It's 92 degrees all over the country and the competition
was hot. The Edelbrock Pro series was at Martin, MI on
June 24th-25th and the NSCA was at Milan, MI on June
25th-26th. This close proximity allowed racers the
opportunity to compete at both events and Rob Golobo
stepped up to the plate. Golobo not only raced both events
last weekend, he won them!
Ross Stomp's Midwest Engine Powered Nova
Golobo faced Ross Stomp in the final round of NPS at the Pro
Series event (where our carburetors had 4 of the top five
qualifiers).
In the final it ended up being Golobo versus Stomp. I couldn't be happier about that as I was tuning on both cars that weekend. Rob had just received our latest design in NPS carburetors as had Ross. Both drivers just picked up their bullets from their engine builders (Mike Moran for Golobo and Midwest Engine Tech for Stomp). So both combinations needed some sorting out. In the final however it was Golobo's 7.67 over Stomps 7.69 that grabbed top honors for Rob.

But Rob wasn't done yet. He trekked over to the NSCA event where our side had the Top 3 qualifying positions. Kevin Parent was #1 with Lukovich power Golobo was qualified #2 and Bruce Polous was #3. Golobo made it to the final again and won it, doubling up in NPS competition. It was 90 degrees outside everyday and the only thing more wore out than Rob (see photo) was their tow vehicle. Good job guys. While we're still at the NSCA event, Randy Jewell was the #1 qualifier in Top Street setting a class E.T. record. Oh, but it doesn't stop there, in the heat of the day, in the final round, he reset the MPH Record and won the event! That record now stands at 203.56! Go Pro-Car! Back to US 131. Super Street was all Bryan Markiewicz as Chris Nelson of Nelson Competition, Tampa, FL (727-321-5756) who is apparently used to this heat, showed his tuning prowess. Bryans flamed yellow Mustang qualified #1 stomping on all comers, easily winning the final round traveling the quarter mile in 7.40 seconds at 189 mph.

Pro Stock was another tough race as Jamie Stanton's
car was giving him some grief lately. So we had a late
night pow-wow and made a list of everything that could
be causing the odd gremlin the car was experiencing.
Then, we changed it all. Everything.

Meanwhile, Jamie's toughest competitors, Engine builder
Chris Uratchko and Driver Butch Kemp came over to
the Pro Systems rig as they had a few ideas for improving
power in their program (that may have panned out) but
would've certainly been a gamble. So they elected to stay
the course and test the ideas at a later date.
"Changing everything" worked for Jamie as he took the win
going 8.99 mph at 150 mph and Butch Kemp's less
aerodynamic Nova showed its power and was right there
at a 9.06 147.
In SCCA Trans am competition, Randy Ruhlman uses one of our 3 circuit Trans AM carburetors to control his Preformed Line Products Corvette. Randy is on a roll and continues to lead the pack in the SCCA Trans AM series points race. After walloping the wall during practice at the Cleveland event this past weekend, it took 9 guys 18 hours to cut off the front end of Randy's car and reweld a new chassis on the front of the Derhaag Motorsports car. Wow! After being required to start from the back of the field as a result of this crash, Ruhlman then battled past all his competitors in the sweltering heat to finish FIRST! Randy has now won 2 out of the three events! American GT competition is great road racing as well. Edison Lluch loves the new series and he should as he made a season opening sweep of the Carolina Motorsports park event. Edison used CRD power (704-792-1955) and our 3 circuit Trans am carburetor to qualify number one and win both the first and second race. Edison now leads the points in this exciting class and he couldn't be happier.
Thanks to all these competitors who chose Pro Systems
for carburetion. We're glad to be on board.
Thanks for reading.
