Pacific Street Car Association officials revealed on Thursday that Top Comp, a fast bracket category designed for NHRA-approved dragsters, doorslammers, and altereds running 8.60 and quicker, will return to the Pacific Street Car Association lineup beginning at the MagnaFuel Las Vegas Nationals April 27-29.
Lucas Oil, a strong supporter of grassroots racing, will provide title sponsorship for the exciting category.
“Lucas Oil has partnered with Mel at the PSCA to bring back the Top Comp class to allow some of our high horse powered dragsters and door cars that could only race bracket one due to electronics used on the race cars,” said Lucas Oil Products Director of Motorsports Tom Bogner. “I feel this is a great class as our fans want to see fast cars and with the cars having to run a 8.60 to get into the field every car will be fast and even if using a throttle stop the vehicle will not be on it very long so the fans will be entertained.”
“I like the fact as well that if you fail to qualify for the field you can run Bracket 1 so is our racers have the potential for 2 classes and lots of seat time.”
The Lucas Oil Top Comp class will be contested at four PSCA events in 2012, including the aforementioned Las Vegas Nationals April 27-29, along with the Slick Mist Drags Sept. 7-9 and the Mickey Thompson Tires West Coast Nationals Oct. 5-7, also at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, as well as a TBA date expected to come at a later date.
“We’re very thankful that Lucas Oil has stepped up to partner with us to add yet another great class to our program,” said PSCA President Mel Roth. “The entire Lucas Oil family of products have provided results for both our racers and our fans and we’re proud to represent them at our events.”
