Neal Chance Racers Barnstorm Through September

It’s already been a spectacular month of September in the drag racing world that kicks off the always-exciting fall season around the sport, and Neal Chance Racing Converters and their customers have been right at the center of it all, collecting some of the most prestigious victories and impressive records of the season.

Mike Janis began the month on a high note, winning his first career NHRA U.S. Nationals title at the Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis on Labor Day weekend in Pro Modified, defeating Rickie Smith in the final round with a 5.95, earning the biggest win of his career over a host of clutch cars with an NCRC torque converter.

Another of Neal Chance’s esteemed customers, David Pearson, laid down some stout numbers a week later with his Outlaw 275 Fox body Mustang, utilizing NCRC’s new BB2 torque converter to propel his ride to a 4.44 at 166 mph at North Carolina’s Shadyside Dragway. Pearson’s performance earned him the win, as he downed Jason Tyson with a 4.59 in the final round.

Elsewhere in North Carolina, the stars of the ADRL rolled into the Rockingham Dragway for Dragstock X, the serie’s oldest and most prestigious race, where Al-Anabi Racing’s Von Smith kicked off the festivities for the Neal Chance squad on the opening night of the event, taking his supercharged Camaro to the Pro Extreme Battle for the Belts title, defeating Tommy D’Aprile in an all-NCRC finale for the $50,000 winners prize. Alex Hossler notched another highlight on the weekend with a new national record elapsed time of 3.565 at 211.76 mph, which was closely followed by fellow Neal Chance racers Frankie Taylor (3.575) and Brandon Snider (3.591) in the 3.5-second zone. Snider put an exclamation on the weekend to close the event, scoring his first Pro Extreme victory with a final round defeat of Hossler, 3.62 to 3.75.

Outlaw 10.5 racer Mike Decker also notched a win at Dragstock with his NCRC-equipped, supercharged Camaro, winning for the second race in a row with a 4.50 in the final after qualifying No. 3 with a 4.30.

And finally, as we reported earlier this week, Neal Chance’s English banner carrier, Andy Frost, powered his twin-turbocharged Vauxhall to the quickest and fastest pass in history by a street legal, street-driven doorslammer, running 6.403 at 229.31 mph at the FIA’s European Finals at the Santa Pod Raceway. Frost was 1.09 to sixty feet and 4.24 to the half-track, but believes those numbers are only another trip to the track away from falling, as he shoots for the 6.30’s before year’s end.
