Brooke Miller Continues To Rule NT Jr. Class as Competitors Close Gap, Repeats as WoooStock Champion

You've seen it for a few years now, Brooke Miller has reigned as the Queen of NT Jr. Racing. This past weekend at Darlington Dragway she was able to continue you that success by repeating as the Woostock NT Jr. Champion.

This year's event brought the toughest competition yet, as it was the largest NT field we've seen and had the quickest cars in the mix. In the semi's it was an all Huddleston Performance show, as Brooke found herself standing next to Maizie Martin and Jace Bynum for a spot in the finals. All 3 driver's came loaded with their HP Turn-Key Cars, but it would be Brooke and Maizie coming out on top to face off in the championship round.

Both driver's came to the starting line in their Huddleston Performance prepped Turn-Key Cars. It would show in their performance too, as they were virtually identical off the starting line and stayed glued together through the entire run! At the stripe it would be Brooke by the slightest of margins taking the win, giving Maizie the Runner-Up in her first NT event ever, and crowning herself the repeat Champion of the Wooostock event!

We want to send a big thanks out to the crew at Darlington Dragway for putting together a great event in these hard times. They're setting an outstanding example for the rest of the country on getting our tracks back open. Great job to all involved with this facility to put on events like this during these times, go race with them if you get the opportunity!

If you want to win while you're there racing with them, get with us to make that happen. Any combo you need, we can help you succeed with it!

Huddleston Performance Introduces Next Generation 7.90 Engine, HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate Raises the Bar In Jr. Racing

**Note to Readers: Remember the time and date you read this. This new engine will have many copy cat forms over the coming years. There will only be ONE original version of all these items.**

Bo Huddleston and the team at Huddleston Performance have been hard at work creating a new level of 7.90 Jr. Dragster Engine. We began with one of the most accomplished Jr. Engines on the planet, the HP 7.90 Sniper Lite. From there many hours of design work have gone into building the most advanced Jr. Engine the sport has seen, with over 40 changes helping to extend both longevity and consistency. (Yes we think we can improve even from the Championship leading HP 7.90 Sniper Lite. :)) These countless hours have resulted in what you see, the new HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate!

The HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate is stronger in nearly every direction. The base starts out with an all new, Huddleston Performance exclusive, Billet 1 1/8" Crankshaft. We felt this was an absolutely necessary starting point for the new combination. Many of you are familiar with the more standard 7/8" and 1" journal crankshafts. Reality is, in 7.90 competition, no version of a 7/8" crankshaft is good enough in ANY ENGINE. For that reason, we at Huddleston Performance worked with ARC to produce the first ever 3" stroke, 1" crankshaft over 15 years ago. The 1" has been the standard in Jr. Racing since then, until today when the new HP 1 1/8" Crankshaft is setting a new bar!

From there, the proprietary parts list and the strength of this engine continue to grow! All new HP exclusive Connecting Rods, HP exclusive Lifters, HP exclusive and larger than ever made Cam Gears, Improved Crank and Camshaft Bearing Layout, Thicker Cylinder Sleeve, Larger Diameter Valve Seats, the list of stronger parts is nearly endless! These parts are just a sneak peak at the internals which set the new HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate apart from every other engine on the market today.

Internal parts are only part of the improvements brought to the new HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate. For the first time in Jr. Dragster history there is an engine which includes an HP Oil Pan System! This new system gives a larger crankcase volume which allows for the use of more oil within your expensive engine. More oil capacity means the dilution of metal shed throughout racing your combo. Cleaner oil equals more longevity for all of the parts in your engine! (ALL OF THE PARTS IN YOUR ENGINE!!) The new HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate has an oil carrying capacity of 20 ounces, and with the built in baffle system, you will actually race on those 20 ounces!

The external improvements continue all around the HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate. A new improved Head Bolt Pattern helps to minimize blown head gaskets, built in Crank Support comes standard, removable Cam Bearing boss allows for easy change bearings, PVL Ignition incorporates the latest in Jr. Ignitions, optional 40mm or 42mm HP Carburetors, as with the internal parts, the list of external improvements goes on and on!

We currently have a few R & D HP 7.90 Sniper Ultimate's racing throughout the country. They have found the Winner's Circle many times in 2017, with one of them already claiming its first Championship! Don't get left behind, or settle for the copied version of the latest Jr. Dragster technology, call Huddleston Performance today for the best 7.90 Jr. Dragster Engine ever created!

Huddleston Performance Lowmad Debuts AJPE 5300 Combo, Finds Winner's Circle at Memphis Super Chevy Show


The Huddleston Family came into their opening race of the season with more questions than answers, entering the Memphis Super Chevy Show with a brand new AJPE 5300 engine between the historic wagon's framerails. As the weekend went on, the answers became more clear until they found themselves sitting in the Winner's Circle on the new combinations maiden trip into competition!


The weekend began promising as Thomas Huddleston put the Lowmad in the #2 qualifying spot with a nice 3.78 run early in qualifying. A conservative approach to the new package would prove to be the key on Sunday. High winds made things difficult for teams, but the Lowmad marched straight down broadway each run to find itself in the final round. The finals saw the Huddleston Team come up against Tim Segars and his Batman Team. It would be over early as Segars left the red light glowing, helping to put the Lowmad in the Winner's Circle for the first time with the Huddleston Team.


Lowmad Driver Thomas Huddleston couldn't have been more excited for the new combos performance and his first Pro Modified victory, "What a great weekend! We came into this deal with realistic expectations, but hopes we could make some noise with this new engine program. To qualify at the top of the pack and bring home the race win in our first outing is unbelievable. I'm excited to get more data on this combination, we have a lot of horsepower we just have to be smart enough to use it. The rest of 2016 should be fun as we figure out this 5300 combination."


The Lowmad Team would like to thank all of their 2016 Marketing Partners: Huddleston Performance, Alan Johnson Performance Engineering, PTC Converters, Butler Performance, OverKill Motorsports, Hoosier Tires, and DragCoverage.com.

We are looking forward to heading west in June, and look forward to meeting a lot of new racers while we’re there!”

Tulsa Raceway Park general manager Don Ellison equaled the Huddleston Performance excitement on the new partnership, “Tulsa Raceway Park is very excited to host the Western Conference Finals, bringing racers from across the United States and Canada to compete for the conference championship.

The new engines are currently being finished for fitment to the 55’ Chevy Wagon, and both AJPE and the Huddleston Family are looking forward to the results from these powerful pieces.

Lowmad Driver and Huddleston Performance head engine builder Thomas Huddleston is thrilled with the new partnership, “We couldn’t ask for better people to work with on our Pro Extreme Program. We were looking to get outside the normal in 2016, and after some conversations with the guys at AJPE it became clear they were the right people for us. I’m excited to see what kind of numbers we can put up with this new combo. We will have quite a bit more horsepower than last season, and I think the results will show that as we progress in 2016.”

AJPE is just as eager to welcome Bo, Tammy, and Thomas Huddleston to their 5.300 Hemi Program in 2016. Owner Alan Johnson had this to say about the upcoming partnership, “Up until recently, Outlaw Pro-Modified did not have a minimum weight in place which made our 5.300 Hemi program unappealing to anyone considering an engine of this size. With changes the Huddleston’s have put in place to the “LOWMAD” along with several engine upgrades from the AJPE design team, we believe this will be a great fit for both AJPE and Huddleston Performance during the 2016 race season.”

The first of two 5.300 Hemi’s is scheduled for delivery by mid-January, and will hit the race track shortly after.

Brady Fomby Racks Up Round Wins at Final SEJRA Event, Grabs

10-12 Age Group with HP 8.90 Turn-Key Car

Brady Fomby capped off a nearly perfect season with a nearly perfect weekend. After collecting an Eastern Conference Finals win, a Division 2 Finals win, and MRP Track Championship, Brady came into the SEJRA final event looking to cap off an amazing season.

After taking Runner-Up honors in 8.90 Index, and winning the Golf Cart Race Friday night, Brady came into Saturday ready to get another win. He marched through the tough 10-12 Age Group to find himself in yet another Winner's Circle! In the finals Brady took a slight starting line advantage, and his HP 8.90 Assassin Turn-Key Car did its job running an 8.92 on the 8.91 dial to earn the win!

Congratulations to Brady and the entire Fomby team on a great win, and a dream 2015 season!

Stellar Driving and Ultra Consistent Ride Earns Andrew Green SEJRA Left-Over Nationals 7.90 Index Win

Andrew Green has been marching through the round wins in 2015. Everything from All-Run victories, to local race wins, Andrew has found the Winner's Circle a number of times throughout this season. The SEJRA Left-Over Nationals were nothing new for him, as he put his HP 7.90 Lite Package powered machine into the MRP Winner's Circle to end the 2015 season!

Andrew nearly knocked the tree over in the final round as he took a big starting line advantage with his .015 reaction time. That would give him a big advantage all the way down the track. He was able to pedal his ride to back into the competition and earn the victory with a slowing 8.043 on the 7.90 Index.

Congratulations to Andrew and his family on a great win, and an even better 2015 season!

In the finals Mitchell was set on kill at both the starting line and finish line. As the ambers flashed he was off with an outstanding .007 light. That would be more than enough, but just to be sure, Mitchell was just as close at the finish line with his HP 7.90 Heavy Package. His 8.024 on his 8.01 dial left no room for his competition to get into as he grabbed the win and another great payday!

We want to congratulate Mitchell and his family on an outstanding end to their 2015 season!

She followed that up with a Gambler's Race win Saturday night to keep a perfect record for the entire day! Sunday saw the Mid Atlantic Championship main event start. Allison would continue her perfect record for the weekend as she took home the Mid Atlantic Championship victory!

In the semi finals Mitchell was nearly perfect for the win. He was off the line with an outstanding .011 light which would be enough to take the victory. In the finals Mitchell was nearly perfect again, except this time it was on the big end where he neared perfection with his HP 7.90 Heavy Package. He was off the line with a great .031 light, and coupled that with a dead on 7.908 on his 7.90 dial to take home another race win!

PDRA Pro Jr. Dragster fields are always the tightest around. That is why Mitchell wasn't worried in the least entering eliminations from the #15 qualifying position. Though qualified low, he went a nice 7.936 to earn a spot on race day. He would use a string of great runs to find himself in the Winner's Circle. In the finals Mitchell used a big holeshot to grab the win, his .042 light and a pedaling 7.950 would be more than enough to grab yet another PDRA victory for him and his team!

After a season which has seen him go from 8.90 to 7.90 seamlessly, collecting wins all along the way, he has now topped that by collecting yet another Western Conference Championship.

In his 8.90 days, Cade dominated the West Coast, winning multiple Championships and 2 Western Conference Finals Championships with his HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Package. His first months of 7.90 competition with his HP 7.90 Lite Package didn't look much different as he won a number of races in California before heading into his first WCF with his new combo. Cade would begin marching through the rounds as we have seen from him for years now, and this time he would end up in the Winner's Circle again and the history books forever! Cade mowed through a tough 13 Year Old Age Group to not only grab his third WCF Championship, but also a piece of history as the only 3 time Conference Finals Champion in Jr. Dragster history. Regardless of 8.90 or 7.90, Cade has cemented himself as one of the best to ever sit in a Jr.

We want to congratulate Cade and the Poe Racing Team on one of the best accomplishments seen in the Jr. World. Huddleston Performance is proud to have been by your side through all of your Championship runs!

Paying a guaranteed $5,000 to the Winner, last year's shootout was a huge success.

The Runner-Up will collect $2,000 and the Semi Finalists will grab a cool $1,000 a piece for their effort!

Save this page so you can reference it quickly on June 24th!

The race itself will take place Monday, July 20th at 5 p.m. during the Week at Thunder Valley. It will begin at the conclusion of the Time Trial day currently on the schedule, and no time trials will be given for the $5K Shootout. So if you are one of the lucky 64 to get entered, be sure to jump in the Test-N-Tune on Monday to ensure you get some hits at the tree before your chance at $5,000!

This past weekend Allyson was able to use great reaction times, great driving, and a consistent hotrod to grab the early season win.

Ashton Frazier Continues Dominance of Southwest, Collects 2 Race Wins and 13 Straight Round Wins

 

 

Ashton Frazier has been on fire since taking delivery of his HP Assassin 7.90 Lite Turn-Key Car. A number of race wins made his 2014 season a great one, and he's already off to a strong start in 2015. This weekend Ashton grabbed the victory not only in his Age Group, but also in the Gambler's Race!

 

Ashton started the weekend strong in his Age Group by grabbing the race win. He put together a nearly unbeatable package in the finals with a nice .021 light and ran a dead on 7.903 on his 7.90 dial. That wouldn't be good enough for him though, he backed that up by taking home the win in the Gambler's Race that same day. He put together an even better package in that final with an amazing .011 light and dead on 7.902 for the victory! Ashton took home an astounding 13 straight round wins to grab 2 wins and go undefeated for the weekend.

 

Dad, Crew Chief, and Car Owner Niles Frazier had this to say of their HP Assassin Turn-Key Car, "The Assassin is the best car on the planet. We went 13 rounds in a row without a loss. Car did amazing and got our first win (or wins) of the 2015 season. Thank you guys for building an awesome machine!"

 

We want to congratulate Ashton on a great weekend of racing, and thank them for being such a great representative of Huddleston Performance!

Makenna Brown and her team are some of the most recognizable in the Jr. World. Pair that with outstanding driving, along with great hardware and you have the perfect mix for a lot of race wins!

Makenna continued her great Jr. Career this past weekend by bringing her brand new 2015 HP Assassin 7.90 Lite Turn-Key Car to Pacemakers Dragway where she would find the Winner's Circle yet again. Makenna opened the weekend by grabbing the race win in the Junior Major Class. Consistent driving and a consistent hot rod gave her everything she needed to grab the early season win! She would then follow that up with a Runner-Up finish in the Pacemakers Second Chance Race that afternoon!

Congratulations to Makenna and the entire Jegs Team on a great win, and a great start with their new 2015 HP Assassin TK Car.

Benjamin Spotts Makes 8.90 to 7.90 Transition Look Easy, Takes First Win at Numidia Dragway

Benjamin Spotts didn't take long to find the Winner's Circle with his brand new HP 7.90 Sniper Lite Package. In fact, he marched right through the first field that he entered in 7.90 action. Great driving and a deadly consistent ride helped Benjamin not only get his first win of 2015 but also his first in 7.90 competition!

Benjamin and his crew chief Marlin Spotts came into the weekend with no test data on their new HP 7.90 Sniper Lite Package. That wouldn't be an issue for the proven 8.90 competitor though, as he put together a string of great packages to take home the win in his first outing!

We would like to say a big congratulations to Benjamin on the perfect start to his 7.90 career!

Shinski Family Puts New Hardware in Winner Circle First Weekend Out at I-29 Dragway

The Shinski Family has been Team HP for many years now. For the past few seasons you have read about big brother Adam Shinski doing all the winning with his HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Package. Now there is a second Shinski in the mix as little brother Simon Shinski has joined the 11.90 ranks, and it appears as though the race wins will be doubling with Simon in the seat!

Simon started the weekend off strong with his brand new HP 11.90 Pea-Shooter Package. His first run of 11.889, on a new combo with no testing, set the tone for the weekend in the 8&9 Year Old Division. He marched his way through the competition and found himself in the Winner's Circle for the first time in 2015. His great driving and the tuning of his father Charles Shinski, helped put their HP 11.90 Pea-Shooter Package out front in its debut!

Not to be out done, older brother Adam Shinski parked himself beside his brother in the Winner's Circle with his new HP 7.90 Sniper Lite Package. In the same fashion, Adam didn't get any test time before the season began. He found his groove early on in the seat, and his crew chief dialed the car in expertly in a short amount of time to grab the win!

We want to congratulate the entire Shinski Family on not only grabbing a pair of wins, but doing so in their first weekend on with new combos!

Jones Brothers Dominate Middle Tennesee Dragway with HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Combos

The Jones Brothers, Kaden and Colby, have been racking up the wins at Middle Tennessee Dragway over the past year or 2 with their HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. combos. This past weekend they pulled off a feat that is rarely seen in Jr. Racing, both brothers found the Winner's Circle in one weekend!

Both Kaden and Colby came to Middle Tennessee Dragway looking to collect more hardware with their HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. combos. Not only would each of them collect more hardware, but they wouldn't leave much for the rest of the competitions as they took both race wins this past Saturday night!

We want to congratulate both Kaden and Colby on an outstanding evening at the racetrack!

Mia Schultz Rocks IHRA Nitro Jam, Earns First Ironman of 2015 in Bradenton, FL

Mia and her team traveled all the way from Virginia to join the IHRA party in Florida. After a long haul like that, Mia made sure the family took home the hardware to make the trip worth while. A string of nice lights and a consistent car provided by Crew Chief Shawn Schultz, gave Mia more than enough fire power to capture the Ironman Trophy for the long ride home!

Congratulations to Mia and the entire Schultz team on finding their way to yet another Winner's Circle!

Andrew Green Uses Great Packages to Park Himself in Byron Dragway Winner Circle

Andrew Green and his team have become known for hitting some of the bigger events in the country, and being contenders everywhere they go. However, on their off weekend's they still like to have some fun at their local track, and this past weekend Andrew found the Winner's Circle at one of them!

Andrew and Crew Chief Ben Green have been putting together better and better packages with their HP 7.90 Sniper Lite Package over the past 2 seasons. After collecting some race wins in 2014, Andrew came out strong to start his 2015 campaign by grabbing the race win at Byron Dragway this past weekend. A string of nice lights, and a consistent racecar helped park another in the Winner's Circle yet again.

We want to congratulate Andrew and his entire team on another great victory!

Michael Ruark Crushes National Trail Raceway In First Outing of 2015 with HP Sniper XL

Over the winter Michael Ruark and his team stepped up their horsepower level by converting to one of our HP Sniper XL 7.90 combos. Planning on doubling up in bracket and quick 16 competition, Michael started the season off strong by grabbing the first victory at National Trail Raceway in bracket trim!

Michael put together a great string of reaction times and e.t.'s to grab the win! Crew Chief Dave Raurk had this to say of their first outing, "The car ran 7.93 all day. Thanks for everything you do for us. He averaged a 0.19 on the tree and went 5 rounds. In the finals Michael had a .002 light for the win!".

Congratulations to Michael and his team on the first of many victories sure to come in 2015!

Cade Poe Continues Dominant Ways on West Coast, Collects Another 7.90 Victory At ANRA Season Opener

Cade Poe is continuing to make life hard on racers on the West Coast. After dominating the 8.90 world for the past few years with his HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Package, Cade has moved up this season to the 7.90 ranks. While his HP 7.90 Sniper Lite Package may be a different animal, his winning results haven't changed!

This time it was Cade collecting the season opening win of the ANRA. Cade, a former champion of the series in his 8.90 days, marched through a tough field of competitors to find himself in a familiar spot. This win marks the third victory for Cade already in 2015!

We want to congratulate Cade and the entire Poe Team on yet another awesome outing!

Jake brought his HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Package to the line ready to grab the first victory of 2015! He was able to grab the starting line advantage in the early rounds and pedal his way to the finals!

Mitchell Seymore Shines Bright in Alabama Sun, Takes Montgomery Raceway Park Super 7 Victory

Mitchell Seymore and his team have won a lot of races over the years with their HP 7.90 Heavy combo. After going rounds at the SEJRA opening event at Montgomery Raceway Park a few weeks ago, Mitchell was primed and ready to add another race win to his tally.

In the semi's Mitchell brought his HP powered ride to the starting line against Brady Fomby and his HP 8.90 Turn-Key Assassin machine. Mitchell was nearly perfect with a stellar .004 reaction time to Brady's nice .042. That would prove to be enough as both driver's were pedaling at the finish line, but Mitchell's 8.13 on his 8.07 got the win and the place in the finals. The finals would be over before it really got started. Mitchell put up another very nice light with an .025, but his opponent would leave the red light glowing giving the young Seymore the victory!

Congratulations to Mitchell and the Seymore team on a very nice victory!

Ryan was great on the tree, and crew chief Dan Mason had the car dead on the dial all day. Dan had this to say of his HP 8.90 combo, "Thanks for the help with the tune up advice.

Cade Poe Continues Dominant Ways in 7.90 Debut, Takes SCEDA Event Victory

Cade Poe was arguably one of the most dominant 8.90 Racers the Jr. sport has ever seen. After multiple wins, championships, and back to back Western Conference Finals victories with his HP 8.90 Sniper Jr. Package, Cade opened his 7.90 career this past weekend in Southern California. To very few people's surprise, the younger Poe brother found himself in the Winner's Circle in his first outing with his HP 7.90 Lite Package.

The weekend wasn't an easy one for the Poe Racing Team as issues with the facility made the event become a 2 day race. In normal circumstances this would be hard enough, but on top of that Cade's crew chief and father, John Poe had to work the following day and would not be in attendance for the conclusion of the race. Luckily some great friends stepped in for the Poe's to carry the extra weight and Cade continued his march to the Winner's Circle on Sunday. In the finals Cade had a very nice package for the win with an .030 light and a 7.891 on his 7.90 dial for the victory!

We want to congratulate Cade and the entire Poe Team on a great win, and the perfect start to a 7.90 career!

Michael Ruark Captures National Trails Quick 16 Championship in First Season with HP Quick 16 Combo

Michael Ruark and his family have been standout racers in the Midwest portion of the country for a few seasons now. Once Michael was old enough to go Quick 16 racing, the Ruark Family knew the HP Quick 16 combo was the way they wanted to go. When the dust settled from a long season that decision paid off big time!

Michael started off his 2014 campaign with a bang by grabbing the #1 qualifier spot in the National Trails Quick 16 class. He followed that up with 2 wins throughout the season, and a slew of #1 qualifying spots during the year. That front running helped him to land the 2014 National Trails Quick 16 Championship in his first season competing in the class!

We want to congratulate Michael and the Ruark Team on an outstanding season!

 

Huddleston Performance Increases PDRA Presence with Purchase of Infamous "Lowmad"



(12-11-14) PITTSBORO, NC - Several companies took the leap with the Professional Drag Racers Association as they stepped out for their debut in 2014. One of those companies was Huddleston Performance, who sponsored both the Pro and Top Junior Dragster categories. Huddleston Performance is one of the front running companies for Junior Dragster racing, providing turn-key cars, engines, clutches and a full line of components for racers all over the world. Now Huddleston Performance mastermind, Bo Huddleston, and his team are ready to increase their PDRA involvement by debuting a new Pro Boost team and increasing their sponsorship involvement.

Bo’s son Thomas, a former junior driver himself, will pilot the Pro Boost car, which will be strikingly familiar to professional eighth mile followers. A few short days ago, the Huddleston family purchased the famous “Lowmad,” a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad machine, previously campaigned by David Elsberry’s team.

Thomas Huddleston, now 28, was a proficient Junior Dragster driver in his day, racking up quite a list of awards, race wins and championships. After his Junior Dragster days, Thomas focused on schooling, earning his college degree before coming back to Huddleston Performance where he now works as their main engine builder. Prior to this new chapter, Thomas piloted a number of bracket dragsters and spent time behind the wheel of a nitrous-breathing Outlaw 10.5 ride.

“We started off looking for a car to compete with in the PDRA,” Bo began, explaining how the Pro Boost team came to be. “We were thinking one of the sportsman classes, but the appeal of those classes wasn’t there for us personally The PDRA is all about heads up racing, and we’ve spent many years in different heads up arenas. So then we started thinking that if we are going to heads up race we want to do it with something unique. That led us down the road that ended with a meeting with Mr. David Elsberry, new owner of Montgomery Raceway Park.”

Huddleston continued, “We originally went down to look at a pair of cars Mr. Elsberry had for sale. The first being a ‘63 Corvette he had and the second being the original Lowmad. After some discussion we had pretty well settled on the ‘63 ‘vette, even though in our eyes it lacked the ‘curb appeal’ of the older Lowmad. That was when Mr. Elsberry pulled back the cover on the newer Lowmad we’ve all seen compete in Pro Extreme. After some discussion about it, he was kind enough to offer her up to us as the next ‘Caretakers’ in its storied history. As a family we knew immediately that this wasn’t an opportunity we could pass up. We certainly want to take the chance to thank Mr. Elsberry for giving us the opportunity to carry on the Lowmad for years to come.”

Huddleston bought the car nearly turn-key and had a mostly ready made Pro Boost operation within a few hours. “I literally thought I was going to buy a rolling car and have to go get a motor and transmission and all the other stuff. By the end of it, I had purchased the majority of the car. We went from Sunday morning not having the main piece needed to run a race team to Sunday evening having the majority of what we needed in one purchase. And for that to happen three days before the PRI starts - well, some of us work well under pressure, so here we are.”

On the business side of things, Huddleston Performance will increase their sponsorship level and maintain a greater presence at PDRA events.

“We’ve been a supporter of various series and races for a long time,” Huddleston explained. “While we always want to be a major sponsor of in the Junior world, we really wanted to branch out in a way that didn’t feel like we were ‘preaching to the choir’ so to speak. We still want to support those races, but we want to hit the untapped markets as well. With the PDRA’s ticket model, it draws a person that maybe can’t purchase a new Pro Mod, but very well may be interested in a Junior Dragster for their young driver. It seemed like it would be a good fit for us. And it turns out that’s correct. We get asked questions that only those who haven’t been around the sport a lot would ask. The truth is you want those questions to be asked because that tells you the guy you’re talking to is new, and we just get inundated with that when we go to PDRA events. So it’s been a really good fit for us. One thing I’ve got to say is that we’ve really been welcomed by the PDRA bunch. I feel like we’re a very small fish in a very big pond and nobody treats us that way. They’ve put a good organization together. This one is the real deal.

“For 2015 we have upped our sponsor level. We’re now sponsoring one of the TV spots next season. I can speak for everyone in the shop when I say we’re excited about this opportunity to grow our exposure through the PDRA. To be able to take Junior Drag Racing to a place it has never been before is thrilling for all of us at Huddleston Performance.

“I feel like it’s a great connection,” Bo added. “Many of the junior racers we come in contact with hope to one day compete in a professional class with the PDRA. They have the dream of growing up to be a Pro Mod driver. That’s a big part of the draw for starting out with the PDRA for them. So to now have a former junior driver in Thomas living the dream, so to speak, is pretty cool.”

The Huddleston family plan on testing the Lowmad in February in preparation for the PDRA season opener at Texas Motorplex March 20-21.

Mia Schultz and Preston Tanner Earn SEJRA Points Championships in 2014

Preston Tanner and Mia Schultz have both drove the wheels off their HP Assassin Turn-Key Cars in 2014. Both have won multiple races in the SEJRA, PDRA, Midwest Series, and IHRA Divisional. This weekend they each finished their SEJRA Season strong by capturing a Championship in their Age Group!

Mia started the weekend off right by capturing the 10-12 Year Old Championship. A win to start the season at US 43 Dragway sent her season in the right direction from the beginning. Capturing round wins at both Music City and Bristol all but sealed the deal coming into the SEJRA Memphis event. By entering the race, Mia made it nearly impossible for second place racer Lexi Tanner to catch her. In addition to Mia, we'd also like to congratulate second place finisher Lexi Tanner and third place Brady Fomby. Both Racers also compete in our HP 8.90 Assassin Turn-Key Cars!

Preston Tanner followed Mia's lead by capturing the 13&Up Age Group Championship later that same day. A points race which saw a lot of good racers aiming for the top spot, Preston was able to come out victorious at the conclusion of the Memphis Race. Like Mia, he opened his season with a win at the SEJRA US 43 Dragway event and never looked back. Round wins at the remaining races were enough to keep him out in front of his competition for the championship!

We'd like to congratulate both Preston and Mia for representing the HP Brand so well in their HP Assassin Turn-Key Cars this season! We look forward to your continued success in 2015!

HP Racers Capture Wins at Final SEJRA Points Race at Memphis International Raceway

We want to send a big congratulations out to our HP Racers who carried the banner strong at the final points race of 2014 for the South-East Junior Racing Association. Weather conditions were tricky all weekend, but both Preston Tanner and Brody Quick were able to march their HP Combos to the Winner's Circle to highlight the weekend.

Brody started things off right in the 13&Up Age Group on Sunday. He used a string of nice lights and spot on runs to find his way to the Winner's Circle. In the finals he would bring his HP 7.90 Lite Package to the line against Miles Martin and his 2013 HP 7.90 Lite Assassin Turn-Key Car. Brody would get the better of Miles on both ends of the racetrack to grab the race win!

Preston Tanner followed up Brody's performance shortly after by claiming the $1,000 All-Run victory in his 2013 HP 7.90 Lite Assassin Turn-Key Car. Preston was able to use a nice starting line advantage, and a nice 7.920 on his 7.90 dial to earn the victory. That victory nearly grabbed Preston the season long points championship in the All-Run category, but he had to settle for second by a mere 12 points.

We want to congratulate both Racers on a great weekend of action, and a great season for all our HP Racers!

Meredith Miller Ends Season Strong, Collects Midwest Series $1,000 All-Run Win at Final Event

Meredith Miller and her HP 7.90 Lite Package were on a tear at the season finale of the Midwest Series. She used a string of great lights, and a very consistent car thanks to crew chief Eric Miller, to collect the $1,000 and Wally trophy!

Throughout the race Meredith was all over the tree, cutting a .008, .015, and .011 light on her way to victory. Her hotrod was just as good as she ran 4 dead on 7.90 passes during eliminations to capture the win. In the finals she met up with fellow HP Racer Emilee Novak in her HP Turn-Key Assassin 7.90 machine. It would be over on the starting line as Emilee went red, but Meredith was on point again with another 7.905 on her 7.90 dial!

Crew Chief Eric Miller had this to say of his driver and HP Combo, "I'm so proud of what she has done this year and hope the good mojo continues next year. I'm also happy that I chose Huddleston Performance for our paackage. Much of the credit has to go to you guys for doing your homework and supplying a winning combination."

We want to congratulate Meredith on a great season, and wish her continued luck in 2015!
