Davis Adds Roush Yates Power to Racing Program
Written by Ian Tocher
SUWANEE, GA — After securing two NHRA divisional titles, five IHRA championships and nearly 100 individual event 
wins, Top Sportsman standout Ronnie Davis recently made a dramatic change to his program by turning to Roush Yates Performance Engine Group for the horsepower beneath the hood of one of his race cars.
Davis owns a pair of Tommy Mauney-built ’63 Corvettes, with his orange car being a single-frame-rail, Top Sportsman-only machine and his black car a double-frame-rail Pro Mod that he occasionally enters in Top Sportsman competition. The Roush Yates (RY) motor powers the black car.
George Gable, a technical director for Roush Yates, said the company looked “long and hard” before deciding Davis was the right racer to lead their entry into the Top Sportsman ranks.

Medford, OR – The West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association’s second stop on their 2011 season schedule was in Medford, 
Oregon at Champion Raceway on July 1-2. A low car count looked to be a setback before the event started but once the cars hit the track it was on and the six racers who did show up put on a great show for the fans and track personnel.
Eventual event winner Rod Burbage was the track ET record holder going into the event at 6.30 which was set back in 2009 when the WCOPMA last raced at Champion Raceway. Long time WCOPMA racer Randy Kay held the track MPH record at 229 which was also set back in 2009. After just the first qualifying session on Friday night this past weekend, both of those track records would be broken and then reset last on during the event.

Does It Ever Not Rain On The Main Event?

Santa Pod Raceway, UK – Memorial Day weekend saw me once again winging my way across the Atlantic Ocean one more time 
bound for England to help my Swiss friend Marcus Hilt with his Corvette.
I just knew it wasn’t going to rain n me this time…. But was I mistaken! I have been to Santa Pod Raceway in England FOUR times and I have been rained on FOUR times!
For those of you who may be interested if you follow this link to our video theater: “Camp Stanley reporting from Santa Pod for 1320TV” you will be able to view my first trip to Santa Pod.
And this trip was no different. There was a test day scheduled for Thursday that we were to participate in but of course that was a complete washout! And as Friday was a day for the Sportsman classes only to qualify there was nothing on for me except for visiting with people. And that I do love to do!
Saturday dawned COLD and WINDY and just a little bit of rain intermittently. We got our two qualifiers in all the while having race car 101 schooling. After weighing the car at the end of the run I realized the TMRC Corvette was 150 pounds OVERWEIGHT for the class.
