HP
Racers Aim To Win First SEJRA Championships At Silver Dollar
Raceway Sept 25-26
.jpg)
The final points race in
the South-East Junior Racing Association is quickly
approaching, and many Huddleston Performance racers are
positioned to take home championships. We have 12.90, 8.90,
and 7.90 competitors leading or tied for the points lead in
5 different classes going into the deciding race of the
season.
In the younger racers,
it is Isaac Evans leading the charge with his HP Pea Shooter
Package. He is currently tied for the points lead in the
12.90 Index in a 2 horse race for the championship. By going
further than fellow SEJRA racer Maddie-Kate Halsey, Isaac will
lock up the championship for 2010. Not only is he in a
points battle for the 12.90 championship, but young Isaac
also has a significant points lead in the 8 & 9 Year Old
class going into the final event. A points lead of nearly 4
rounds is going to make Isaac tough to overcome Sunday at
Silver Dollar Raceway.
Our 8.90 competitors
have an even tougher road ahead of them, as many of the top
points earners are Huddleston Performance combinations. In
the 8.90 Index it's Huddleston Performance 8.90
engines/packages occupying 5 out of the top 6 positions in
the points. Emilee Novak has built over a 3 round points
lead going into the final event. It will be Emilee fighting
off the likes of Kiefer Quick, Brody Quick, Charlie Smith,
Preston Tanner, and Mitchell Seymour at the final event of
the 2010 season. In addition to battling for the 8.90
championship, Kiefer Quick and Mitchell Seymour will also be
gunning for the 10-12 Year Old Age Group Championship on
Sunday. Kiefer
has held a substantial points lead all year, but Mitchell
was able to close the gap at Bristol gaining as incredible 6
rounds in one event.
Our 7.90 racers are also
being well represented by Alabama natives Rebekah Evans and
Cody Barnhart. Rebekah is currently tied for the points lead
in the $1,000 All-Run Bracket class. In one of the tightest
battles in the SEJRA, if Beka can continue going rounds as
she has all season she will win a very well deserved
championship for 2010. Cody Barnhart is currently fighting
to take over the points lead in the 13 & Up points
championship. He is currently second in points, only one
round out of the lead. A good showing at the final event
could land Cody his second series championship in as many
years.
We want to wish
all of our racers good luck at the final SEJRA event,
September 25-26 at Silver Dollar Raceway. It's been a long
season, with a lot of great battles. We are excited to see
how many of our team can bring home championships in 2010.

Richards Collects First National Championship at ECF's in
First Outing With HP 3.5" Heavy
.jpg)
In his first outing with
his new HP 3.5" Heavy combination, Dillon Richards was able
to win the toughest race of them all. The Richards
team came to Bristol with a combination that had not made a
pass prior to the Eastern Conference Finals. After running a
7.898 on his last time trial, Dillon was ready to mow
through the field of competition.
Shortly into the race it
was obvious both Dillon and his hotrod were on target for
the day. A string of great reaction times, and multiple
dead-on passes helped Mr. Richards earn a berth in the final
round. After a team effort to get the car fueled, cooled,
and ready to run, Dillon was ready to take on his last
competitor. In the highest pressure round in Jr. Dragster
Racing Dillon handled it like a pro. When the ambers fell he
was off with an outstanding .010 light. Shortly after 330 ft
came the sound of pedaling and the growing excitement from
the Richards team. When the
scoreboards lit up Dillon had run a pedaling 8.10 on his
8.00 dial to bring home the race win.
We want to congratulate
Dillon Richards and his entire team on the huge win. Coming
into the Nationals with a new, untested motor and bringing
home the win is a true testament to the Richards
team and the HP Engine combinations.
