA President Mel Roth is taking the Wallys on the road over the next month, ensuring they are well-traveled and ready to be presented to the best of the best in August.

ENNIS, TX — He’s won the NHRA US Nationals, he’s won the biggest small-tire races in the country, and now Alex Laughlin has a Street Car Super Nationals victory. The native Texan earned a home-state victory early Sunday morning at the inaugural EliteHP SCSN: Dallas at the Texas Motorplex. As the sun rose at the conclusion of the overnight festival of speed, Laughlin powered his brand-new Hot Wheels Corvette to the win over Dan Myers.

Making the win extra special was the fact it came on Father’s Day with his dad onhand, four years after earning the NHRA Pro Stock victory in Bristol, also on Father’s Day.

“First win of 2021 and it feels realllll nice!!!” Laughlin said in a post on his verified Instagram account @alexlaughlin40. “We ran the final directly into the sunrise, so that’s a first for me. Huge thanks to Marty Robertson and Elite HP for getting us out here. It’s also rad that it’s the first time to have the car out as a life-size Hot Wheels car too! What a weekend… Seriously, what. a. weekend.”

Event promoter Mel Roth was pleased with the race, from the co-promotion from Team Boddie which was key in attracting some of the nation’s best racers, to the incredible track prep by Andy Carter’s crew.

Summers Earns Pro Mod Win at a Unique SCSN 16 in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS— While one of the most challenging yet, the COMP Cams Street Car Super Nationals 16 Presented by FuelTech provided a much-needed weekend of grassroots drag racing at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With COVID-19 restrictions heavy due to the pandemic surging through America since March, fans and racers did their parts to ensure they were masked and socially distanced throughout the event in accordance to state directives.

“We cannot thank everyone enough for this weekend,” said Mel Roth, Street Car Super Nationals promoter. “A lot of people didn’t think we were going to pull it off and there were a couple times where it was close. But we want to thank the elected officials of Nevada for working with us to allow a limited number of spectators to watch in person.

“I don’t know what the future holds, but being able to bring a little bit of normalcy to the drag racing world for a weekend felt good.”

In the COVID Era, Safety a Priority for SCSN 16 in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS — Over the course of a full day of racing at the COMP Cams Street Car Super Nationals 16 Presented by FuelTech at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Saturday, hundreds of cars launched down the world-class track. Amazing side-by-side passes were made. Some wheel-standing race cars went nearly vertical. American muscle and Detroit iron blasted down the superbly-prepared racing surface.

All watched and taken in by masked fans following the directives of the state of Nevada.

COVID-19 has changed most of the ways of life Americans considered normal since mid-March. Sports, including racing, have been limited greatly, including events where fans are either allowed in minimal numbers or, in some instances, not at all.

SCSN 16 Promoter Mel Roth said he is both amazed and proud of the way racers and fans have reacted to the edicts the state of Nevada has laid down to ensure the safety of large-event participants.

“This is what a family does,” Roth said. “The vast majority of the folks at the race understand that while the masks may be burdensome at times, the reasons for wearing them are important. Our fans and racers know we’re under scrutiny so they’ve done everything they can to make sure this race could be run as close to normal as possible. I just can’t say enough how much I love these people.”
