last week’s Funny Car Fever event at Sacramento Raceway. Burbage started the weekend by qualifying #2 with a 6.14 @ 238mph and then making two more consecutive 6.14 laps through qualifying and eliminations. For the finals, Burbage’s tuner, Lonnie Houde knew he had to step the car up.

Meadors, Goodguys Racing Camaro Run Career Best Numbers in Season’s First Outing
Sacramento, CA – The Goodguys Racing Pro Mod ’69 Camaro hit the track for the first time this season over the 
weekend at Sacramento Raceway Park competition during the 29th annual Funny Car Fever event. Racing in the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod category, driver Marc Meadors instantly felt the performance gains from a brand new combination, unloading a career best 6.19 @ 237mph off the trailer!
The Camaro’s new motor combo (installed over the winter to include “Brad 6” hemi cylinder heads, an Mike Stawicki Racing Performance 60mm camshaft and a MSR hand fabricated sheet metal intake manifold) gave the Goodguys Racing team the additional horsepower to play with. Competing with a 451-inch Brad Anderson hemi with roots blower has always differentiated the Goodguys Camaro as the bulk of the other competitors in the WCOPM group run 526-inch hemi‘s with screw-type blowers.

Doug Morgan and Buddy Forrest Ready Battle in Quick 32 Sportsman Series
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK – The dragster team of Morgan and Forrest had a successful first year in the Quick 32 
Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts, and team crew chief Doug Morgan said he and driver Buddy Forrest are prepared to take the momentum into this year’s tour.
“We’re ready to rock,” said Morgan, who along with Forrest race in the series’ Top Dragster class. “We’re looking forward to it. We had a successful season last year.”
The Rochester, New York-based team competes with a Spitzer Enterprises dragster, powered by a 638-cubic inch Chevy engine using a nitrous oxide system. The power goes through a two-speed Powerglide to the rear slicks.
The team did not compete in the first event of 2009, but had a good showing for the remaining five events in the six-event tour, qualifying for all other races. Along with a runner-up spot in the Top Dragster class during the Labor Day race at Grand Bend, the team finished the season in style with an overall win during the final Quick 32 Sportsman Series race late in September at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario.
Morgan said there are no major changes to the car for 2010.
